"In the core detached market, you don't have much time to dawdle."

Here's a number that surprises a lot of Oakmont sellers: over the last 12 months, detached homes here sold in a median of about 13 days — at essentially 100% of list price. This is a golf-course community with larger, upscale homes, and it moves faster than its reputation suggests.
That headline hides real variation by segment, though. Let me break it down honestly.
Why the Segments Differ
A neighbourhood-wide DOM average can mislead, because Oakmont sells everything from condos to estates:
1. Price diversity creates buyer sorting time With homes ranging from $163,000 to $2.45M, Oakmont buyers span every demographic and budget. A first-time condo shopper and a luxury estate buyer shop in completely different segments, on completely different timelines. Blend them and the average stretches.
2. The luxury segment moves slower everywhere The 9.2% of sales above $800K and 8.2% in the $700–800K band are segments where buyers take their time. Multiple showings, second visits, family consultations, inspection negotiations — luxury buyers are deliberate. That deliberation lifts the top-end average, even when the core detached market is brisk.
3. Some sellers test the market too high Every neighbourhood has homes that launch overpriced, sit for 60+ days, then adjust and sell. In Oakmont, with such a wide price range, the occasional overreach is inevitable — and one or two of those can skew a small monthly sample.
What ~13 Days Means for Buyers
In the core detached market, you don't have much time to dawdle.
Well-priced detached homes around the neighbourhood's ~$645K median (last 12 months, n=52) tend to go quickly, often inside two weeks. If you find one you love, be pre-approved and ready to write.
Where you get more breathing room is the top end. For luxury buyers ($700K+), the pace is slower and more deliberate. You can see a home twice. You can bring your contractor for a walkthrough. You can negotiate. The top end actually gives you room to breathe.
What This Means for Sellers
Pricing accuracy is everything.
Detached sellers who price to the comparables are seeing roughly 13-day sales at essentially full asking (sold-to-list ran 100.0% over the last 12 months). Price 10–15% above the comparables, though, and you become the listing that sits — and eventually sells for less than a sharp launch would have earned.
The data is clear: Oakmont's core market rewards pricing discipline. Homes that align with comparable sales move fast. Homes that reach for the moon sit — and eventually settle for less than they would have gotten with a sharp launch price.
The Bracket Breakdown
Precise DOM by bracket comes from small samples, so treat these as directional from the data and my own experience:
- Core detached (mid-$600s): roughly 13 days at market pricing. This is the engine of the neighbourhood.
- Entry condos and attached: quicker still when priced right — first-time and investor demand is steady.
- $700K+: longer and more variable. Luxury takes time. Quality buyers are deliberate.
Strategy for 2026
Early-2026 detached sales sit around $620K, but on just n=12 — a tiny, directional sample, not a trend. What holds up is the 12-month picture: a $645K detached median, ~13-day sales, and full-asking closes. A well-priced Oakmont home will still move quickly. An optimistic one will sit.
