Hi! I’m Jennie Wolek with The Wolek Group at Keller Williams Realty in Tulsa, OK!

Happy Spring! We are so thrilled to hear the birds chirping and feel the warmth of the sun. It was a very tough winter for everyone and we are glad it is behind us.

Today I wanted to update you on the State of the Market in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The latest MLS numbers are out and they are very interesting. These are the market statistics that help us to understand and interpret the market, to better help you buy or sell a home.

As we have been noticing over the last year, the number of closed homes is up from the previous year and up almost 14% from 2012- which is great! Something interesting to note, however, from February 2013 to February 2014 the pending homes (those under contract and set to close) were down over 11%! This could just be from the really tough weather that slowed down the market over the last winter, so we will keep an eye on that and see what next month holds. Finally, the number we have all been watching and really concerned about are the active listings. This number remains a negative number, as it has been in the past, which means there are not enough homes to sell!

The MLS average listing price to sale price is currently at 96.15% and The Wolek Group sells our listings at 97.73%. That’s over 1% more money in your pocket at closing, when you work with us! For example, on your home that is listed at $200,000- we will help you get over $3000 more dollars at closing!

The average days on market for listings is decreasing as well. Homes are selling in about 60 days, however neighborhoods and areas may vary, so get with us to help you map out your timeline.

With this trend of decreasing new inventory, we will likely see multiple offers on good listings. Actually, we are already having that happen! This really should encourage you, if you need to sell your home, to contact us today to help get you on the market. Last April was crazy busy and this one is starting out no different!

If you are looking to buy a home, what all this means for you, is that you must make strong offers and have your financing in place, in order to win the real estate competition. Get with us today to review your specific criteria so we can establish a plan for you and keep our eyes out for a home that matches your needs.

With our amazing team, strong database and Realtor referral connections, we always have a pipeline full of buyers and sellers that will be getting in the market very soon. So if you are a buyer, we may have a listing that is not yet on the market or if you are thinking of selling, we may already have a buyer for you!

As always, we appreciate you and your referrals. Please let us know if you need anything! Have a wonderful day!

testimonials from happy clients

Anita - "They were able to sell my home quickly because of all their marketing efforts and I truly think that is very important."

Larry - "The Wolek Group exceeded my expectations in every area! They were prompt, personable, and had great knowledge of the real estate market. The entire experience was really good and they exceeded in every area!"

Stewart - "The Wolek Group was very responsive and professional. They got any documentation that I needed very quickly and as a first time home buyer, I really appreciated them answering all of my questions and walking me through the process."

Jeff - "We had really great results with the Wolek Group and they were incredibly helpful. We were in Texas and our Realtor would go look at houses we’d ask her about and send us pictures so we could get a better idea of the home. When we did meet up with here, it was a smaller list that we already weeded out. She bent over backwards to do stuff for us and I couldn’t thank her enough!"

Anonymous - "There was a little confusion with our buyer and where he was from with him being in California, not Tulsa but The Wolek group was very diligent about getting all the paperwork back and forth and we got the house sold."

Kathy - "My house sold in less than 2 months and Jennie Wolek was absolutely fabulous! They really got on it! We got it listed and all the papers signed and that day, if not that afternoon she came over and just started getting everything set up. They got the word out, all the fliers out, it was listed with all their Realtors, and got it all over the internet. They had a photographer come out and take pictures and got it up on The Wolek Group website, and the fliers in front of our house. It was great!"

Ken - "We’ve worked with a bunch of Realtors and The Wolek Group is the most professional group we’ve ever used. We never had to wonder what was going on because they communicated and coached us through various challenges the buyers presented. Everything was done in a timely fashion and they were always available. The way they acted was that there was nothing that they weren’t supposed to do, everything was a part of the job and if we requested it, they did it no matter what it was."

Ruth - "I had been looking for 6 months and I couldn’t make up my mind. They actually convinced the other Realtor to let me back in for the 4th time so I could look at the property again. They did a great job and they even contributed to my favorite charity which I have never heard of! They just do an excellent job!"

Sally - "They were really a wonderful team. We had 2 offers within 4 days of putting our house on the market! Everyone on their team was very professional and really used social media in order to reach a broad spectrum of the community. Any questions we had, they got right back to us and they were just helpful in every way. It was the best selling experience we’ve ever had!"

Matt - "My house went on the market about mid-June and I had a 97% offer of my asking price within a couple of days. We were expected to close mid-August but the buyers were doing their underwriting through the VA and after about 3 weeks of yanking their chain and our chain, they denied them the house. The buyers still wanted my house so The Wolek Group actually got them connected to another underwriter and were able to ensure the house closed within 14 days. It was a very positive experience and we really appreciated them stepping up and getting that done for me. "

Gayle -"We sold our house in 13 days! It seemed like they stayed in touch with us constantly! They were great about answering questions quickly. If we had any problems with the house, they sent a repairman over quickly to get it taken care of. It was just a good experience, all the way around!"

Matt -"We sold our house! They handled everything well. They did their job, and they did it good!"
