| Top Five Reasons Oklahoma Might Elect A Democrat | | 2008-08-19 12:52:29 | | Up until yesterday, I'd written off hopes for a Democratic Senator from Oklahoma as pipe dreams. Then a credible poll broke that showed Andrew Rice trailing Jim Inhofe by single digits! SINGLE DIGITS! I'm thinking it just might actually happen this year. Here's why:
1) Inhofe's approval ratings are plunging. Incumbents with approval numbers above 50% are generally considered safe, while those... | | By: Poli-Think | | |

| | Gamer JohnTyler Hammons Oklahoma town Mayor - The youngest | | 2008-05-29 03:37:00 | | John Tyler Hammons is only 19 Years Old teenager. Like any red-blooded American teenager, John Tyler Hammons digs rock music, fast cars, video games and...fiscal planning?Apparently so. The AP reports that the University of Oklahoma freshman trounced 70 year-old Hershel McBride to become the mayor of Muskogee, Oklahoma, making it the first city in the nation to be governed by a self-admitted gamer. But while he could own any of his peers at Halo 3, the fresh-faced leader is turning his sights on cleaning up the town's politics by establishing an independent ethics commission and locking down campaign finance reporting."I'm sure the (city) council will work with me on these issues," he said. "I campaigned on this, and this is something I intend to push."Tired of the same old political shenanigans, the townsfolk are backing their new man."He doesn't have the baggage. He doesn't owe anybody anything," said cafe owner Gary Armstrong. "It's sort of a fresh start for Muskogee."Best known as... | | By: What's Up | | |
| | Oklahoma Economy and Real Estate Market | | 2008-05-02 17:32:16 | | It's not bad everywhereI read the Tulsa World every morning before starting my day. I usually find something interesting. The past couple of days there have been articles on unemployment in Oklahoma being under 3.5%. This is as good as I have seen in my life time.Another article tells of the medium home price in Tulsa area being up about $5000 over last year. This goes along with what we are seeing in the Grand Lake market.We know there is gloom and doom in many states, but Oklahoma is alive and well. Now might be a good time to invest in Oklahoma real estate and Grove, Oklahoma and the Grand Lake area is the place to be. Invest in something you can enjoy. The waters of Grand Lake offer great fishing, boating, sea-dooing, and sailing. It's great to lay in a hammock under a nice shade tree and enjoy an afternoon reading a book too. Our market is good but not robust, primarily due to all the national press on the bad real estate market in areas such as Florida and Californ... | | By: Grand Lake OK Real Estate and News | | |
| | Oklahoma Real Estate Market Update | | 2008-04-24 10:04:25 | | Comments on April 2008 Housing MarketI am sure that you, like I, have read numerous articles on the death of the home market. It is true that in certain states such as California, Arizona, Nevade, and Florida that home sales have been down both in number of homes sold and the price of the sale. All states are not the same however.This morning I read an interesting article in The Tulsa World newspaper by Al Unser, CEO of Greater Tulsa Association of Realtors. Yes, he is associated with the industry, but who knows better than someone in the business the state of the business. You need to go to tulsaworld.com and read his article on April 24, 2008 in the business section, page 24.The author points out you would not listen to the weather forecast on the east coast to know the weather in the midwest nor should you look at the housing forecast on either coast to know the market in the midwest and in particular, Oklahoma. Tulsa home sales prices were up 5.2% in 2007. The economy in Oklahoma i... | | By: Grand Lake OK Real Estate and News | | |
| | Grand Lake in Oklahoma Spring Conditions | | 2008-04-21 16:49:58 | | Update on Grand Lake Real Estate and WeatherThe weather has been cool and very wet. The lake level is high. Does not sound like fun but things are changing. The lake level is slowing going down towards normal.

| | Here Come the Oklahoma Sooners | | 2007-09-22 11:23:43 | | College FootballBefore the 2007 college football season started, not many gave Oklahoma a chance to win the national title. Talk about a team that seemingly rose from the ashes, this time last year the Sooners were seemingly on the downturn. Their blue chip quarterback Rhett Bomar was shockingly dismissed from the team, who, by the way has himself risen from the ashes, surfacing this year at Sam Houston State. The Sooners fought hard all year without a quality quarterback, they lost a game due to poor officiating against Oregon, but still managed to land a New Years Day bowl game (Fiesta Bowl), only to lose that game in a heartbreaking overtime defeat to Boise State (on a trick play). They then lost their star running back, Adrian Peterson to the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL Draft. So the Sooners entered the 2007 season with a possible New Years hangover, still no proven quarterback and a junior college transfer starting at left tackle.We have to give credit to Coach Bob Stoops, in his eighth year as head coach he has a combined record of 87-19, which is the second most wins by any Division 1-A school and the best record of any BCS school during that period. He led the Sooners to the 2000 BCS National Championship and finished the season undefeated. That year (2000) Stoop's Sooners weren't even ranked in the Top 20 in the pre-season. He has led his team to eight straight bowl games, with five being BCS Bowls.Bob Stoops masterfully put together the 2007 team with brilliant recruiting, throw in a few key junior college transfers and a tough as nails spring training and this Sooner team looks to compete for a National Title and is already one of the Top Ranked Teams in College Football. The Sooners are 4-0 and have scored 50 or more points against every opponent. So let's look at some of the key players. It has to start with redshirt freshman quarterback Sam Bradford, his early rise to national stardom has given the Sooner nation hope for this year and the future. ... | | By: The NFL Draft Site | | |

Newport Village, Brighton Bay, Shangri La Estates, and Beacon Hill are nice gated communities on Monkey Island with excellent offerings. Individual waterfront homes in the Ketchum/Langley area are nice and you can get more for your money with alittle drive to the Zena area of Grand Lake.Whatever your desire in a home--full time, retirement home, or that second lake home we have several nice listings to choose from.

| | Grand Lake In Oklahoma Development | | 2007-09-05 21:38:02 | | New projects on Grand LakeYou can read stories every day about the gloom and doom areas of real estate mostly in Florida, California or other areas of the country that had huge price appreciation in a very short time.Grand Lake in Oklahoma did not experience the very rapid growth of other areas but has seen a good steady price increase that is holding. One measurement of real estate is the amount of developers looking at the area or doing projects. The depressed area markets have seen development interest stop. On Grand Lake we have calls every little while from developers looking for their next project. I see activity on the multi-list that other real estate offices are also seeing action from developers. The Peninsula on Monkey Island is one such development in the pre-sale stage of their condo project. Crowne Pointe on Monkey Island is also pre-selling a condo project with phase 1 recently sold out. Two homes in the million dollar range were sold recently in The Points, a gated upscale lakefront community on Grand Lake. This weekend a home came on the market in Buffalo Shores South in Grove, OK on the water for $699,000, it sold in two days. We see action such as this quite often. True, all homes do not sell this quick but nice homes priced right do not sit very long. Woodard Pointe Estates, a small develpment with terrific waterfront views is down to two lots.Grove, Oklahoma on the north end of Grand Lake to Langley on the south end of the lake has seen good homes sales. A new development just sold to a new group last week that will have about 30+ lots in a great area east of Ketchum. Opportunities abound for developers and home buyers on Grand Lake in Northeast Oklahoma. If you are looking for that retirement home, second home, or just a lake home retreat Grand Lake is a great place to own property. Call Aaron at 918 801-5645 or Joe at 918 640-3300 for information on Grand Lake opportunities.See AlsoGrand Lake OK HomesFind your lake home here... | | By: Grand Lake OK Real Estate and News | | |

The Peninsula sports two 18 hole golf courses and is surrounded by Grand Lake. Fine dining and shopping are other nice features of Monkey Island. We offer many nice homes in the area for sale.The only problem on the island is finding a great home at an affordable price if you don't want to invest your entire fortune here. New homes usually sell for $300,000 and up and many have homeowners association dues to pay. I have noticed this and tried to find a solution and think that I have.

| | Foreclosures are down in Oklahoma | | 2007-08-16 01:34:19 | | Real Estate Foreclosures are up in parts of the U.S. but not in OklahomaThe national press reports problems with home foreclosures everyday. It is enough to get one to thinking the sky is falling. Yes if you live in California or Florida or some of the areas of the country that saw home prices go up a $100,000 per year of more and you financed with an adjustable rate mortgage you can be in trouble. Anything that goes straight up has to have a correction one day and is in California and Florida and other areas of the country today. With home values lower today in these areas it is increasing hard to get the adjustable rate mortgages refinanced. With fixed rates higher than the teaser adjustable rates many people are finding themselvas in trouble.Oklahoma and many of the midwest states have been isolated to this deflation of home values because their values did not go up as fast. Most loans in the midwest have been at fixed rates also.The Tulsa World newspaper in the August 15, 2007... | | By: Grand Lake OK Real Estate and News | | |
| | Real Estate Market on Grand Lake in Oklahoma | | 2007-08-10 22:21:26 | | Grand Lake/Grove, OK real estate prices and number of sales are above last yearYou can drown in sad stories of busted real estate markets in the national press. If you really examine the real estate market you will find the depressed areas had unrealistic markets that had double digit price increases for several years with some markets increasing as much as 30% or more in one year. We all know these markets cannot go up for ever. All markets be it oil, coal, wheat, or cattle can only go up at robust figures so long before a price correction. I feel this is what is happening on the national markets.The market at Grand Lake/Grove, Oklahoma in the northeast corner of the state has had nice price growth the past five years but certainly not robust double digit increases per year. Our market this year is slightly ahead of last years pace in both price and number of sales. We have to work for a sale, but that is what we are paid to do.One well estiblished agent in our market just put up unde... | | By: Grand Lake OK Real Estate and News | | |

The current owner was looking at homes with me when he bought this outstanding condo and was in the process of telling me he wanted to look at only free standing homes and no condos as I was about to exit highway 125 to pull into Port Duncan, the setting of this lakefront condo. I immediately told Ron that I would turn around and head to the next listing, a free standing home.Ron said, oh well we are here, let's take a look and so we did. As soon as we walked into this neat as a pin condo and I pulled open the curtains on the back deck his face lit up and he said "Wow"! We proceeded to look at the downstairs with the native stone fireplace and well designed kitchen that just says easy lake living. Next we went up the wide stair case to the second level bedrooms.

August is a new car clearance month and a time for good deals.August is also the "white sale" time for a lake front home. Families with kids are starting to think back to school, retirees think its too hot to look for a home, and others are just on vacation and not thinking they could be enjoying their very own lake home. Sales have been good in Northeast Oklahoma on Grand Lake near the towns of Grove, Ketchum, Disney, Langley, and Zena but August always makes for a slower market. Just for the reasons stated above. Sellers start thinking about lowering prices because boating season starts slowing down with school about to start.Point of all this is if you have been thinking you would like to buy a lake front home on Grand Lake, now is the time.

Oklahoma also has 78,578 miles of rivers and streams. Oklahoma uses both ground water and surface water to meet its water needs.

| | Grand Lake in Northeast Oklahoma Waterfront Homes | | 2007-07-14 23:46:53 | | Great Waterfront Homes On Grand Lake in OklahomaThis is great time to look for a waterfront home on Grand Lake in Northeast Oklahoma. The lake is high from recent floods but is a good time to see where the high water mark is. Our July temperatures have been just wonderful in the high 80's to a day or two at 90 degrees. Our market is not robust but it is far from dead. Prices are slightly higher than a year ago, sales about same as year ago I would suspect when we see the figures for the Grand Lake area, and we have a limited number of nice homes for sale.All areas of the vast Grand Lake perimeter offer different things for different folks. I am glad we all don't like the same thing or we would have a dull world. We offer remote homes with wonderful waterfront in the Zena area such as one listing priced at $450,000 for a log sided home of about 4000 square feet with oversized two car garage and one of the best boat docks I have seen on Grand Lake.

| | Oklahoma Real Estate | | 2007-07-07 01:55:00 | | Oklahoma Real Estate by Seth Willis Jr.Red PeopleOklahoma’s name means “red people”. The name was derived from the words “okla” which means people, and “humma”, meaning red, both Choctaw words. The state is nicknamed “Sooner State.” It is found in south-central part of the United States. Its capital is Oklahoma City, and the state’s largest city. It has the most number of man-made lakes, 200 in all and is surrounded with huge amounts of water. It has more shorelines compared to the combined surface area of Atlantic and Gulf coasts. But around twenty four percent of the state is covered by forests. There are four mountain ranges that can be found here.The state was resided by the Indians, long before it got its name. History dictates that various bits and pieces have been found in Oklahoma real estate, proof that hunter groups have dominated the place at one point.A Contrasting ClimateThe climate in Oklahoma real estate is contrasting cold and warm. During the months of spring, lighting becomes a common sight. For the most part of the months of April through July, the state experiences an average of 40 to 60 days thunderstorms. It’s because of this that it became the fifth season of the state. There is a collision of hot and cold weather, making it prone to high intensity tornado. Oklahoma real estate has recorded the highest wind speed ever recorded in the entire world in the year 1999. Snowfall is experienced by the state during winter. It has been the venue of winter sports competitions in the past years.Money in FuelOklahoma is considered the major fuel producing state. It is regarded as the highest food producing state as well. Thousands of oil and natural gasses surrounds the state. It ranks among the top ten on the most agricultural products being produced. Amidst all these the state’s cost of living remains to be amongst the lowest in the United States.The state is rich with Native American heritage.

The Love Ride is the largest one day event for motorcyclists in North America, this year attracting more than 20,000 registered motorcycle riders for a thirty-five mile motorcycle procession from Glendale Harley Davidson to Castaic Lake Park on November 12, 2006. Along with such major stars like Robert Patrick (star of the current CBS show “TheUnit” and the Clint Eastwood movie “Flags Of Our Fathers”), Mickey Jones (“Home Improvement” star), Peter Fonda and late night talk show host Jay Leno, Winterhalder donated his name, presence, signature and copies of his book as a celebrity to encourage attendees to participate in the event. Although final figures were not available at the end of the event, the 23rd annual Love Ride reportedly raised more than $1,000,000 for the benefit of multiple charities that included Muscular Dystrophy Association, Cure Society of America and Operation Hope.Winterhalder’s book, published by Blockhead City Press (ISBN 0977174700), details the establishment and recent growth of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club in Canada, Europe and Oklahoma, and is one of the best selling, self-published hardcover books of 2006.
