About homes in Shawnee

The median home in the city of Shawnee was built in 1973, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Oklahoma median of 1980.1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Somewhat more of Shawnee's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 63% against 50%, with 9% built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Shawnee are of similar age: median build years 1973 and 1976.1

Housing in Shawnee is mostly detached single-family: 78% of units, with 8% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 58% of occupied homes in Shawnee are owner-occupied (66% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Shawnee is valued at $160,100 (ACS), below the Oklahoma median of $199,800.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.

The Meeker 5 W station averages 83 nights a year at or below 32°F and 23 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers run hot, with about 59 days a year at 90°F or more and 9 at 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.

Annual precipitation is about 39 inches, with 11 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 3,655 heating and 1,835 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Shawnee sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Shawnee are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
