I never tire of hearing ‘Oklahoma is #1′ and it’s quite satisfying when compared to major coastal markets like Southern California, Seattle, and Florida.  This time though, we’re not talking college football, but instead it’s a reference to the old classic tale of the tortoise and the hare.

More solid statistical data was just published - this time straight from the government - showing that the real estate market in Oklahoma leads the country in appreciation, as a result of our slow and steady pace as opposed to fast, unsustainable spikes in home values.

Keep getting the word out, Okies.  People everywhere are finally taking notice!
