We've been saying it all along. But now, we don't have to...others are saying it for us.

I am presently at my Builder 20 meeting for NAHB in Washington DC. The economist for NAHB gave us a detailed city specific analysis yesterda. While the nation as a whole is in a terrible real estate downturn, there are markets that have bottomed and are set to rise. He was emphatic that OKC is one of those markets ready for take off.
See the slides below for his reasoning.
The main reasons are steady appreciation in real estate, minimal exposure to the subprime mortgage mess, inventory of existing and new homes for sale coming to a 6 month balance and good job growth. He sees new home starts turning up in OKC by the end of the second quarter 2008.
Caleb McCaleb is a builder, developer, and owner of McCaleb Homes. He is a COHBA Past-President and was the 2007 COHBA Builder Of the Year. He appears in the "Economy" video for the Defy The Trends campaign.
