Tips To Getting The Best Deal On A New Omaha, NE House

by Nancy Heim-berg

Tips To Getting The Best Deal On A New Omaha, NE HouseBuying a house is likely the largest purchase an individual will make in their lifetime. It takes time to save for a downpayment, find the right real estate agent, tour potential homes and finally put an offer together. 

It is so important to be prepared when buying a house, especially first time home buyers, and make sure that you are getting the best deal you can. And as you may have guessed, that is exactly what we are going to be discussing in today’s blog post. Let's dive in: 

-One way to help ensure you are getting the best deal you can when buying a house is finding a great lender and figuring out the right mortgage for you. Taking time to shop around and finding the right fit could mean the difference of thousands of dollars over time.

-Finding a good real estate agent is another great way to ensure you are getting the best deal possible. You want to find an agent who is not only knowledgeable of the area and dedicated to helping you find your dream home, but also someone who will always keep your best interest in mind. 

-Buying a home during an off-peak time could work in your favor when trying to get the best deal. With spring and summer being peak housing sales seasons, trying your luck in the winter could get you the most bang for your buck. 

-Another way to get the best deal on a home is buying a fixer-upper. There are many homes that have a ton of potential, but lack the spark when you first walk in. A fixer-upper is a great way to increase the value of your home while also putting your personal touches on the house.

 

From new, modern homes to old fixer-uppers - whatever your taste let our experienced team help you find your dream home in Omaha, NE. Be sure to sign up for our listing alerts here!

Advantages Of Building Your Own Omaha, NE House

by Nancy Heim-berg

Advantages Of Building Your Own Omaha, NE HouseIf you are thinking of building your own home in Omaha, NE there are many things to consider before you decide if this route is for you. While there are pros and cons to every decision, below we have listed a few advantages of building a home for you to take into account. Let’s dive in! 

-One advantage of building your own home is that you get to start fresh with (quite literally) everything. There are no holes to patch in the walls, no weird carpet stains to steam clean, no paint chips to touch up and no appliances to update. Everything will start out brand new and for some people there is a peace of mind in knowing that.

-On that same note, another advantage is that you get to customize the home to your specific tastes and preferences. Depending on your builder, you could have the opportunity to pick out every kitchen finish, every paint color, every appliance and potentially even the layout of your new abode. 

-Building your own home allows you to incorporate new energy efficient systems throughout which can save you money each month. Many older homes do not have these systems in place and it can be a hassle to upgrade your home to these newer models. 

-Lastly, while you could potentially be paying more money upfront to build a house, you will have a higher resale value when you go to sell your home. This is due in part to people wanting to live in newer homes that are toxin-free, energy-efficient and more spacious than the older homes in surrounding neighborhoods.
