A fun and cheap park for younger kids (probably best up to age 7 or 8). Some of the rides were so mild that even very young toddlers can ride them safely. No admission charge and ride tickets are 25 cents -- almost all rides are just one ticket, so you can have a lot of fun for only a few bucks. At least last year, concessions were good "fair fare" and cheap -- $1 cotton candy, 75 cents snowcones, etc. A few things adults could ride, plenty of benches to sit on and watch the kids. There also were wandering clowns, face painting, etc. Good old-fashioned summer fun!

Closed Sundays, Mondays & the 4th of July. If you want to make it the quintessential summer date -- go early enough to stop at the Bartlesville Sonic on the way -- you pass it on your way to the Park, and it's the only Sonic I've seen with a big outdoor playground.

It is located at 215 N. Cherokee Ave. in Johnstone Park. For info or directions, go to http://kiddiepark. net/ .

It was a pretty typical April weekend, teasing us with pretty weather and then turning cold again.  Hopefully we have some nice Spring weather coming soon.

The Real Estate market in the Tulsa area seems to be warming with the weather.  We are seeing more Buyer and Seller activity in most price ranges.  Our first time home buyer price ranges are getting the most activity.  With interest rates at record lows and the $8,000 Federal incentive, there has rarely been a better time to buy.  If you are thinking of buying a home or if you are a move up or move down buyer, don’t wait.  If you are going to take advantage of these interest rates or the incentive, you need to do it NOW. 

Have a Great week and a Happy Easter!

THIS WEEKS HOT HOME LISTING!

Mortgage interest rates have contiuned to be low and we may see another reduction in the near future. 

THIS WEEKS HOT HOME LISTING!

A January update by the The National Association of REALTORS (NAR) reported increased market activity with an unexpected surge in existing-home sales. Existing home sales — including single-family, condos, co-ops and townhomes — were up 6.5 percent, raising sales volume to 4.74 million units, up from the 4.45 million unit projection from the previous month.

 Hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend.  It felt like spring, even if only for a few days.

In an effort to jump-start the national housing market , Senator Johnny Isakson, sponsored an amendment to the economic stimulus package that is making its way through Congress.  Wednesday the U.S. Senate approved an amendment that will give a $15,000 tax credit (10% of the sales price up to $15,000) to anyone who buys a home as their primary residence and would be in effect for one year after the stimulus bill is signed into law. According to Isakson, this tax credit is patterned after a 1975 tax credit that assisted in jump-starting the depressed economy and the effects continued long after the measure expired.  To view the case study click here. Passage of this Bill by both the House and the Senate would be a good step at ending the nation’s housing market slump.

Housing has always lifted our economy out of past economic downturns.  Help get the national housing market moving now so that the economy can recover. 

While the final details of the Stimulus Package are still being debated, I strongly urge anyone who is passionate about turning our country's housing industry around to call or e-mail your Senators and Representatives and urge quick passage of this Act.

Have a Great Week!

HOT HOME LISTING OF THE WEEK!

I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend after the ugly ice storm last week.  It looks like more of the same in the near future.

Mortgage interest rates increased slightly last week. This is a continuation of the interest rate roller coaster ride that we have been on for months.  My opinion is that rates will decline again in the near future.  Even though mortgage interest rates remain very attractive at just over 5% for thirty year fixed financing, the slight increase makes it harder for many to purchase a home.  This is a stark reminder that a 1% raise in mortgage interest rates can drop a prospective buyer's price range 10%.  There will be a time in the not so distant future when the mortgage rates take a turn upwards and don't head back down again.  It is for this reason that I continually repeat the fact that we have the opportunity of a lifetime right now with low financing rates and low home prices.  If you are on the fence about purchasing a home, I would suggest that you think about this scenario long and hard.

Have a good week!

Sincerely,
Deborah Green

Now for your Morning Coffee!

 I hope everyone enjoyed the relatively mild weekend.  Cold morning and warm afternoons are very enjoyable this time of year!

The month of December 2008 Real Estate market statistics are in for the Tulsa area.  Average time of the market for a single family home was 56 days.  Overall home sales for 2008 were down 11%,  Also, not that there were 3% less homes listed for sale in 2008 as compared to 2007.  But our average sales price increased 1%. I am including a breakdown of these numbers for the majority of the Tulsa area. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  For home buyers this is the perfect market with mortgage interest rates remaining under 5% for 30 year fixed conventional loans.

THIS WEEKS HOT LISTING!
