I would plan around contract speed, not just available inventory
If your move depends on a narrow timeline, I would not judge the market only by how many homes are available. In Midwest City, OK, the more important issue is how quickly a suitable home can shift from available to unavailable.
In the recent three-month sale activity, Midwest City, OK recorded 10 homes under contract with a typical contract timeline of 9 days. New listings also totaled 10, and they showed a typical market-system time of 4 days. Those numbers tell me availability exists, but the useful decision window can close faster than many movers expect. That is especially relevant for military and relocation timelines. You may have enough choice to compare homes intelligently, but not enough time to delay once the right match appears. I would build your plan around readiness to decide, rather than around the hope that a strong option will still be there after a week of reconsidering. Arrange your financing and travel schedule before your main touring dates. Pre-rank your must-haves so you can judge fit quickly. Keep one backup option in mind so a missed opportunity does not force a rushed compromise.
