It's Back!!

About a year ago, Coldwell Banker RaderGroup Realtors discontinued publication of The Real Estate Buyer’s Guide, our exclusive magazine which advertised all of our homes for sale in every issue. Since that time, we’ve had many sellers, buyers and Realtors tell us they missed seeing the Buyer’s Guide. In addition, as the year went along, customer response from newspaper and other mediums seemed to diminish to levels well below what we had enjoyed with our Buyer’s Guide.
So, beginning this month our exclusive Real Estate Buyer’s Guide magazine will be published every 4-5 weeks and be distributed to hundreds of locations throughout the Tulsa metropolitan area. Just as before, it will contain an ad on every one of our active listings, most with a color picture and written description of the home. New features will include Previews, Residential, New Construction, Rural and Ranch, and Land/Investor/Starter Homes sections. Furthermore, our publishing turnaround times have been reduced from weeks to days.
If you are thinking of selling your home, put this powerful advertising tool to work for you. Contact me at slaunchbaugh@cbtulsa.com to get your home featured in our next issue – and every issue until it sells!

Good Thing You’re in Tulsa!

“Home sales may be down in other markets. Good thing you’re in Tulsa” (Broken Arrow, etc.). The Greater Tulsa Association of Realtors, in conjunction with Oklahoma Association of Realtors and other sectors of the housing industry, is sponsoring the “Good Thing You’re in Tulsa” Campaign. It is designed to remind consumers that the housing market in Tulsa and Oklahoma is much better than the doom and gloom we are hearing from the national media on a daily basis.
For example, As of September 30, 2007, the number of homes SOLD in the greater Tulsa metropolitan area was only 3.3% below the record pace of 2006. Furthermore, both the year to date average price ($155,498) and median price ($127,000) were up 6.7% and 5.6% respectively. Note: This would be a good place to insert some home sales and price comparisons for your farm area or community.
