    Living in Oklahoma City Costs of Living

    In the spirit of the pursuit of Happiness and the practical freedom our Founders secured, this episode breaks down why Oklahoma City remains one of the more affordable places for Families / Households to live, work, and build. Using indexes from Investopedia, Salary.com, and RentCafe, Josh covers the real numbers as of this recording. - OKC sits 12–16% below many other U.S. cities overall. Typical Oklahoma Household spending is $66–67k versus $78–79k nationally. A comfortable living income for a single person is around $86–87k. Monthly living costs run about $2,750 for one person and just under $5k for a Household. Housing is the standout advantage—average purchase prices of $235k–$267k are roughly $100k less than the national figure, and brand-new 3/2/2 homes are still available in the Metro under $265k–$285k with a modest extra commute. - Additional points covered: current gasoline in the $4.22–$4.44 range, and the typical $500–$1,000 annual insurance savings on new homes versus existing ones (always verify coverage details with your own broker). Employment options match what you find in larger metros; the first job frequently becomes the platform for the next within 1–2 years. - 📈 Stay in the KNOW 🧐 on Your Local Real Estate Market ➡️ https://joshbarnett.exprealty.com/market-report.php  - Subscribe to Josh’s 📰 Newsletter ➡️ https://joshbarnett.exprealty.com/ask/8622d85f609e28d0ac6f5e18209bc5cc  - 🎙️ Let's Discuss Your Move to Oklahoma City 👨🏻‍💻 Book a Video Real Estate Consultation: https://calendly.com/joshbarnett ☎️ Sales Number: 405-369-8202 📬 Email: info@AppreciationRealty.com ☎️ Office: 888-560-3964 ext. 474 🪪 Oklahoma City Realtor & eXp Realty Sponsor Josh Barnett - 🏪 Josh’s Amazon Store 🎥 Computers & Cameras 👔 Business Casual Clothes 💪🏻 Exercise Equipment 📚 Interesting Books 🚨 ➡️ 🚨 https://a.co/d/05RQXix9 🚨 ⬅️ 🚨 (Commission Store Link 🙏🏻 thank you for your support) - #eXpRealty #eXpRealtySponsor #JoshBarnett - 📝 Disclaimers: This Video, Channel, and any / all other videos / channels are not personalized advice for the viewer AND Does NOT Create A Brokerage Relationship.  Josh Barnett is an affiliate marketer and earns an income from affiliate links.  Any product or link is not a direct referral OR endorsement, ONLY an affiliate link that each person must research on their own.  Homes may or may not still be available, Buyer to verify availability of Homes, some videos are floorplan videos and those homes may or may not have already been pre-sold homes.  Views and opinions of Josh Barnett are not necessarily those of eXp Realty, the Team / Referral Agents.  All results may vary by customer / agents, these are not guarantees or warranties.

    Living in Wellston, Oklahoma | 8.6 Acres MOL Vacant Land Walk | Living in Wellston, Oklahoma - NOT a 360 Tour - This episode is a walk of 8.6 acres MOL of vacant land in Wellston, Oklahoma, in the Oklahoma City Metro. The tract is about 85% wooded and already has a gravel driveway with a culvert, a wellhouse, septic somewhere on the property, and electric through Canadian Valley Electric, which also offers fiber — every system is buyer-verify. Josh had Verizon 5G on his phone. There is a cleared pad area for a manufactured or stick-built home, leftover structures including an old single-wide, a covered area, a casual rifle-range setup, hills if you like sprints, and a low spot that could hold a pond. It sits just 2 miles from Hwy 102, with easy access to Route 66, the Turner Turnpike, Hwy 62, and Interstate I-40.

    4 Beds, 3-Car Garage, 2.16 Acres MOL in Mustang | What Households Ask Before Moving to the SW Oklahoma City Metro

    4 Beds, 3-Car Garage, 2.16 Acres MOL in Mustang | What Households Ask Before Moving to the SW Oklahoma City Metro - Josh walks a Mustang, Oklahoma listing that is bigger than the “in-town starter” most people picture: four bedrooms, three-car garage, double-oven kitchen, giant bonus living room, storm shelter on the patio, and 2.16 acres MOL. - Talking points from the tape: Why Households pick Mustang — splash pad, playground, parks, Founders-style community events, two-door Walmart, Lowe’s, and a high school you can almost see from the driveway. Commute math — airport ~17 min, Capitol ~28, OU ~33, Lake Hefner ride ~27. Use the turnpike vs cutting through town; map apps will route you around the city. Land vs city-lot reality — 2.16 acres MOL sits outside the typical Mustang subdivision footprint. Outside city limits you are in Canadian County building rules. Market snapshot — Mustang medians have been roughly mid-$260k to high-$270k depending on the pull; many homes pending in about 27–30 days; inventory is healthier than 2021–2022, so land-and-garage product still has to be priced to the current buyer, not last year’s frenzy. Schools — video cites a C high school and two B elementaries “good for Oklahoma.” Treat that as a prompt to research Mustang Public Schools, not as a rating you write into an offer. Lake Life honesty — city reservoirs nearby; Grand Lake / bigger water is a weekend trip. Do not buy this house thinking you are on Grand Lake. Career sidebar — if you want to sell houses like this for a living, eXp Realty conversation is in the episode. - Book a video consult even if the move is 6–24 months out. We can structure a hiring window with the referral agents I work with. - Links: https://calendly.com/joshbarnett 🏡 This home and other featured homes at → https://www.oklearnmore.com/index.php?showagent=1#rslt  https://www.oklearnmore.com/ https://a.co/d/05RQXix9 405-369-8202 | info@AppreciationRealty.com | 888-560-3964 ext. 474 - #MustangOklahoma #LivingInOklahoma #OKCHomesWithLand #JoshBarnett #eXpRealty - Disclaimers: This episode is not personalized advice and does not create a brokerage relationship.
