Location Characteristics: Lawton Fort Sill is located at the base of the historic Wichita Mountains in Southwest Oklahoma. Lawton has become the home of world-class manufacturing, and software development companies that serve both domestic and international markets.

Since its days as a frontier Army outpost established in 1869 to guard the western edge of the Great Plains, progress has come quickly to Lawton. From Buffalo Soldiers to the world's largest tire plant; from Indian Chief Geronimo to cutting edge, software development, Lawton Fort Sill has become the economic hub of Southwest Oklahoma and beyond.

A vibrant city of almost 100,000, Lawton offers virtually every business and cultural amenity of a major market without big-city problems. Lawton is Oklahoma's third largest MSA with a workforce of over 110,000 from seven contiguous counties.

Lawton's public education system can take a student form pre-Kindergarten at Lawton Public Schools through postgraduate work at Cameron University. Add to this the Great Plains Technology Center, part of an Oklahoma system that is considered by many educators to be the premier workforce training program in the nation.

Culturally, we are particularly proud. Our ballet company, theater, museums, fine arts programs galleries, and wildlife refuge have resulted in Lawton becoming the cultural jewel of the plains. Lawton and Comanche County are home to several significant multi-cultural events each year.

The Wichita Wildlife Refuge, a national wildlife refuge center, is one of the oldest ranges on earth and serves as a reminder of our southwestern past. Each year millions of visitors enjoy the refuge's picturesque views and ecosystem, as well as numerous activities such as rock climbing, trail hiking, boating, fishing, camping, and swimming.

Located at the main entry to the refuge is the town Medicine Park. Medicine Park, a former tourism resort, became a playground for all Oklahomans, rich, famous, and notorious, in the early 20th century. As Medicine Park heads into the 21st century, it continues to experience an economic growth while retaining its history and charm

Our success has not gone unnoticed. Expansion Management Magazine has named Lawton one of America's "Hottest 50 Cities" for business development and expansion in 2002. This recognition was fueled by the recent private investment of over $600 million dollars in new construction and expansion.

Lawton - Fort Sill Oklahoma Real Estate Update

The Time Is Now!

Lawton - Fort Sill is growing. The Housing Market in our great city will continue to rise in value.

There are many factors contributing to the positive growth we are experiencing in our community. However, the primary reason is Supply and Demand. A Brigade of troops will arrive in Lawton - Fort Sill within the next few years. The roads are expanding. New commercial industry is arriving in our town. We are growing and we will continue to grow. The prices of homes have been increasing at a steady rate in our community for many years. However, the housing market will rise much more than usual as the supply of homes becomes less than the great demand we will have.

New construction is ever increasing in Lawton and surrounding towns such as Cache, Elgin, and Geronimo. The price of New Construction has and will continue to increase, just as the prices of Existing Homes have and will continue to increase.

Over the past year, the talk of growth in our community has been heard. Now, the sound is loud, and it is growing in strength and intensity.

In the first quarter of 2007, from January to March, 386 Homes Sold, as reported by the Lawton MLS. The average price of each sold home was $102, 932.

Here is a breakdown of the first three months of 2007:

January
115 Homes Sold - Average Price / Home $102,678.

February
130 Homes Sold - Average Price / Home $94,055.

March
141 Homes Sold - Average Price / Home $112,064.

Lawton - Fort Sill is a strong market for Home Buyers and Home Sellers. Some people try to differentiate between a buyer's market and a seller's market. Lawton - Fort Sill houses a large artillery base that will grow tremendously over the next few years. Homes are and will continue to be a necessity for our current and future residents. I would rather refer to the market as a strong Housing Market. The demand of homes will continue to increase and the supply of homes will continue to decrease.

In the first quarter of 2006, (January, February, March), the Lawton MLS reported 362 Homes sold with an average price per Home of $102,349.

Here is a breakdown of each of the three months within the first quarter of 2006:

For more detailed information about a specific neighborhood or a specific area of Lawton - Fort Sill or a nearby city, please feel free to contact me. I will be more than happy to put together a customized sales report for you.

In closing, I would like to provide you with an insider's tip. Always make an informed decision. Whether you are buying or selling a home, be sure that you allow yourself the opportunity to make your proper decision.

In my next market report, I will highlight the second quarter of Lawton Fort Sill's Hot Housing Market. 2007 is going to be a wonderful year for our city.

Location Characteristics: Lawton Fort Sill is located at the base of the historic Wichita Mountains in Southwest Oklahoma. Lawton has become the home of world-class manufacturing, and software development companies that serve both domestic and international markets.

Since its days as a frontier Army outpost established in 1869 to guard the western edge of the Great Plains, progress has come quickly to Lawton. From Buffalo Soldiers to the world's largest tire plant; from Indian Chief Geronimo to cutting edge, software development, Lawton Fort Sill has become the economic hub of Southwest Oklahoma and beyond.

A vibrant city of almost 100,000, Lawton offers virtually every business and cultural amenity of a major market without big-city problems. Lawton is Oklahoma's third largest MSA with a workforce of over 110,000 from seven contiguous counties.

Lawton's public education system can take a student form pre-Kindergarten at Lawton Public Schools through postgraduate work at Cameron University. Add to this the Great Plains Technology Center, part of an Oklahoma system that is considered by many educators to be the premier workforce training program in the nation.

Culturally, we are particularly proud. Our ballet company, theater, museums, fine arts programs galleries, and wildlife refuge have resulted in Lawton becoming the cultural jewel of the plains. Lawton and Comanche County are home to several significant multi-cultural events each year.

The Wichita Wildlife Refuge, a national wildlife refuge center, is one of the oldest ranges on earth and serves as a reminder of our southwestern past. Each year millions of visitors enjoy the refuge's picturesque views and ecosystem, as well as numerous activities such as rock climbing, trail hiking, boating, fishing, camping, and swimming.

Located at the main entry to the refuge is the town Medicine Park. Medicine Park, a former tourism resort, became a playground for all Oklahomans, rich, famous, and notorious, in the early 20th century. As Medicine Park heads into the 21st century, it continues to experience an economic growth while retaining its history and charm

Our success has not gone unnoticed. Expansion Management Magazine has named Lawton one of America's "Hottest 50 Cities" for business development and expansion in 2002. This recognition was fueled by the recent private investment of over $600 million dollars in new construction and expansion.

About PCSAMERICA.NET

Mission Statement

Our Mission is to provide an Online Military Relocation Network that delivers a military installation's community at the "grass root level" for interaction while remaining very simplistic in the network design and navigation. We understand that PCS America users are focused and need to conduct research, make required contacts, and complete the PCS process for the next duty station. Making the required information available without visual interruption or distraction is a top priority for PCS America.

History

PCS America was created in March 2002 by two successful companies that simply identified a need within the military community for a detailed and targeted Relocation Network. By August 2002, PCS America was supplying military Housing Offices, both in the United States and Overseas, with online tools to supplement their current relocation information & resources. PCS America has supplied the Housing Offices since 2003 with monthly PCS Books (binders filled with local real estate magazines from many US installations) and PCS Brochures to provide personnel with awareness of the online PCS America resource.

In 2004 PCS America began supplying Family Service Centers, Family Support Offices, and Relocation Offices with the same resources as Housing. PCS America continues to advance the Network daily and connects you with the hard to find resources available online.

The PCS Network

PCS America is a very targeted Relocation Network for the United States military community including active members, Guard and Reserve, the DoD civilian workforce, retirees, veterans, and their families. Over 200 US military installations and their local communities are linked in the network, plus nearly 100 Overseas installations.

No need to bookmark dozens of pages or use a search engine to randomly research a military installation's community, just remember one web site name... pcsamerica.net

The focus is to create a "One Stop" Network that delivers specific military relocation information.

PCS America is at no cost to the military or government and there is no cost for accessing it daily.

Please share with us your thoughts on how we can improve on the Relocation Network. Contact Us.

The second site, relocate-america, contains relevant information for Lawton and surrounding cities, such as Fort Sill, Cache, Elgin, Fletcher, and Medicine Park. Be sure to bookmark this site, as the information will be continually updated.
