Is NOW a good time to buy a Tulsa home for sale?
Whether or not NOW is a good time to buy a Tulsa home for sale is probably the question Tulsa Realtors are most often asked. My answer to this question is unequivocally, “YES!”
John Paulson was quoted this past fall, “If you don’t own a home, buy one. If you own a home, buy another one. And if you own two homes, buy a third and lend your relatives the money to buy a home.”
Interest rates are still at an all time low. As of this writing, interest rates are still below 5%, and I have midtown Tulsa home buyers closing tomorrow on their Tulsa home for sale that locked in under 4%. Compared to a 7% or 8% interest rate, do you realize how much MORE of a Tulsa home for sale you can afford with these historically low rates?
The inventory of Tulsa homes for sale is high, so a Buyer has much from which to choose. Regardless of price range, a Buyer will have a significant number of choices depending on search criteria.

What is your next step? Call a Lender. Call a LOCAL Lender and find out the amount for which you can qualify to purchase a Tulsa home for sale. Is the area in which you are searching eligible for Rural Development financing which requires ZERO down-payment (parts of Owasso are, for example!)? Are you a first-time home buyer eligible for state bond money which will pay your required 3.5% down payment? Are special programs available to home buyers based on your occupation? You won’t know the answers to these questions until you call a Lender.
