Oak Creek is the tightest market in the county.
10 active listings. Total. In the whole city. That's the headline. Buyers showing up in Oak Creek aren't comparing five houses — they're hoping one of the three available ones fits.
Average days on market dropped from 33 to 19 YTD — a 42% improvement. Median CDOM dropped from 9 days to 4. Both directions confirm the same thing: supply is so thin that anything decent gets bid quickly.
Sale-to-list ratio is 103.3% in April — sellers averaging 3% over asking. Year-ago that was 102%. Inventory tightness is actually intensifying, not loosening.
The $400K–$500K bracket is the absolute heart of the market — 10 of April's 19 sales fell here. That tier is up 31% YTD. The sub-$300K market has essentially disappeared.
Short read for buyers: be pre-approved before you start touring. Be ready to write within 48 hours. Trying to lowball or get a long inspection contingency through in this market will lose you the house. Short read for sellers: this is as good as it gets — list now, prep the house, and you'll have multiple offers within the week.
