Do two methods point the same way?

Zillow estimates a current home value. FHFA tracks repeat mortgage transactions. Their growth rates should be read side by side, not averaged.

County brief

What the local evidence says

01Decision frame

Okfuskee County is a verify-before-bidding market: Zillow’s 2026-06 median home value was $150,645, but rent economics cannot be tested from published county data and MLS marketing conditions are mixed. Investors able to document address-level rent, insurance and repair exposure should investigate; buyers that require proven yield or quick resale liquidity should be cautious.

02Housing economics

Market rent is not published, so gross yield cannot be computed. HUD’s $937 FMR is a payment standard, not an estimate of asking rent, and cannot replace rent in a yield calculation. The effective property-tax rate is 0.48%; it is a carrying-cost input but does not establish the tax bill for a specific parcel or total ownership cost. No FHFA annual HPI observation is supplied, preventing a repeat-transaction comparison with Zillow’s county value measure.

03Demand & competition

Realtor.com’s 2026-06 MLS snapshot showed active listings falling 15.85%, while median marketing time reached 105 days, up 66.4%. A 37.68% pending-to-active ratio shows listing status, not closed sales or buyer demand. Together, less visible supply and longer exposure argue against treating asking-market conditions as a clean liquidity signal. Migration was net positive, but inbound movers’ average AGI trailed outbound movers’ by $3,078, which weakens a simple demand reading. Nonoccupants represented 9.86% of 71 purchase mortgages; this measures countywide mortgage participation, not competition for any one home.

04Risk & next checks

Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and modeled climate loss is 0.21% of building value per year; this is a modeled expected loss ratio, not a parcel-specific insurance quote. In 2025 QCEW, covered workplace employment grew 2.88% and average weekly wage was $825; Education and health services was the largest disclosed private supersector. These are covered jobs at county workplaces, not resident employment, unemployment, or a forecast. Obtain lease and rent comps to test yield, closed-sale comps to test exits, and parcel flood, insurance, condition and tax records to establish full carrying costs.

Listing price is an asking price, not a closed sale. Quality-flagged county rows are withheld instead of displayed.

No rent index is published for this county.Zillow’s county rent series does not cover every county, and estimating one from a neighbouring county would be a guess wearing a number’s clothes. Everything above is measured here; no wider market is mapped for it either.
Bear case

What can break the county thesis

  1. Actual market rents and operating costs may not support a property’s carrying costs.
  2. Active-listing metrics may not match closed-sale pricing or exposure time.
  3. Parcel-specific flood exposure, insurance terms, and condition may differ from county indicators.
Underwriting questions

Before pricing a property

What prevents a gross-yield calculation?

Market median asking rent is not published, and HUD FMR is not market rent.

What do the listing figures establish?

They show active MLS listing conditions and marketing time, not closed-sale prices or buyer demand.

Were investors the majority of recorded purchase mortgages?

No. Nonoccupant mortgages were a minority of countywide purchase mortgages and do not identify bidders for a target property.
