 The Deer Creek area, nestled in the northwestern corner of Oklahoma County, has seen significant growth in the last few years. West of Edmond and north of Oklahoma City, the small, suburban area has developed a national reputation for having a top-notch school district. In fact, in 2006 Deer Creek students across all grades consistently performed better than the Oklahoma average. With low student-to-teacher ratios and significant educational accomplishments, it's no wonder many families are choosing to move to Deer Creek. Deer Creek offers the perfect combination of small-town living and metropolitan opportunity. Located within minutes of both Oklahoma City and Edmond, Deer Creek residents have access to a variety of shopping, dining, and recreational activities. In fact, Deer Creek is less than thirty minutes from all the popular Bricktown activities in Downtown Oklahoma City. In addition, the Kilpatrick Turnpike makes for a stress-free daily commute. And at home you have the benefit of a quieter, more relaxed neighborhood for your family. You will find many wonderful homes in the Deer Creek district. This is a comfortable area to live, and a great place to raise your family and get to know your neighbors. With new construction occurring regularly and many beautiful houses on the market now, you are sure to find your new home easily.
First Time Buyers >The Perfect House Home buyers must often deal with deferred maintenance or repairs. For example, you may have found a terrific house and like many competent home buyers, you included a structural inspection contingency in your purchase agreement. What happens when you find out that your "perfect" house needs some work? Do you ask the sellers to pay for the repairs? Before you answer "yes", there are some important considerations.
Some contracts require that all of the home's systems, such as plumbing, heating, electrical and central air conditioning, be in working order. In this case, the sellers may be obligated to repair any problems with these systems. Leaky roofs, damp basements, or other structural problems may not be covered, however. If you ask the sellers to make these types of repairs, you may void the contract by doing so. The sellers might prefer to negotiate the repairs to keep from losing the sale. If there are other buyers waiting in the wings with back-up contracts, you run the risk of losing the home.
