Trying to make sense of Yukon’s housing market, but every site seems to show a different number? You are not imagining it. Different data sources track different things, which can make Yukon look cheaper or pricier depending on what you’re viewing. In this guide, you’ll see the key trends locals care about, why sources disagree, and how to use the numbers to make smart decisions. Let’s dive in.
What homes cost in Yukon right now
Prices sit in a clear range, and the spread comes from how each provider measures the market and which boundaries they use.
- Median sold price: about $250,000 (Redfin, Dec 2025). See the city market snapshot on the Redfin Yukon page.
- Typical home value: about $269,754 with a 1-year change near +1.5% (Zillow ZHVI, Dec 2025). See the Zillow Yukon market page.
- Median listing price: about $304,990 (Realtor.com, Dec 2025). See the Realtor.com Yukon market page.
Why these differ: ZHVI is a smoothed estimate of a “typical” home’s value, median sold price reflects closed deals in a month, and median list price captures what sellers are asking right now. Different boundaries, like city limits versus ZIP or MLS coverage, also shift results.
Price per square foot shows a similar range. Redfin reports roughly $151 per square foot (Dec 2025), while Realtor.com shows about $170 per square foot for the same period. Again, sold data versus listing data typically explains the gap.
Quick pricing takeaway
If you are budgeting or setting a list price, use the range to shape expectations: recent transactions cluster around the mid-$200s, smoothed typical values sit near the high-$260s, and current asking prices skew closer to $300K. Your exact number should reflect recent street-level comps and condition.
How fast homes are selling
Yukon’s market has slowed from the bidding-war peak, but it is not a deep buyer’s market.
- Time to contract: about 41 days to pending (Zillow, Dec 2025) per the Zillow Yukon page.
- Days on market: about 46 days to sale (Redfin, Dec 2025) per the Redfin city snapshot.
- Days on market: around 62 days (Realtor.com, Dec 2025) per the Realtor.com local overview.
These differences come from when each provider counts a listing as active, pending, or sold. The practical read: plan for six to nine weeks to go under contract in many cases. Well-presented homes move faster; out-of-season or over‑priced homes sit longer.
On negotiation, the sale-to-list ratio sits close to 0.995, and about one in four recent sales closed over asking (Zillow, late 2025) per the Zillow city page. Redfin also notes that multiple offers are still common in Yukon. You should expect strong interest for well-priced, move-in ready listings, but not automatic bidding wars for every home.
Inventory and who holds the leverage
City-level active listing counts vary widely by source because of boundary differences. For example, December 2025 snapshots show hundreds of active homes on Zillow, while Realtor.com shows counts above 1,000 for Yukon-area coverage. That kind of spread is normal for smaller markets.
At the county level, the picture is steadier. Canadian County reported roughly 1,232 active listings and about 289 closed sales in December 2025 on common feeds. That works out to about 4.3 months of supply (inventory divided by monthly sales), which is near a balanced market. You can review the county context on the Zillow Canadian County page. For reference, many industry guides consider about 4 to 6 months as balanced between buyers and sellers, with less favoring sellers and more favoring buyers. See the definition and context in this Realtor.com market commentary.
What it means: balance is the headline. Good homes still command attention and close near asking, but buyers have more time and leverage than they did during 2020 to 2021. Pricing and presentation matter.
What is driving demand in Yukon
- Population and income: Yukon’s population is estimated around 27,068 as of July 1, 2024, with growth since 2020. Median household income sits near $75,273 and the average commute is about 22.8 minutes. See the latest figures on U.S. Census QuickFacts. These indicators fit a suburban, commuter-friendly community with solid household incomes.
- Schools: Yukon Public Schools enroll more than 9,100 students, which supports steady family-driven demand. Explore district facts on the Yukon Public Schools profile. Use neutral, data-based comparisons when evaluating locations.
- County growth: Canadian County is among Oklahoma’s fastest-growing counties, which raises demand in suburban hubs like Yukon. See local context in this Yukon Progress report on population growth.
- Mortgage rates: The 30-year fixed mortgage average recently hovered near 6.09% as of February 12, 2026, based on the Freddie Mac PMMS archive. Lower rates compared with last year can help affordability and may bring more buyers back into the market. Rates change weekly, so plan your timing with your lender.
Investors note: Realtor.com shows a median rent around $1,595 per month for Yukon, which can help frame hold-versus-sell decisions when combined with purchase price and operating costs. See the Realtor.com local overview for rental context.
If you are selling
- Price to the market, not past peaks. With a sale-to-list ratio near 0.995 and longer days on market than the frenzy years, pricing at fair market value draws early showings and stronger offers. Stretch pricing can stall momentum and lead to price cuts. Source: Zillow Yukon market page.
- Prep and presentation still win. Professional photos and clean staging help your home stand out online, increase traffic in the first two weeks, and support a stronger negotiating position.
- Time your launch if you can. Spring remains the busiest listing season in most markets. If you have flexibility, align prep to go live during peak demand. See general prep guidance and seasonality tips on Realtor.com’s advice hub.
- Expect terms to matter. You will likely compare offers on both price and terms, such as closing timeline and contingencies. Well-positioned homes may see multiple offers, but buyers have more breathing room than in 2021, so plan for a thoughtful review rather than a 24-hour rush.
- Plan your calendar. Many Yukon listings go under contract in 6 to 9 weeks in current conditions, then take 30 to 45 days to close depending on financing and inspections. Source ranges: about 41 to 62 days to contract from Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com for December 2025.
If you are buying
- Get fully pre-approved and know your ceiling. With more time on market than in 2021, you can evaluate comps and move purposefully. Hot, updated homes can still move fast, so have your financing ready before touring. See time-to-contract context on Zillow’s Yukon page.
- Use comps to set your bid. A practical workflow: 1) Pull three to five closed sales from the last 60 to 90 days that mirror your target home in size and condition. 2) Compare price per square foot and updates. 3) Establish a realistic offer range. 4) Decide on walk‑away and escalation limits with your agent. You can find sold-price context on the Redfin city snapshot.
- Compete only when it makes sense. For well-priced listings, consider a clean contract, strong earnest money, and an escalation clause if justified. Understand the trade-offs before adjusting contingencies.
- Watch rates and lock strategically. Mortgage rates shift week to week. Track the Freddie Mac PMMS and coordinate with your lender so your lock lines up with your expected close date.
How we measured this market
Transparency helps you interpret the headlines and confirm details with your agent.
- Data window: home-value and market snapshots run through December 2025; mortgage rates reflect February 12, 2026, per Freddie Mac PMMS.
- Boundaries vary: city limits, ZIP 73099, and MLS polygons do not match. Provider coverage affects counts and medians. Check the source label on every number you use.
- What each metric means: ZHVI is a smoothed “typical value.” Median sold price is closed transactions in a month. Median list price is what sellers are asking today. See Yukon snapshots on Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com.
- Inventory and months of supply: a quick estimate uses active listings divided by monthly sales. Canadian County’s rough 4.3 months in Dec 2025 signals balance. County context is on Zillow’s Canadian County page. For a plain-language definition of months-of-supply, see this Realtor.com explainer.
- Verify locally: for street-level pricing or offers, rely on your agent’s MLS comps and property-specific analysis.
