Oklahoma City Office Market Sees Solid Activity in Third Quarter
The Oklahoma City office market saw solid activity in the third quarter of the year. The total square footage of all office buildings sold in the 3rd quarter was 1,014,151 square feet at a total cost of $58,981,497 or $58.16 per square foot. Major properties in excess of 25,000 square feet have changed hands in the quarter but all of the square footage in those sales was the liquidation of three properties owned by the estate of James F. Cotter. Those properties were only in fair condition and will require millions of dollars in upgrades and renovations to compliment the mostly excellent locations they occupy.

Multifamily Market Experiences Strong Quarter
Thanks to the lengthy economic expansion, record-low interest rates, and solid fundamentals, Oklahoma City’s multifamily market has now surpassed any previous year's third quarter year-to-date total unit sales volume. The market is unlike any other before and the buyer makeup is very different today than in the past. Where only five years ago a syndicator would have been a four-letter word to a seller, now more than half of all buyers are some type of syndication of buyers with many made up of various private capital sources pooled together.
