Tulsa sits at a median home value of $220,279 as of the latest Zillow read, essentially flat year-over-year, which historically is the most workable environment for disciplined wholesalers.
The sale-to-list ratio of 0.984 signals a balanced market — neither bid wars nor fire sales dominate. 59.5% of closings land below list, leaving room to negotiate on the right deal but no broad discount across the board.
Rents tell a stronger story. The Zillow Observed Rent Index for Tulsa is $1,250/mo against a $220k median — that’s a 6.81% gross annual rent yield, well above the national 4-5% baseline. BRRRR and long-term rental strategies have real cushion here.
Median days-on-market is running around 24 days against 1,636.667 active listings — that’s a fast-moving market. Speed is the moat; pre-arranged proof of funds and a tight buyers list are the difference between getting under contract and getting outbid.
MDR’s composite investor score for Tulsa is 76/100 based on rent yield, sale-to-list discount, motivated-seller proxies, and DOM. That puts it in our top tier — actively recommended for new capital deployment this cycle.
