The Stillwater housing market continues to evolve, presenting a blend of opportunity and complexity. Home sales have been outpacing new inventory for several weeks now—a clear signal of strong buyer demand. Despite this, home prices have not yet stopped falling. But don’t be misled: the market action index is at 52, signaling we’re already in a solid seller’s market. If the current sales trend continues, prices could very well begin to climb in the near future.
What does this mean for buyers? Timing and guidance are everything.
This is exactly where the value of a trusted, experienced local real estate professional becomes irreplaceable. I’m Richard McDonough—a fourth-generation Stillwater resident and luxury real estate broker with over three decades of experience navigating market shifts just like this.

My clients benefit from more than just a seasoned negotiator—they gain access to exclusive, off-market properties, insightful strategy rooted in real-time data, and a relentless advocate who understands the nuances of our hyper-local market.
While platforms like Zillow offer data, they can’t offer you what I do:
- Access to homes not yet publicly listed
- Strategic insights honed by decades of market cycles
- Deep community ties that open unexpected doors
- Negotiation skills tailored to protect your investment
In markets like this, experience, innovation, and resourcefulness aren't optional—they're essential.

If you’re buying or selling in Stillwater, don’t leave your future in the hands of an algorithm or a random agent. Let’s make informed, powerful moves together.
