Selling in the Winter Attracts Serious Buyers A recent study of more than 7 million home sales over the past four years revealed that the season in which a home is listed may be able to shed some light on the likelihood that the home will sell for more than asking price, as well as how quickly the sale will close.
It’s no surprise that listing a home for sale during the spring saw the largest return, as the spring is traditionally the busiest month for Omaha real estate. What is surprising, though, is that listing during the winter came in … (1 comments)

5 Reasons Why Homeownership Is a Good Financial Investment According to a recent report by Trulia, “buying is cheaper than renting in 100 of the largest metro areas by an average of 37.7%.” That may have some thinking about buying a home instead of signing another lease extension. But, does that make sense from a financial perspective?
In the report, Ralph McLaughlin, Trulia’s Chief Economist explains:
“Owning a home is one of the most common ways households build long-term wealth, as it acts like a forced savings account. Instead of paying your landlord, you can pay yourself in the long run … (2 comments)

The Truth About Housing Affordability From a purely economic perspective, this is one of the best times in American history to buy a home. Black Night Financial Services discusses this in their most recent Monthly Mortgage Monitor.
Here are two of the report’s revelations:
The average U.S. home value increased by $13,500 from last year, but low interest rates have kept the monthly principal & interest payment needed to purchase a median-priced home almost equal to one year ago. Home affordability still remains favorable compared to long-term historic norms. The report explains:

How Long Do Families Stay in a Home? The National Association of Realtors (NAR) keeps historic data on many aspects of homeownership. One of the data points that has changed dramatically is the median tenure of a family in a home.

Why the dramatic increase? The reasons for this change are plentiful. The top two reasons are:

Taking the Fear out of the Mortgage Process A considerable number of potential buyers shy away from jumping into the Omaha real estate market due to their uncertainty about the buying process. A specific cause for concern tends to be mortgage qualification.

What to Expect When Home Inspecting So you made an offer, it was accepted, and now your next task is to have the home inspected prior to closing. More often than not, your agent may have made your offer contingent on a clean home inspection.
This contingency allows you to renegotiate the price paid for the home, ask the sellers to cover repairs, or even, in some cases, walk away. Your Omaha real estate agent can advise you on the best course of action once the report is filed.
