Although Oklahoma City is still suffering from high numbers of government, bank and FHA foreclosures, most observers believe that the area's housing market is on an upswing. Several industry-related events will be held in the city within the year and builders are preparing for these events by building show houses to be exhibited to the public.
Foreclosed homes for sale in Oklahoma City, OK remain plenty, but the city's residential market is in a far better position than most metro areas in the U.S. To demonstrate the improving status of the residential real estate market, the Builders Association of South Central Oklahoma will be holding the Festival of Homes starting on the last week of August.
In the midst of Oklahoma foreclosed homes, several builders will open to the public around 17 new dwellings in areas like Moore, Newcastle, Norman and Noble. Members of the association revealed that the home buying slowdown during the second quarter was primarily due to pulling some activities forward in an effort to accommodate the tax credit expiration.
However, most market analysts are predicting that the rest of 2010 will see government, bank and FHA foreclosures diminishing in numbers and the general housing market getting back on its feet. Analysts believe that the combination of rising employment rates, strengthening house prices, improved general economy and low mortgage loan rates will help propel the housing market towards a recovery.
Meanwhile, the Southwest Home Builders Association, along with Moore Home Builders Association, will have its own event called the Southwest Showcase of Homes to be held in September. For this event, around 50 new dwellings will be built and will be added to the local housing market alongside properties under foreclosure houses listings.
The third event before the year ends will be held in October. The Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association-organized event, titled the Parade of Homes, will highlight over 120 dwellings and will also highlight neighborhoods, not just residential properties. Among the participating neighborhoods are Stone Mill, Canyon Lakes and Fairfax Golf and Residential Community.
Real estate market analysts believe that the three events will help bring attention to the recovering home industry of Oklahoma City despite the continuous existence of bank and FHA foreclosures concerns.
