Edmond Oklahoma Real Estate

I’ve got some hardcore analysis coming in a few days, but if you haven’t seen the latest real estate sales statistics for the OKC Metro, you should take a look . At first glance, here are the things that jump out at me most: The obvious one; home sales are up 22% over this time last year Average sales price is down almost 8.5% over this time last year We’re down to almost a 5-month inventory (guess when that last happened) How’d you like to see an analysis of sales broken down...

I posted a while back about Edmond’s ranking among Money Magazine’s Top 100 Best Places to Live , but after a friend brought the list to my attention again over the weekend, I took a deeper look at some of the statistical information that went into why Edmond made the list . I found a few things, in particular, interesting because they’re defiant of so many of the stereotypes that we ‘Okies’ get stuck with: While Edmond ranked well above state averages in both reading and math testing...

You may remember all the buzz in October and November about Edmond’s proposed Public Safety Center .  It seemed at the time that most of the opposition to this proposal lied in how the project would be funded, therefore it failed in grand fashion when it was put to a vote on November 4th . However, according to a recent article published by the Edmond Sun , there’s still plenty of opposition to the project .  I’m still not hearing anyone say that we don’t need the new Public Safety Center...

Way back when I moved from OKC to Edmond, there was only one motivating factor… getting my kids into one of the top public school districts in Oklahoma.

Each time I witness a fire, flood, or any other devastation to property, it gets me thinking about my insurance coverage, and with the high-profile media coverage of yesterdays (and today’s) fire at the Enclave at Covell Village, I would guess there are many more folks thinking about the same thing. Thankfully, this complex is under construction and unoccupied, but the fire could have easily spread into the adjoining neighborhood, as well as the neighborhoods and middle school north of it...
