How To Make Your Omaha, NE Home More Energy Efficient

by Nancy Heim-berg

How To Make Your Omaha, NE Home More Energy Efficient If you have ever thought about taking the steps to make your home more energy efficient, now is the perfect time! There are many reasons to make the switch including saving money, potentially raising your home’s resale value and helping the environment. Below we have listed a few easy things you can do to begin the journey to making your home more energy efficient. Let’s dive in: 

-The first item to tackle is sealing all the windows throughout your house to ensure there are no air leaks. You can add weatherstripping around the frames if they are drafty and use silicone caulking for any cracks you find in drywall. This is a simple and inexpensive way for you to lower your energy costs on a monthly basis. 

-Getting in the habit of lowering your thermostat while you are out of your home is another great trick. Adjusting the temperature by just three to five degrees will allow you to not only use less energy throughout the day, but also lower your monthly utility bill. 

-Look to replace incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs, Halogen bulbs or CFLs as they are more energy efficient and offer longer lasting light. And with the average home using around forty bulbs, making this switch is a sure way to save some money on your electrical bill. 

-When it comes to water efficiency, installing low-flow shower heads is a great place to start. Traditional shower heads use roughly five gallons per minute, while low-flow heads use less than 2.5 gallons. 

-Expanding on water efficiency, turning off unnecessary water is another wonderful way to conserve water and money. Being conscious of small things such as turning off the water when brushing your teeth/shaving, showering instead of bathing and avoiding running half -loads of laundry can make a big difference. 

-Lastly, going through your home and unplugging chargers when they are not in use is a great way to conserve energy. These “energy vampires” are consuming energy - get this - even when your phone is not connected!

Wondering Why Your Omaha, NE Home Isn’t Selling?

by Nancy Heim-berg

Wondering Why Your Omaha, NE Home Isn’t Selling?When selling your home, there are many factors that determine whether your property will sell quickly or sit on the market for a while. If you are in the process of selling your Omaha, NE home and are wondering why it hasn’t sold yet, we encourage you to keep reading as we have outlined a few reasons why the “For Sale” sign may still be up. Let’s dive in:

-The price is too high.
We understand the attachment people have with their homes, however you have to make sure the emotion doesn’t push you to overprice the property and expect people to pay more than it's actually worth.

-The home needs renovations.
Is your home needing those repairs that you have been putting off for years? Are your appliances and fixtures outdated? While some buyers enjoy the challenge and freedom that comes with home renovations, many buyers are looking for a house that is move-in ready. You are better off taking the time and money to do at least some light renovations and updating before your home hits the market. 

-The home is not staged well. 
When potential buyers view your home either online or in person you want them to feel as if the space is livable and functional for them and their family. One way to achieve this is by staging your home and giving buyers an idea of how certain spaces can be used and rooms can be laid out. 

-The listing photos don’t show the house well.
Buyers will typically begin their home search online by scrolling through listings and zooming in/out of images of properties (this is especially true given the current climate). That is why it is so important to have a professional snap the images of your home. Ideally you would use a photographer who is familiar with real estate photography as they will know all the right angles and shots to capture. You want to put your best foot forward and showcase all the wonderful features of your property. 

-The time of year.
Your home not selling could come down to something as simple as timing. Especially when it comes to time of year, as spring and summer months tend to be a better time to sell a home than winter and fall. 

-Your home appeals to a specific buyer.
If your home is unique and unlike others in the area, it can definitely prove to be an advantage in many ways. On the flip side, it  may also mean that you have to wait a bit longer for the right buyer to come along and fall in love with the property.
