If we take a look at the data it's easy to see why Oklahoma City is a growing market and why this is good for investors.
Let take a look a few metrics
- Population has increased over 100k since the beginning of the decade
- Household incomes are up 2.55% Year over Year
- The median age of a property has increased due to large numbers of new units coming on the market the past few years.
Why this is good for investors:
- Rents are up over 6% since last year
- Home values are 8% up from last year
