Multiple Offers Happen

Several of my agents have been in multiple offer situations recently. This is where a home for sale has more than one offer from a purchaser. Yes. This is really happening! If your home is in good condition and priced right, buyers will want it. This is also what the "Good Thing You're in Tulsa" slogan is referring to. The Tulsa housing market has not experienced the wild swings in values many other parts of the country have experienced.
