More Proof of the Tortoise Smoking the Hare

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.

July Home Sales Up – But Barely

The List We Missed

Most times I love it when our beautiful city of Edmond makes the list, and I’m sometimes disappointed when we don’t. Today’s not one of those days. To my surprise, we didn’t make Forbes’ list of most expensive states to insure a home. With the pre-conceived opinions many have, that our state suffers tornado damage […]

Poor Okies? Think Again…

A common stereotype is that wages in Oklahoma are low, and that supposedly washes out our lower cost of living.  However, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis’ recent report shows that the Oklahoma City metro area boasts an above-average income level… again showing that disposable income is a reality here in our great state.

Progress is always nice, but seeing progress in this direction is just plain exciting!  According to the latest ACCRA Cost of Living Index by C2ER, Edmond Oklahoma’s cost of living is not only lower than the national average, it’s actually lower than it was this time last year.
