Normally Oklahomans pray for rain, but now they are praying for it to stop. We are normally in drought condition once we reach summer. At this time we have already surpassed our annual rainfall by 7 inches and rain is forecast for the next 4 days. Add to that the winter this year which is also normally dry, and it had ice and snow on the ground for over 60 days. This has put new construction back about 60 days and counting, so contracted homes originally slated for July completion can expect September. You cannot pour concrete into mud, especially our clay soil that retains moisture. However, there is good news. The precipitation that started last year to the current time and drastically reduced the amount of inventory available for sale. This has helped drive up prices in what is a very good market to begin with. Plus, my water bill is the lowest I have had in years!
