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 second quarter of 2007, (April, May, June), the Lawton MLS reported 498 Homes sold with an average price per Home of $117,273.


Here is a Breakdown of each of the three months within the second quarter of 2007:

April
165 Homes Sold - Average Price / Home $113,309.

 May
163 Homes Sold - Average Price / Home $117,956.

June
170 Homes Sold - Average Price / Home $120,553.


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 second quarter of 2006, (April, May, June), the Lawton MLS reported 437 Homes sold with an average price per Home of $113,691.

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

April
122 Homes Sold - Average Price / Home $107,464.

May
161 Homes Sold - Average Price / Home $117,331.

June
154 Homes Sold - Average Price / Home $116,279.

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.

Hello Frank,

You are definitely correct in your assumption. Lawton - Fort Sill has changed dramatically since 1984. In fact, Lawton has drastically changed just in the last few years. The city of Lawton has financed many ventures in order to improve the public roads, the public institutions, and the atmosphere within the city. Fort Sill has also grown tremendously. There is a strong possibility that two brigades of troops (One Brigade of troops will certainly be arriving in Fort Sill, Oklahoma) will be arriving in our town over the next year to year and a half. The BRAC realignment will increase the population of our city tremendously, bringing new jobs, new citizens, and new ideas to our city. As you can see in my real estate market report, the housing market is increasing in value - it is a daily increase.

We are also proud to have a professional basketball team call Lawton, Oklahoma home. The Oklahoma Cavalry will begin their season in about two months. We, as a city, are very excited.
