House Hunting

[GL00MY]

I recently got pre-approved for a home loan and will begin to look for houses soon. Now I was hoping to find a home in BA for under $180k, however that’s gonna be a stretch.
I’m interested in staying in near town due to wanting my child to go to good school districts and whatnot, plus my work is in BA.

Is there other nearby locations an OK native can recommend me to look at? My family has been in OK for 3 years, so we’re not as familiar with what towns are up and coming and which ones to stay away from.

Anyone got any advice, I’d like to hear as much as I can about it, thanks.

If you are looking in BA and don't mind older houses look in the Vandiver West area (101st and Aspen) People are nice and it is a good location. Many homes here at or near 180K.

I’ll be taking a drive around the area after work tomorrow to check it out, thank you.

One of my aunts lives in that area. Seems to be a fairly quiet neighborhood.

Best of luck in your search!

In the Tulsa area I'd look at Jenks and Bixby. Those are the better school districts. BA has kind of dropped in quality over the past 10 years.

A note about moving to a new area: I don't know where you're from originally, but vote against all school bonds. They raise your property taxes (mortgage and rent) and the schools get enough money now without bending you over for more. I assume since you're here that you're already voting Pro 2A.

I know absolutely nothing about home prices in just about any city, but we have friends that used to live in Coweta and worked in the BA area. Coweta is south and a bit east of BA along Highway 51.

I we t to the cit-data.conform and they have a lot of info on where one could live in OK away from crime, good friendly people etc. You might check that out.

Coweta is pretty close to Broken Arrow.

With interest rates going up, home sales are going down! If it's not a BUYERS market yet, it's getting close I think? Negotiate the asking price, you never know how bad they need, or want, to sell?
