Oklahoma City and Tulsa remain among the nation’s Top 25 strongest housing markets despite the slowdown and recent price weakening, Forbes.com said this week.
It’s good news when, as the business new Web site reported, “not one metro area will see prices increase before the end of this year.” Forbes projected home values to drop 1.1 percent in Tulsa and 2.8 percent in Oklahoma City this year.
It’s the second time in less than a year Forbes.com has spotlighted Oklahoma for economic strength. In May, Forbes called Oklahoma City the most “recession-proof” city in the country, based on its relatively sturdy housing and energy sectors. |
