Offutt AFB - Market Conditions

Bellevue, the closest city to Offutt A.F.B. is experiencing a Buyer's Market. It is a great time to buy!. There are lots of buyers looking for their dream home. Interest rates are low, and just dropped to 5 1/4 to 5 3/8. There is still alot of inventory, but homes that are priced right and in showing condition are selling. There are alot of great deals due to bank owned property for investors, usually these homes are in need of "TLC"(repair). These homes are harder to find, you will need a realtor that knows where to look. Ask about TLC Buyer's Program.

Advice to Buyers - The interest rates are expected to rise so if you are considering buying now is a great time to do it. Don't forget you will not have to pay any real estate commission as the seller's broker will split their commission with a buyer's agent. It is a great advantage to have an experienced Realtor find out what you want and need and then find it for you. An experienced Realtor can research specific neighborhoods as well as specific houses to help you decide what you should offer. They can also provide invaluable buying tips that save their clients time and money. If you would like to search the Multiple Listing Service on your own, go to http://www.TLC-RealEstate.com and click on SEARCH FOR HOMES. If you see a home you're interested in viewing, call me and I will make an appointment for you to see it.

It still is a great time to move even if you have a house to sell as property values are holding, but the competition is as steep as the inventory is large.

Advice to Sellers - Sellers need to price their homes competitively, and respective of condition. In today's market you will need a Realtor to review the market status of your house often (weekly) to assure your position in the market as well as offer advice on Staging, Curb Appeal, and Marketing Strategies so your home stands out from the rest. You can learn more about many of these strategies on my website
TLC-RealEstate.com or call me anytime at 714-5243. 84% of home buyers begin their search on the internet so to get in front of most buyers you want a Realtor that takes professional pictures (this is what the buyers will see) coupled with exposure to multiple top websites. TLC Real Estate does all this marketing plus alot more!

There are still a great number of listings that have expired on the MLS, which demonstrates the competitive nature of the real estate market. If your home expired there are only a few reasons why this would happen. Properties in this market need to be priced right, and marketed right. Your Realtor will need to understand the market and be able to implement strategies to give your house the competitive advantage.

If you have any questions or concerns I would love to hear from you. Tari Lynn Crompton 402 - 714-5243.
