Waht Is The Price Of Houses Where You Live(Per Square Foot)

[FaninAma]

The reason I'm asking is that I was suprised that in Ada ,at least for new homes(less than 10 years old), houses are about 20% more per square foot than in Amarillo.

In Amarillo it ranges for $65 to $103 dollars per square feet with newer houses(10 years or less and depending on area) being $75 to $103 dollars a square foot. The houses in my neighborhood go for about $87 per foot.

In Ada newer homes are going for about $93 to $115 per square feet.

The housing market in Amarillo has been hurt by over building. There have been about 3000 new houses built in Amarillo over the last 10 years and the popuation has not increased by that much. The market got soft about 3 years ago and housing prices have actually dropped about 2% since 2003.

[mdklatt]

Too much.

[FaninAma]

Too much.

Not if they're selling.

Ada is growing by leaps and bounds . . . it's a completely different place now than when I was in college at ECU.

The new highway has opened up several spots for new businesses and stuff.

As long as californians keep coming east, the prices are really going to keep increasing.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

bigger houses -> $150
smaller houses -> $243

i sold an 1,172 sq foot bungalow last month for $332,000. the portland housing market is INSANE. that's $283 per square foot.

[SOONER44EVER]

I just put in an offer on a fixer-upper today. 3000 Sq. ft. for 90K. I sure hope I get it.

[PDXsooner]

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

jkm, i thought you lived in queen anne?

[oumartin]

i got my house for 70.00 a sq. full brick. remodeled. 2000 sq ft plus basement. that was 2 months ago. we looked for a year.
new houses are up around 80-85.

[crawfish]

Houses down the street are selling for $110-120 per sq.ft. Good news for someone who bought for 74. :D

i was just kidding. last i checked a tiny starter in queen anne was going for close to a mill.

this move wil pay off very well for you if you ever move back to okla. the problem is if you stay here, everything goes up at roughly the same rate.

[Harry Beanbag]

We built our house just over 3 years ago for $80 per square foot. Now it's worth $170 per.

[mrowl]

Non-stop airplane noise?

:D

only on Sundays.

Actually, if you are north of 3040, its not noticable. I feel sorry for people in Coppell, nevermind, no I don't, they spent $300K to hear planes all day and night.

I'd heard that prices around Dallas and the OKC metro were relatively cheap because of the same problem we've had here....over building by contractors. I've had 2 friends who were in other lines of business go into the contracting business because of the housing boom here in Amarillo. I think it's finally starting to cool off.

[boomersooner28]

It's ALL about the neighborhood. For example, in my neighborhood, our houses are all about 25 years old, 1500 to 2000 sq ft (Broken Arrow). They go for about $65-70 a sq ft. A cousion of mine built a house in 2000 in a bad neighborhood, it is worth about $50/sq ft and it's only 4 miles away (only 5 years old mind you). A good friend of mine has a 2200 sq ft house 6 miles the other way (in Tulsa) built in '76...it looks like it should be worth $85 a sq ft, but the neighborhood sales are all for about $60-65 sq/ft. It's all about demand/ where people want to live.

[sooneron]

I am going to estimate around $300-375. The problem in my town is that there's nowhere to build so you have to do the tear down thing. And there's a LOT of that going on here.

Here's a small sampling of my town. One of the houses is around the corner from me and I can't believe how much they want.

don't forget that the property taxes are astronomical- 9k for our house on a 1/4 acre.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

which one is yours?

368- in the center next to the pool- I have NO idea when that price was appraised, as we appraised shortly after purchase and it was markedly higher.

Northwest Norman, we bought 5 years ago for $69 per sq ft., our house is now worth $89/sq ft.

Ah, so that's what trees look like.

[Taxman71]

Norman, most built for $90 - $95/foot two years ago. Now at $105 to $115/foot. Me thinks I will finish my bonus room now and create a little more equity.

My mom bought a house in yukon back in 90s for $40 bucks a square foot.

It was reciently appraised for around $63 a foot.

Taxes are one advantage in Oklahoma. Ada's property taxes are about 1/2 those of Amarillo for comparatively priced homes. For a 2400 square foot home in Amarillo appraised at $85 a square foot taxes are $380 a month or $4560 a year.

[Harry Beanbag]

El Reno is imploding into the ******* that it is. Nasty place.

[OU Adonis]

I thought Yukon was 'sploding somewhat. Or was it el reno?

It is. She lives off Reno and mustang road, that area has changed a lot since I grew up around there.

When she bought her house (1500 sq foot) it was like 60k, its up around 95k now.

It might be due to the fact she's got a small house (for a 3 bedroom).

Wouldn't you say that's offset by the st income tax?

[Harry Beanbag]

Here's a chart that shows the value of my house that was built in 2002. The light blue is the median price for my zip code, the dark blue is for my house. Fairly amazing.

Yeah, that site rocks balls. Good find jkm!

[mdklatt]

But you don't pay income tax in Texas, or sales tax on groceries. Don't worry, Oklahoma finds a way to bend you over.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Yeah, that site rocks balls. Good find jkm!

just so you know, use it as a rough estimate and not as a realistic price. their "formula" isn't doesn't take into account sharp rises and drops in price.

It's right on the money for my 'hood.

Uh, yeah, you can add another 100k for the houses in my hood at the moment. At least.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

yeah, mine increased 12k last week, to bad they are still about 50k behind the curve. it looks like they are using exponential smoothing but aren't using winter's method for spikes.

just think what it would be worth without the tree in front of your shed.

[PhxSooner]

We bought ours for for $103/sq foot in 2002, now they're selling at about $227/sq foot. That site is probably about 50K off on my neighborhood, too.

Not that I'd pay $227/sq foot for our house. Geez.

It is insane out here. Nothing like having 100% equity after 3 years. Of course it only means anything if I'm moving back to Oklahoma.

bout the same in carrollton, depending on what corner you're in

[HoserSooner]

Up here, I'm looking at approx. $130 (Cdn.) per square foot. I have no idea if that is good or bad.

Half an hour south in Toronto, it is at least 4 times that amount.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

what is that? a quarter a square yard?

[MamaMia]

How much a square foot should you have to pay for a renovation job in Woodward Oklahoma? Anybody?

[OU Adonis]

new home sales are down 10%

[MamaMia]

Oh and if there are any builders among you Sooners, I now have the plans if you would like to make a bid.

[BoogercountySooner]

[VeeJay]

$228 in Broward County (Ft. Lauderdale) FL.
