While the national housing market has been gloomy lately, the Tulsa housing market has almost been unaffected by the fall.  Since Tulsa is situated in the central part of the country, it just hasn’t experienced the huge increase of home values like Nevada , California , Florida and others did.  So, in turn, the housing market has been able to remain stable.
