Thought I’d share some interesting stats that were published over the weekend, to give you perspective on exactly where the OKC real estate market is, in comparison to past years. One benchmark in particular gave me a little chuckle: The last time construction was this slow, Jeff Click, president of the Central Oklahoma Home Builders […]
Positive Activity on the US Real Estate Scene
February 3, 2009 by
It’s not uncommon for me to post positive news on the Edmond real estate market, but finding good news at the national level has been challenging the past couple of years. However, a glimmer of light was published earlier today. According to the NAR, pending U.S. Home sales saw an increase of more than 6% […]

In the midst of a national real estate meltdown, we’re no strangers to being praised… sounds strange, doesn’t it? Well, here we are again, ranked highly for being a great place to live… you’ll find both Norman and Edmond, OK ranked in Money Magazine’s Top 100 Best Places to Live.
Edmond Real Estate – Keep it in Perspective
January 21, 2009 by
With average home prices in our area of the country being so affordable, it’s easy to lose sight of how good we really have it here in Edmond and Oklahoma City. Since we haven’t experienced the extreme appreciation some parts of the country have, we’ve also been sheltered from the dramatic downhill slides in pricing. […]

Roller Coaster, Anyone?
January 19, 2009 by
I was recently asked by the Oklahoman about my outlook for the Edmond real estate market in 2009… Let’s call it optimistic. The fact is, our local market has been strong and stable, and has only recently begun experiencing a softening, a decline, whatever you choose to call it. Unless you live in a cave, […]
4.5% Mortgage Rates in Edmond… Who's Buying?
December 31, 2008 by
It’s funny how things turn out some days. Monday afternoon, I was sitting at the closing table with a young professional couple who’d qualified for a 4.5% fixed-rate on a new 30-year mortgage. As most of you know, I like to keep everyone up-to-date on the where, when & how of my day, via Twitter, […]
Edmond Home Builders Buckling Down
October 25, 2008 by
Right now, there’s plenty of fear out there; more than enough to go around. With the seemingly consistent flow of scary financial news, and the recent downfall of one of our larger local builders, it’s understandable that the perception may be that the local real estate market is taking a major nose-dive, but we have […]
Shrinking Homes
October 21, 2008 by
I question how much of this particular trend will flow into the Oklahoma City real estate market, but with last week’s fall of a few of Edmond’s larger home builders, we’re definitely seeing a more conservative approach on both the building and buying sides. I guess the key here comes from the money quote in […]
Riding Out the Recession
October 20, 2008 by
Despite all the worry about a looming recession, there’s still a lot of benefit to being in central Oklahoma. You probably remember that Forbes.com rated us the most recession-proof city a while back. Well, now that the economy has slid a little further, they’ve published a new list and apparently they still love us. OKC […]
