The signs are everywhere—birds are chirping, trees are budding, and buyers are buzzing. Spring has officially arrived in Oklahoma, and with it comes one of the busiest and most exciting seasons in real estate. After a cold and somewhat dreary winter (seriously, was it ever going to end?), the market is heating up fast—and if you’ve been waiting to make your move, this is your moment.
Why Spring is Prime Time for Real Estate
Spring isn’t just about blooming flowers and warmer days—it’s the golden hour for both buyers and sellers. After an election year, many people take a “wait and see” approach with big financial decisions. Now that things have settled down and the weather has finally warmed up, buyers are coming out in full force. Showings are up, open houses are busy, and we’re seeing real competition return across Oklahoma.
Sellers benefit too: homes tend to show better in spring. The natural light, fresh air, and green lawns make a property shine. Buyers are more motivated, families want to move before the next school year, and let’s be honest—no one enjoys house hunting in freezing temperatures.
Still Renting? Let’s Talk.
Even with interest rates a little higher than what we saw a couple years ago, owning is still far better than renting. Why? When you rent, you're building someone else’s wealth—not your own. With homeownership, you're gaining equity, enjoying tax advantages, and creating long-term stability. Plus, rates can always be refinanced down the road, but rent prices rarely (if ever) go down.
If you’re tired of writing rent checks with nothing to show for it, Spring 2025 might just be your fresh start.
Sellers: Curb Appeal is King
Realtor.com® economists recently confirmed that spring is the best time to sell, and first impressions matter. If you want to attract motivated buyers, curb appeal is everything.
Here’s your Spring Curb Appeal Checklist:
-
🌿 Landscaping: Remove anything dead, mow the lawn, and pull weeds. Add native flowers and fresh mulch around beds and trees. Think clean, bright, and easy to maintain.
-
🌳 Trim Back Overgrown Shrubs: Don’t let that 20-year-old bush hide your beautiful home. Trim back trees and clear the view so your property shines.
-
✨ Exterior Glow-Up: Pressure wash sidewalks and patios, clean the gutters, and check all exterior lighting. Replace any burned-out bulbs and add a pop of color with fresh flowers near the entryway.
-
🧼 Spring Cleaning Musts:
-
Clean dryer vents
-
Check the roof for winter damage
-
Inspect outdoor faucets for leaks
-
Touch up any chipped paint
-
Declutter the porch and stage it for cozy spring evenings
-
Buyers make snap decisions the moment they pull up, so make sure your home says welcome before they even step inside.
