I’m always looking for newsworthy items to talk about when I’m with clients and other Realtors. I was excited when I read this in today’s Tulsa World Business section! The front page headline read…..“Tulsa home sales up from last year” To paraphrase the World staff writer, Robert Evatt, 3,127 home sales have been recorded through April 30 and is up 3% compared to the same time period last year.
Could this be the result of the recent stimulus package that enabled first time , and move up home buyers a tax credit? Probably. It could be a combination of the US slowly emerging from the recession that began in 2007 and the tax credit. The months ahead will tell the whole story as the real estate industry begins to stand on its own two legs!
