MARKET PERSPECTIVE: NAVIGATING UNCERTAINTY IN A SHIFTING LANDSCAPE
BY DAN WARD
Over the past several years, the American economic and political landscape has experienced a level of disruption few could have imagined a decade ago. Market volatility, public health crises, and sweeping policy shifts have forced industries— including real estate—to adapt rapidly. While we’ve been told these changes are in pursuit of long-term stability and environmental responsibility, many in the business community are seeing a very different reality unfold.
A prime example is the environmental push aimed at modernizing transportation and energy systems. Consider the now-familiar “Cash for Clunkers” campaign from 2009, which offered rebates to those trading in older vehicles for more fuel-efficient models. While the intent was admirable, many of the programs that followed have introduced as many problems as they attempted to solve. I’m currently facing my third dealership visit in two months due to persistent issues with the DEF system in my 2022 ¾-ton diesel truck—a system designed to reduce emissions but frequently unreliable in practice. It’s a frustrating example of how regulatory initiatives, while well-meaning, often lack the practical foresight needed to support real-world users.
Beyond the automotive sector, the ripple effects of federal and state policy have reshaped migration patterns and housing markets. Following the pandemic, we witnessed a pronounced “blue migration” as residents from traditionally liberal states relocated to more conservative areas like Oklahoma and Texas. The reason? Many sought relief from local government policies they viewed as overly restrictive or misaligned with their values. This influx sparked a surge in real estate demand and pricing—especially in land sales—though the market has since cooled and become increasingly unpredictable.
As a licensed real estate professional since 2004, I’ve watched market dynamics evolve in response to both natural economic cycles and direct policy interference. Rather than allowing markets to self-correct, we’re often met with new regulations or spending packages that complicate recovery. This is not a partisan critique—missteps and overreach are evident on both sides of the aisle.
A traditional market report aims to provide context for how national decisions impact local activity. One need only look at interest rates to understand the scale of that influence. When rates dropped to 2.5%, demand surged and property values soared. Now, in the wake of the D.O.G.E. spending cuts and an escalating tariff crisis, we find ourselves in a market marked by volatility. The first quarter of this year has been a rollercoaster—one week brisk with activity, the next unusually quiet.
Still, one truth remains: land endures. Companies may rise and fall, economies may shift, but land retains its inherent value. In uncertain times, it remains one of the most reliable assets available.
While we can’t yet predict the long-term effects of the current policy landscape, I remain optimistic. I believe that transparency and accountability will ultimately prevail, and that we’ll enter a new phase of economic growth—one built not on slogans or short-term fixes, but on practical solutions and sound leadership.

Testimonials
"Trevor is honest, smart, detail-oriented and a creative problem solver, which made for an overall smooth process from beginning to end. He was flexible for site visits and was able to educate me about the property and the area. He also had abundant contacts to help me connect with the people I needed to service the equipment I bought, the water well on the property and provide wildlife management work after closing. Trevor has stayed in touch post closing and didn't just "move on to the next one". You guys are a great team and my family is appreciative of you and your efforts in making our dream a reality."
- Chris Faulkner
"Trevor Potts and Legendary Land made our transaction so smooth. The hard part was deciding to sell. Trevor walked the property, took pictures to show it to its best advantage, brought a buyer to the table and facilitated the closing. We would certainly recommend him, and his team, to anyone buying or selling in Southern Oklahoma."

“Dan was great to work with. Can’t think of anything that would have made the experience better. We had listed the property with another agent prior to Dan and he showed the property 2 times in one year. By contrast, Dan showed the property numerous times during the term of his contract. He also installed cameras to photograph game on the property: turkey, deer & wild hogs. In my opinion, the game photo’s closed the deal on this property. Dan did an excellent job for us. If we had another tract of land for sale, I’d list with Dan without hesitation.”
- John M.
"I just had three pieces of property that I needed to sell that had been in our family for decades. Working with Trevor and Janie was a fantastic experience. They were very professional and most importantly, they kept me informed the entire way on all three properties; further all three properties were listed and sold within a year! All properties were sold at asking price or just slightly less. I would recommend Trevor, Janie, and Legendary Land to anyone wanting to buy or sell property."
- David McGoodwin
"I am an experienced land owner with this being the fourth ranch I have developed and sold over the past twenty years. This has been by far the best experience I have had with any Realtor in evaluating my property, giving a realistic market appraisal, and effectively marketing the property. Dan is courteous and professional in his manner. He responded to any and all of my many requests throughout the process. I highly recommend him and his company to anyone looking for a competent, realistic, hardworking Realtor. I would be happy to be considered as a future reference. Good luck in your career. Thank you for everything.”
- Richard L. Frazier M.
“Trevor is exactly what you want in a partner when you are making a big decision: professional, honest, patient, and smart. I think the most important thing was that he really listened to exactly what I was looking for and knew how to help me find it. We looked at property after property until I landed on the one that was just right for me and my family. His expertise and good judgment gave me confidence in making a deal. I couldn’t have been more satisfied or impressed, and if I’m buying or selling land, he’s the first phone call I’m making.”
