Mike Means was the guest speaker for the program and he talked about the real estate housing bubble.  He said there was some slowing down of housing building in some areas of the country, but did not see that in Oklahoma which in fact was on pace for another record year of new housing construction.  He predicted that Oklahoma will have good construction for another three to four years.  Mike also discussed interest rates and the national economists’ predictions about rates and housing effects.  Statistics show that manufactured housing is at the lowest level in 43 years resulting the consumers demand for housing is being met with more permanent housing that is affordable.  There is a negative fact in Oklahoma which concerns some folks.  The average salaries of the blue collar work force does meet the $35,000 required salary for the average price of a home being built today in Oklahoma.
