From the monthly archives: "July 2015"

The real estate market is hot in Midtown Tulsa. In fact, you can safely say we are in a seller’s market. What exactly does that mean?

A six-month supply of homes is considered to be a stable market; seven or more is considered to be a buyers’ market; and below six months is considered to be a seller’s market.

Where is Midtown Tulsa? For our purpose, let’s define Midtown very broadly from Downtown to Sheridan and from I-244 south to I-44. That gives us a polygon like the one found at http://midtowntulsarealestate.net/search-mls-for-property-in-midtown-tulsa/. This includes homes of every size at every price point.

When we look at Midtown for the past three months there is a 2.7-month supply of single-family houses.

The market has actually sped up. Over the past two years the market has had a 3.2-month supply of homes. If no other homes were to enter the market, it would only take 3 months to sell every house that is for sale.

However, not every house sells. There are only a certain number of houses that are going to sell in any given market in any period.

Some homes fail to sell. When new inventory arrives they don’t have a chance because they lose the beauty contest or are overpriced.

Buyers are constantly shopping for the best value their money can buy. The best homes in the market are shown immediately and multiple offers are frequently being made on the cream puffs at the best price for their floor plan and location. These homes sell fast.

Is your price compelling? Even in a seller’s market, it is the buyers who are the experts with regard to which homes sell. They know quickly whether a home is priced right.

Your real estate advisor can help you position your home to win the beauty contest and be the best value for the money. If your home doesn’t sell quickly, it may be overpriced and in need of a price adjustment.
What are the odds of your home selling in the next 90 days?

On average, of the 328 homes currently on the market in Midtown Tulsa, there is a 38% chance of selling within 90 days. However, the odds of selling vary among price points from neighborhood to neighborhood.

As a seller, you cannot change the location of your home or its floor plan. However, you can change your home’s condition and its position in the market. You are in control.
