“I’m waiting for the market to crash.”

Sound familiar? I hear this all the time. And here’s the truth: Tulsa’s market moves, sure—but a crash? Rare.

If it did happen, here’s what you might see:

Inventory drops

Sellers pull listings to avoid losing equity

Multiple-offer wars return, and buyers end up paying more than the home’s value

But here’s what does happen consistently: home values grow over time.

From 2020–2023, Tulsa saw 3 years of growth that normally takes a decade. And if you bought a median home in 2016? You’re likely sitting on $120K+ in equity today. That’s 10 years of mortgage payments turning into wealth.

Here’s the secret: don’t wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate… and then wait.

And what can you do with that equity? Plenty:

Update your current home

Buy your first investment property

Pay off debt

Upgrade to your next home without breaking the bank

Equity is power—but only if you use it.

Want to see how your next move can make total sense? Let’s chat—I’ll show you the strategy.

Real Estate is about a lot more than the pretty homes and big sales.

This seller came from a REALLY old Facebook lead from when I was pushing out a ton of content on my business page and running ads like crazy. We stayed in touch, but there wasn't a lot of motion there. Fast forward a few years, and they reached out to ask me on New Years Eve to help navigate the next steps to sell this home and close that chapter. As you can tell, it was in need of some help.

I went out and took a look at the house a couple days later, came up with a pricing strategy and a marketing plan. We agreed to have me take the listing live and get it on the market.

Turn around, less than 24 hours later and took a sign call from an investor looking for their next project. We met at the property walked through it and they were ready to offer right away.

Quick turn around with title and we had both parties closed before month end!

Its always rewarding to help people navigate the home buying and selling process. Especially when you are able to bring buyer and seller together to create a win for everyone involved!

Come check out these awesome open houses I will be at this weekend!
