Tulsa's multifamily market began Q1 2026 on a positive note, with absorption of 327 units outpacing deliveries of 285 units and occupancy holding steady at 95.9% across all property classes. Average asking rents reached a new peak of $1,034 per month, with Class A rents at $1,350, Class B at $1,041, and Class C at $828. Construction activity declined for the ninth consecutive quarter, with just 80 units underway as of Q1, all concentrated in the Central Tulsa submarket, signaling a sustained and meaningful pullback in new supply. Central Tulsa led all submarkets in demand at 301 units absorbed, and the near-empty pipeline positions the market for continued rent growth and tighter occupancy heading into the remainder of 2026.
