Since conventional wisdom says that real estate doesn't sell in the winter, it might be a good time to review the market to show how much really sells in the winter. You can't get any slower than Christmas, right? So five days after Christmas a quick scan of the pending home sales in Bixby, OK show 41 residential homes under contract and the listed price range is $75,000-$1,349,000. In case you are wondering, that's a lot of contracts for a town the size of Bixby and this is just the pending sales.
This is the best indication that it really is good to be in the Tulsa area where home sales aren't following the national trend. More information about home sales and home sale statistics in Bixby, Oklahoma.

Debris Removal Update
Curbside timber and tree debris pick up by Tulsa County crews will begin for Bixby residents, Bixby Public Works Utility customers, and residents within the Bixby Fenceline per agreement with Tulsa County on January 3, 2008, and has been extended through February 9th.
For those Bixby residents wishing to dispose of their own debris a Tree Debris Site Card will be available at City Hall. You will need to show proof of residence, i.e., Bixby utility bill, drivers license. Cards are free and each card will allow four punches per card for access to the site. Each punch will represent on trip/load. The card must be presented to the attendant at the gate to enter. Name, address, phone number will be required on the back. Additional cards may be made available by the City of Bixby on a case by case basis.
Tulsa County will be picking up tree debris curbside in gated communities in Bixby. We will need to coordinate the necessary arrangements to keep gates open prior to pick up. I will post additional information as it develops.
Contractors with Tree Debris Site Access Cards issued to and signed by the Bixby resident issued the card will be allowed to use the site.
ACCESS WILL BE DENIED TO ANYTHING ADDED TO LOAD OTHER THAN TIMBER AND TREE DEBRIS!

Tree Debris Removal
Dear Neighborhood Leaders,
I must compliment the exemplary manner in which the homeowner associations of Bixby have confronted and handled the recent weather crisis. While there is still much work to be done, I feel that with the continued coordinated efforts of each association's board of directors and residents we will be successful.
Last Saturday the Bixby City Council approved the Interlocal Agreement with Tulsa County for the curb-side removal of tree debris. As there are several potential sites under consideration, the Bixby City Council will reconvene this Thursday, December 27th, at 9:00 am, to approve the site.
Beginning today, if you so choose, you may begin stacking tree limbs and debris at your curbside location for pick-up by Tulsa County. This will begin after January 2nd, 2008. Please be aware that initial pick-up may take 45 to 60 days or longer and is reserved for residents of Bixby, Bixby Public Works Utility customers, and per the agreement with Tulsa County, citizens within the Bixby Fence Line.
Should you choose to remove debris yourself you will need a voucher to gain entrance to the proposed site. These vouchers should be printed and available for pick-up at City Hall by Bixby residents, Bixby Public Works Utility customers, and citizens within the Bixby Fence Line, after January 2nd, 2008.
Please remember that no tires, hazardous materials, liquids, or appliances will be allowed to be dumped at the site. Anything other than tree limbs or tree debris will be turned away.
I will be sending out additional information regarding the vouchers, etc., after the Thursday, December 27th City Council meeting confirming the site location.
Best regards,
Vic Bell
Neighborhood Association Coordinator
City of Bixby
