Is It Too Late to Sell My Cache Home This Year?

No, it is not too late to sell your Cache home this year. About one in three existing-home sales in the United States happens in the final four months of the year, and Cache, OK homes are selling in about 59 days on average, down from roughly 101 days a year earlier. A well-priced Cache home listed in mid-October can realistically be under contract by early December and closed before the end of the year, which is exactly the pace at which 408 Mountain Meadow Dr, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home built in 2011, sold for $230,000.

The Short Answer

No, but the calendar matters. October still has real momentum: about one in three of all existing-home sales in the U.S. happens in the final four months of the year, and that share has grown every year since 2023. November and December are the slowest months of the year nationally, so the homes that sell in the fall are the ones priced and presented for the buyers who are actually out there. In Cache, a real town of about 3,300 people roughly 23 minutes from Fort Sill, the buyer pool is small but steady, and well-priced homes move.

What the Calendar Looks Like for a Cache Seller

Cache homes average about 59 days on the market, and a typical purchase contract runs 30 to 45 days from accepted offer to closing. Run that timeline from mid-October and a well-priced listing can be under contract by early December and closing before the end of the year or very early January.

List in November and you are aiming at a January or February closing. That is why the "too late" question is really about when you need to move, not whether buyers exist. If you need to be out by a certain date, a PCS order, a new job, or a family change, the calendar starts with your deadline, and a listing now can still work.

Why Fall Buyers Are Serious Buyers

About one in three home sales happens in the final four months of the year, and fall buyers tend to be more motivated than summer browsers. They are relocating, moving for a job, timing a purchase for tax reasons, or trying to close before the end of the year, and those buyers make decisions.

Fort Sill's PCS season runs June through August and can stretch into September, so by October the big inbound wave has passed. But the fall buyer pool for Cache still includes local buyers, VA-eligible buyers, and families who need to move before the holidays or the new year. Cache sits about 23 minutes from Fort Sill, and that commute keeps it on a military buyer's radar all year, not just in PCS season.

What Cache's Market Says Right Now

Redfin's latest snapshot puts Cache's median sale price around $215,000, with homes selling after about 59 days on the market on average, down from roughly 101 days a year earlier. The market is small, only a handful of sales in a typical month, so pricing and presentation decide who sells before the end of the year.

408 Mountain Meadow Dr is the local proof. The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, 1,500 square feet on an 8,190-square-foot lot, built in 2011 with a brick veneer exterior, a slab foundation, a composition roof, a double driveway, a two-car garage, a wood fence, an open living area with a wood-burning fireplace, double-pane windows, and public water and sewer, sold for $230,000, about $153 per square foot. It was priced inside the band where Cache buyers were paying and it moved.

The One Thing That Matters More Than the Calendar

Pricing. November and December are the slowest months of the year, and overpriced listings are the ones that sit through them. A Cache home priced inside the band where buyers are actually paying, presented so it photographs and videos well, and marketed to the Fort Sill buyer pool can still sell this year. That is exactly what sold 408 Mountain Meadow Dr, and it is the same playbook Travis Wright runs for every Cache seller, in October or any other month.
