Frequently Asked Real Estate Questions-Ep. 12

How is the Market?

I am asked this question at LEAST twice a week.
Location, Location, Location! A very important topic in real estate. Omaha is one of the best “locations” to be in. Greater Omaha in 2011 has received numerous rankings and recognitions:

• #1-10 Best Value Cities in 2011-Kiplinger July 2011 issue
• #3-Places with Good Jobs & Cheap Housing- Yahoo! Finance July 2011
• #5-Best Cities for Young Professionals-Forbes July 2011 issue
• #10-Fastest Selling Cities in America- Reatlor.com May 2011
• #19-Healthiest Housing Markets for 2011- Builder March 2011
• #1-America’s Most Affordable Cities-Forbes January 2011 issue
• One of America’s Lowest Risk Housing Markets-SmartMoney.com January 2011

Omaha is a great place to be! The overall housing market is one of the best in the nation. If you price your house correctly and present it well, your house will sell. It is EXTREMELY important to remember that each area of the nation has different market conditions. Yes, Omaha does have short sales and foreclosures, but WAY LESS than other major markets.

If you are in the market to buy, this truly is the BEST time to buy I have ever seen. Interest rates are low and houses are priced to sell. Not to mention there are some really HOT deals out there if you purchase a short sale or foreclosure.
So the answer is, the Market is GREAT! Hire an agent that understands how to get you the best results in any market.
