Market Report Snapshot June 1-September 1, 2010: Lewiston Gardens, midtown Tulsa

Lewiston Gardens Market Report Sept 1, 2001, midtown Tulsa real estate

There are currently eleven listings in Lewiston Gardens, ranging from $122,000 to $290,000 list price. No listed properties are pending at this moment.

Five homes sold during this period ranging from $145,000 to $189,900 sales price.

One property really brought down the average price per square foot, but it was significantly over-sized for the neighborhood and not priced competitively from the onset of the listing period. One condo that sold in the subdivision was omitted for the purpose of this market report.

Without that home factored in, the average price per square foot sold during that time period was $125 and average sales price of $168,500.

Market Report Snapshot June 1-September 1, 2010: Lewiston Gardens, midtown Tulsa

Lewiston Garden boundaries are Lewis to the west, 15th Street to the north; 21st Street to the south; and the Broken Arrow Expressway to the east. Its architecture almost mirrors that of Florence Park, and is the neighborhood west of Florence Park, separated by the BA Expressway.

Lewiston Gardens is a beautiful neighborhood in midtown Tulsa with easy access to the Broken Arrow Expressway, close to the University of Tulsa, Utica Square, resaurants and shopping on Cherry Street and Saint John’s hospital.

Just as Florence park and other midtown Tulsa neighborhoods, Lewiston Gardens boasts friendly sidewalks, mature trees and unique historic homes that make midtown Tulsa the corner of Tulsa where you’ll want to live!

Bug, the Obie Award-winning play by Tracy Letts takes audiences to a seedy motel room outside Oklahoma City, where a darkly disturbing but strangely fascinating story of conspiracy, paranoia, love, madness and, yes, bugs inexorably unfolds. A woman on the run from her abusive ex-con ex-husband is introduced to an AWOL Gulf War veteran who exposes her to an insane conspiracy that becomes all too real. Bug was adapted into a motion picture in 2006. Tracy Letts is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play August: Osage County, which played in Chapman Music Hall in January 2010. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and his dramatic works imaginatively revisit his home state again and again. Bug is presented by the Odeum Theatre Company.

Don’t just optimize your web site — optimize your TIME with 210 Consulting, Social Media advisors

After spending over a year learning about this new phenomenon called “Social Media,” I finally made the decision to hire a personal coach — an investment decision for which I will reap rewards for years to come.

Blogging? Who would read my blog and how would that bring me business? I need a WordPress web site, you say? Google algorithms have changed again? Inbound links are good and reciprocal links are bad? Yes, I’m on Facebook, but how do I tweet to my peeps and what content do I tweet? What the heck is Posterous and don’t I already have one? Are hashtags LEGAL?

Social Media Learning Curve Frustration!

YIKES!! When’s a girl suppose to find time to sell real estate?

I had come to know Jeremy Blanton and Jason Crouch through their blogs on Active Rain and was fortunate to meet Jason at a Raincamp in Dallas last spring. Jeremy and Jason formed a social media consulting company, 210 Consulting, through which I took some classes (webinars). Spend just a little time with these two and you’ll discover that learning can be rewarding and FUN!

In addition to optimizing my web site, I decided I needed to optimize my most valued asset – MY TIME.

So, I began personal coaching with Jeremy and Jason and am happily watching my web site increase in rankings and my phone ringing from clients who “found me on the internet.” (Smile.)

THAT’s what social media is all about, friends.

Don’t just optimize your web site — optimize your TIME with 210 Consulting, Social Media advisors

It doesn’t matter if your business is real estate or if you sell a different service or consult in a different industry – if you are not ENGAGING your clients through social media, you may find yourself left behind in the dust.

Call my friends Jeremy and Jason – a little coaching in conjunction with a personal commitment of your time will soon lead to increased business and money in the bank. Don’t take my word for it — google me and google “midtown Tulsa real estate” and see what you find!

AND, do call me if you are interested in buying or selling real estate in midtown Tulsa or the greater Tulsa area!! Call 918-852-5036 or visit my web site at LoriCain.com!

In midtown Tulsa, we refer to Utica Square as “The Square,” as it’s been our beloved shopping center since the early 1950s. It’s an outdoor shopping centre and resembles a village of yesteryear with many landscaped gardens, fountains and multiple chiming clocks.

It’s an enjoyable experience to just visit “The Square” on a nice afternoon and walk past the shops, visiting with friends you will surely meet there.

The Square fits in nicely with our midtown Tulsa community because of its charm, history and aging trees – it feels like part of our neighborhood. Many shops and restaurants are locally-owned – there is a great mix of our hometown favorites and national chains.

Utica Square, midtown Tulsa’s finest shopping centre

You can do everything at Utica Square in one trip. You can purchase groceries, wine, fill your prescriptions, buy greeting cards and purchase a birthday gift. Of course, you can dine in many fine restaurants, shop for clothing and register for your bridal or baby shower.

Utica Square has become much more than a place to shop. During the summer, hundreds of midtown neighbors head to The Square every Thursday evening for “Summer’s 5th Night,” where we enjoy a free outdoor concert, bring our picnics and catch up on neighborhood news.

An annual event not to be missed is “Lights On!” when over 700,000 Christmas lights throughout the shopping centre are turned on Thanksgiving evening. Santa is there to kick off the holiday season and we sing holiday carols.

I’m not sure how many years we’ve enjoyed “Art in the Square,” but it’s a free event where local artists showcase their work along the walkways at the Square. I actually stumbled into this event many years ago while having breakfast at the Wild Fork with a girlfriend. Art in the Square is scheduled this year for Saturday, October 2, 2010, from 10am to 5pm.
