The Home Builders Association of Greater Tulsa reports a continued strong pace of residential construction across the Tulsa metro area. Through September 2025, the region recorded 2,578 housing starts, marking an 8.3% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
The September total of 273 new housing starts reflects consistent momentum as builders meet ongoing housing demand throughout the area.
“Despite market fluctuations, Tulsa’s housing industry remains stable and productive,” said Jeffrey Smith, CEO of the Home Builders Association of Greater Tulsa. “Builders continue to respond to population growth, job creation, and buyer demand across the metro.”
Regional Highlights
• Broken Arrow led all municipalities with 497 housing units so far in 2025, followed by Bixby (404) and Owasso (133).
• Tulsa County remains the most active area overall, accounting for 246 starts year-to-date, while Wagoner County (265) and Rogers County (169) also showed strong contributions.
• Smaller communities such as Coweta (192) and Jenks (94) continue to post steady growth.
These figures show that new home construction is active across the region, not limited to one community, signaling strong demand throughout both the city and its surrounding suburbs.
Monthly Trends
2025 began with an exceptionally strong first quarter. January rose 57% over the previous year, and March climbed 18%. The year-to-date total through September (2,578) has already surpassed 2024’s pace, positioning Tulsa Builders for another solid finish to the year.
“Builders in the Tulsa metro area continue to deliver high-quality homes that meet the needs of families, professionals, and first-time buyers alike,” Smith added. “The consistency of these numbers shows confidence in the market and in our local workforce.”
