Wondering if Edmond is still growing? Short answer: yes. If you are planning a move, growth shapes everything from inventory and pricing to the kinds of homes coming online. In a few minutes, you will see what is driving Edmond’s momentum, where new development is headed, and how to adjust your plan as a buyer or seller. Let’s dive in.
Edmond is still growing
The latest U.S. Census estimate puts Edmond’s July 1, 2024 population at about 99,040, up from 94,428 in 2020, which is roughly a 4.9 percent increase. You can verify that in the U.S. Census QuickFacts for Edmond. See the 2024 Census estimate.
City documents also point to steady building activity. The City of Edmond’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report includes recent construction permit counts and values, a good indicator that new housing and improvements are in the pipeline. It also lists principal employers, which speak to local job stability. Review the City’s ACFR details.
Housing market: what to expect now
Recent market snapshots describe Edmond as somewhat competitive, with pace and pricing that vary by neighborhood. That means well-prepared buyers still win in popular areas, and well-positioned listings attract strong interest. Keep in mind that short-term shifts often track mortgage rates and seasonal inventory.
Where new supply is coming
Liberty Park and the University District
City leaders have advanced plans for mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods, including Liberty Park near Coffee Creek and a campus-adjacent University District by UCO. These concepts are designed to add housing alongside retail and pedestrian amenities. Expect phased delivery over several years. Read recent approval coverage.
Infill and townhome options
Beyond large sites, Edmond is seeing interest in smaller-footprint homes and townhomes inside established areas. This gradual diversification can improve choices for buyers who want lower maintenance or a more urban feel. Timelines depend on approvals and infrastructure.
East Edmond long-term tracts
Very large parcels to the east, including the Arcadia Lake corridor, are in various planning conversations. If built, these projects would add supply over many years and may include trail and commercial components. Follow the City’s agendas for updates. Check Planning and Council agendas.
Local economy supports steady demand
Education and healthcare anchor Edmond’s job base, with Edmond Public Schools, the University of Central Oklahoma, and major health systems among the top employers. A stable employer mix tends to support housing through cycles. You can find principal employers listed in the City’s financial report. See the employer table in the ACFR.
UCO also draws students, faculty, and staff, which influences near-campus housing and rentals. Learn more about UCO. The Edmond Economic Development Authority highlights livability accolades that help attract talent and new residents. Explore EEDA accolades.
What growth means for buyers
Competition varies by micro-market
Inventory can feel tight in certain pockets. Be ready to tour quickly, understand list-to-sale patterns in your target area, and decide fast on well-matched homes. Keep an eye on weekly market snapshots so your offer strategy fits current conditions.
More new construction ahead
Mixed-use projects and infill townhomes should expand choices over time, including smaller-lot or lower-maintenance options. Delivery is phased, so if you prefer new, consider both quick-move-in opportunities and to-be-built timelines.
Budget the full monthly cost
Compare property taxes, HOA dues, and insurance, not just the mortgage. City financial and tax documents help you estimate carrying costs by neighborhood type. Use the City’s ACFR as a reference point.
What growth means for sellers
Price to the pocket, not the citywide average
Values move street by street. A well-staged, correctly priced home near parks, jobs, or campus activity can still draw strong offers. Your best results come from aligning condition, pricing, and timing to the most current data for your specific area.
Watch nearby approvals and timing
If a large subdivision or mixed-use project is planned near you, that can add future competition as phases deliver over 1 to 5 years. Weigh the benefit of listing now against waiting for more inventory to arrive, and track local approvals to inform timing. Follow local project coverage and City agendas.
Why the mix of homes matters
Builder sentiment in Oklahoma shows caution on multifamily and a continued emphasis on single-family. That mix can affect affordability and availability for first-time buyers and downsizers. As more medium-density options are approved, expect broader choices. See builder sentiment context.
How to make a confident move
Buyer quick-start checklist
- Define must-haves and nice-to-haves, then set alerts for your target neighborhoods so you can tour quickly and write a clean offer when the right home appears.
- Compare resale and new-build paths, including move-in timeline, warranties, HOA specifics, and likely total carrying costs.
- Ground your budget in today’s rates and plan for rate movement. Small changes can shift monthly costs more than small price changes.
Seller readiness checklist
- Audit condition and presentation. Thoughtful prep, light repairs, and professional marketing help your home compete as new supply ramps up.
- Price with precision using the latest neighborhood data on days on market and list-to-sale patterns.
- Choose timing with nearby approvals in mind, especially if large phases are slated to deliver in your submarket.
