Value
The term "strong home values" in Oklahoma doesn't just refer to good old fashioned family principles. But don't take our word for it.
Timing
Time is money. Now is a great time to buy and sell homes in the Oklahoma City Metro. The clock is ticking!
Economy
Would you seek shelter here in Oklahoma City if there was a tornado warning in California? Precisely. It's an economically bright, sunshiny day here in Oklahoma.
Energy
Save both money AND the environment with a new home built with products and techniques that are remarkably efficient, and can help off-set high gas and energy prices.
Mortgage
Combine Oklahoma City's low cost of living with near-record low interest rates, and that means lower payments when you buy your next new home!
EXTRA! EXTRA!
OKLAHOMA HOME VALUES ON THE RISE!
With all the negative hype in the media about housing values falling around the country, it's no wonder many are skeptical about whether or not now is a good time to buy a new home. The fact is, in Oklahoma, the timing to buy a new home really has never been better. The Oklahoma City Metro is among the few markets in the country still enjoying consistent gains in home values, and mortgage rates are at near all time lows. Combine those factors with our strong job growth, a strong local economy, and low cost of living, and it's obvious that Oklahoma City is defying the national trends.

The Central Oklahoma Home Builders Associations wants you to know that the bad news about housing doesn't hold true to Oklahoma. Don't let the national media scare you out of the smartest move you can make.

DTT BLOG: No Crisis Here.
May 09, 2008 - Jim Schuff
We all know we’re in a housing and mortgage crisis, right? Well, not here in Oklahoma…we’re “Defying The Trends”.

Just look at the number of new homes you see being built every day. If we’re in a crisis would we still be building and selling like we are? No.

Despite the recent onslaught of negative news, you would probably agree with me that in most cases it is better to own than to rent. You would also probably agree that new homes are more efficient than older homes. With that in mind you need not look any further than Oklahoma to find some of the country’s most affordable real estate.
