Real Estate Virtual Assistant announces: Top of the Charts, Tulsa, OK Real Estate is Move-In Ready!

My Real Estate client that I have been working with since November 2006, brought to my attention this great news surrounding the nomination Tulsa OK got on one of Relocate-America's Top 100 lists. Please see below the post I created surrounding this information:

The renowned online research team at Relocate-America, has just announced it's "America's Top 100 Places to Live 2009" and Tulsa, OK hit the #1 spot!

Per Relocate-America's online description, this Top 100 list is nominated by each city's residents as "a great place to live", marked by information gathered about the neighborhoods, beauty of the area, school performance, recreational activities and economic growth. To be #1 on this list is definitely something to rave about!

Mike Neal, President and CEO of the Tulsa Metro Chamber, spoke highly of this finding too, stating that "our diversified industries, quality of life and cost of living" are what has made Tulsa, OK stay well above the competition nationwide.



Other star-studed accolades have been noted in recent days, in particular, Forbes magazine listed Tulsa as one of the best places in the nation to find a job. Ranking at #2 within the mid-sized cities category, the metro area took its honorary position in the financial magazine's "Best Cities for Job Growth" and also ranked 10th among all cities.

Living within the Tulsa, OK real estate area, has been a favored choice for many over the years, and with all these top nominations, it's easy to see why! Tulsa was also identified as the fifth best city to ride out the recession in the nation, per a study conducted by Forbes.com. It seems as though not only is the area full of positive places, but also teeming with happiness too!

Oklahoma City, OK, and Jenks, OK, also made Relocate-America's Top 100 Places to Live list this year. Tulsa was also on the list last year at position #5.

When it comes to the cost of Tulsa, OK real estate, the Greater Tulsa Association of Realtors stated that as of February 2009, the median price of a home was $125,000. Unlike the two coasts, home prices in Tulsa do not witness spikes and valleys (or craters as in some CA and FL home values!), but see more of a consistent even pace; Tulsa has actually seen an increase in home values over the past year or so.

In other noteworthy news, Bob Ball, the chamber's economic research manager, noted that "the cost of doing business in the Tulsa metropolitan area is nearly 14 percent below the U.S. average, and its cost of living is 11 percent below the U.S. average".

It's not surprising why more and more people choose Tulsa, OK real estate as their new place to call home every day. Come see for yourself!

With 25-rooms, including 10 bedrooms, 11 full bathrooms and 5 half baths, this two story English Country Manor designed mansion is located  on over one acre, consisting of three premier southeast deepwater lots of tropical specimen trees, lawns, and formal gardens set behind privacy gates and walls.  Stunning flagstone terraces, resort-style pool measuring 40’ x 20’, a grand entertainment loggia and approximately 296 feet of yacht dockage are brought together to gratify the privileged Boca Raton lifestyle.   This truly is  a tremendous property like no other.
