The Coldwell Banker 2026 Home Shopping Season Report landed on April 23rd and the headline finding confirmed exactly what I have been telling Tulsa homeowners for over a year.
35% of sellers with sub-5% mortgage rates are listing anyway. 80% of buyers are actively purchasing without waiting for rates to drop. 77% of agents are working with comeback buyers who paused their search and have now re-entered the market.
The lock-in effect is loosening here in Tulsa.
I translated the full report into what it means practically for Tulsa sellers and buyers right now. Worth reading if you are in the market or advising clients who are.
