edmond real estate: If You Could Live Anywhere, What Would it Look Like? - 11/21/11 05:41 PM
We all have to live somewhere. The reasons we chose our current home are as varied as we are. The house could have been chosen because there was a park across the street and the kiddos were still small enough to enjoy it. It may have been because we really liked the schools. It could have even been the only house available in the neighborhood your boss recommended when you relocated to Oklahoma City. Do you remember why you picked the house you're living in now? For us, it was all about the schools. We were ready to buy. But we … (2 comments)

edmond real estate: Edmond Oklahoma Real Estate Market Report for April 2011 - 05/04/11 09:01 AM
April was a whirlwind for me. How about you? It seems it was in Edmond real estate too. During April, 414 homeowners made the decision to list their house for sale. Among those 79 have already accepted offers and 9 have already closed on the sale. I imagine they would agree April was a whirlwind!Within the boundaries of Edmond Public Schools, 257 properties went under contract last month after an average of just 76 days on the market. Of those, 35 have already been to the closing table. At the time the contracts were accepted the average list price was $235,195 … (0 comments)

edmond real estate: Have You Considered Fallbrook in Edmond? - 04/26/11 04:49 PM
Spring is in the air in Edmond and that means Broker's Opens. Broker's open houses are a great opportunity for area REALTORs to tour several homes in a neighborhood while networking with other agents. If you are lucky, there is usually something yummy to eat and maybe even a drawing. Sure it's great to visit with friends and have lunch. But I like to use it as a chance for both you and me to learn about a neighborhood you may not have considered.Today I toured six homes in Fallbrook. Fallbrook is a relatively new addition in Edmond. You may have … (0 comments)

edmond real estate: Inheriting an Estate May Not be a Windfall - 04/07/11 08:54 AM
The most common reasons I have found that cause a homeowner to want to sell their home are that they are relocating to a new area for a job or that the house no longer meets their needs. However, on occasion someone finds themselves as a homeowner by default as result of an inheritance. After a loss they may be left to manage an estate.While many people have the impression that an inheritance like that is a windfall, in reality that can be a very difficult position to be in. Especially if you don't want to live there or become a property manager by … (2 comments)

edmond real estate: Turns Out the Gold Jackets are Optional! - 03/13/11 04:31 PM
According to my trusty and dusty Edmond Yellow Pages, circa 2008 (I was doing some spring cleaning and found the old relic in a cabinet) there were over 60 real estate companies listed in the Edmond area that year. In the past three years, more than a few have faded into the sunset (we won't name names). But that still leaves plenty of options for a Realtor looking to hang their license and open up shop in Edmond.You may not know this but unlike many other professions, a Realtor is an independent contractor and chooses which brokerage to represent. It's a bit like The Bachelor. … (5 comments)

edmond real estate: Edmond, Oklahoma Real Estate Market Report February 2011 - 03/01/11 09:50 AM
On a bright and sunny day like today, it's easy to forget the double whammy of back to back blizzards we had in Edmond just last month. During February, there were many days when business in Edmond seemed to stand still while many residents enjoyed extended snow days. You might be surprised to learn that real estate in our market continued to chug along despite the flurries.Even with the snow, Edmond REALTORs placed 302 signs in yards. 302 homes entered the real estate market with an average list price of $105.82/square foot. Of those 35 sellers have accepted offers after an … (0 comments)

edmond real estate: Buyer's Market? Not Everywhere! - 02/14/11 09:47 AM
As a buyer representative, the focus of my business is working with home buyers in Edmond and the Oklahoma City metro. I help them define what they are looking for, preview homes and negotiate offers. It can be a lengthy process and along the way we spend quite a bit of time together. During that time I do my best to explain the market conditions in the areas they are looking. I usually explain that before we write an offer, I will research the comps. Many clients assume that all homes are over priced. While I do my best to explain … (2 comments)

edmond real estate: I Love a Front Porch! - 01/15/11 11:08 AM
For several years we lived in North Carolina. That's where my infatuation with a large front porch began. In North Carolina a front porch is a common architectural element. I can just imagine spending a warm summer night sitting on the porch sipping something lovely while waving to the neighbors as they walk on by. Can you see it?
Well, if you are like me and have a love for a front porch, you will want to stop by and see me (and the porch) Sunday from 2-4 at 23601 Bella Vista Street in the Tuscany addition. It's near Sorghum Mill … (3 comments)

edmond real estate: Extraordinary Listings in Edmond, OK - 01/09/11 07:10 PM
Talk to any Edmond REALTOR and you'll hear the stats. They can tell you the average price per square foot, average days on market, or average list price. Most of the time real estate is all about the averages. But what about the extremes? The biggest, the smallest, the most expensive or the cheapest? Most of the time those listings get very little notice. They are anomalies. For fun, let's give these guys a moment in the spotlight.Size matters. The biggest home sold in Edmond during 2010 has 5 bedroom, 5 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, 5 living areas, and 2 dining … (0 comments)

edmond real estate: Holiday Decor Time Stamps Your Listing - 12/15/10 09:15 AM
There is a common misconception that real estate takes a break from Thanksgiving to New Years Day. The reality is that since Thanksgiving, 114 homeowners have listed their property for sale in Edmond (5 are already under contract and 2 of those new listings have even closed!) Most of these folks are cruising through the holidays just like any other year. The house is decorated, presents are being wrapped and cookies are being baked.Maybe you are one of those homeowners?

edmond real estate: BUY A HOUSE? That's Just Crazy! - 12/07/10 09:59 AM
Continue to rent or take the leap and buy. Renting an apartment or house has worked just fine so far, so why make a change? Besides, how could you ever afford to BUY A HOUSE? That's crazy talk! But people you love and trust keep telling you that interest rates are low and that you should buy a home. But what does that really mean?Let's say that right now you are spending $1200 a month to rent a house in Edmond or NW OKC. The money you spend on rent is an expense. You are not receiving any tax deductions or building any equity … (1 comments)

edmond real estate: Edmond Real Estate, We Need to Restock the Shelves - 12/01/10 12:36 PM
Inventory. Without it, we have no business. Last week was Black Friday and this week we had Cyber Monday, two of the biggest shopping days in the US. In the weeks and months leading to the big days, retailers were carefully calculating inventory levels to ensure that store shelves and distribution centers would be sufficiently stocked with this year's hot items. Blame my background in retail, but I'm always keeping an eye to our current supply levels in real estate. Especially this year's hot item.I like to know what this year's hot item is. So, today I have been carefully calculating the inventory levels … (0 comments)

edmond real estate: Cyber Monday, it's Not Just for Holiday Shopping! - 11/29/10 12:26 PM
It's Cyber Monday 2010! The day that we have all been waiting for. According to US Today, 107 million of us are expected to shop online today.

edmond real estate: An Empty Nest? Don't Fret! - 11/19/10 10:13 AM
We moved into our current home in Edmond as my youngest daughter entered kindergarten. It's location was perfect for our family with a park just down the street and a bus stop at the end of the driveway. It has been a haven for our family through sickness and health. While here, we have hosted birthday parties, frantically prepared for dance recitals, packed kiddos for overnight camps, and built volcanoes for the science fair. Sound familiar?We have been truly blessed. But now we are hosting graduation parties, preparing for proms and packing our oldest for college. Where did the time go? How do we … (2 comments)

While your thoughts of real estate may have mostly related to haunted houses during October, Edmond real estate chugged right along. We saw many new listings both big and small.
