What the sales history says · 14 years of sales

Bidding wars in Oracle are more common than before the pandemic, and more homes are for sale

We read every month of Oracle’s home sales since 2012 so you don’t have to. Each figure covers 12 months, because a single month in a town is too few sales to mean much. Latest: the year to May 2026, 33 sales.

If you’re buying in Oracle

  • Shop in July. It brings about 5 new listings a month, close to the busiest month, with fewer bidding wars (14% over asking).
  • Some room to negotiate. 16% of listings cut their price, about as many as before the pandemic.
  • Offer under asking. Buyers paid 96.7% of the list price on average; 15% paid over.
  • You’ll usually have time. Only 27% of homes go under contract within two weeks; the typical one takes 77 days.
