Sunday marks the first official day of spring! As we prepare for all the fun things we will do with longer days and warmer weather we don’t want to forget to transition our home for the new season as well. 

Below we have listed six simple ways to get your Omaha, NE home spring ready. Let’s dive in: 

Spring Cleaning
There is nothing like a little spring cleaning to really make it feel like a new, warmer season is upon us. While many people do not look forward to this task, setting a plan and slowly tackling each room is a great way to make it feel attainable. Organizing, selling, donating and/or throwing away items will make your home feel less cluttered and a deep clean will make the space feel fresh and rejuvenated. 

Freshen Up The Porch
The porch is the first part of your home that visitors see and you want it to feel warm and inviting for spring. Take some time to clear out cobwebs, sweep the walkway, add some colorful plants and hang a fresh wreath on the front door. Little things can make a big difference. 

Clean Out The Gutters
Winter months can be rough on your gutters leaving them clogged with debris and leaves. You want to be sure to clean them out and clear the downspouts prior to the rainy season starting in order to avoid flooding and other headaches. 

Prep The Garden And Lawn
Adding fertilizer, clearing winter debris, pruning shrubs, trimming the trees and other landscaping projects are great ways to get your garden and lawn ready for spring. Additionally, now is a great time to check your lawn equipment and make sure everything is ready for when summer rolls around. 

Check The Windows
Going window by window, check the seals to make sure there is no damage and reseal any cracks you find. This will help to ensure your home is energy-efficient and prevent the warm air from getting in and the cool air escaping. 

Service AC Unit
Contact a qualified heating and cooling contractor to come and clean/service the outside unit of your AC system. Scheduling an annual service appointment will allow the system to work more efficiently and allow you to keep up with any repairs. Also, consider changing interior filters on a more regular basis to keep the indoor air clean and aid in seasonal allergy relief.

If you have ever purchased a home you understand just how costly and emotional the process can be. There are so many checklists to complete and checks to write. One of the optional costs is to have a home inspection completed, which leaves some buyers unsure if the $200 to $500 invoice is worth it. 

Ultimately the decision on whether or not to schedule a home inspection is up to you. However, if you are on the fence we have outlined four reasons why it would be a benefit to you during the home buying process below. Let’s dive in:

Safety. 
First and foremost, a home inspection can bring to light any issues around the home that could negatively affect your family’s safety and health. Things such as mold, carbon monoxide, radon, outdated electrical wiring, foundation issues, traces of lead in pipes and deteriorating plumbing materials are all issues that, if not for a home inspection, may have been overlooked. 

Negotiate. 
Based on the inspection report that comes back, the buyer has the opportunity to request repairs to be completed and/or a reduction in price. Your realtor should be able to work with you to fully understand what asks should be made to achieve the best deal possible. A home inspection can be a great negotiation tool. 

Avoid inheriting costly repairs. 
By opting out of a home inspection, buyers are accepting the risk that major issues may go undetected and costly repairs may need to be completed down the road. Larger issues such as roofing, foundation, HVAC system and plumbing can potentially cost thousands of dollars to fix and pose a large financial setback. 

Peace of mind.
At the end of the day a home inspection will allow you to paint a clearer picture of the homes condition and exactly what you are stepping into once those keys are in hand. Not fully understanding all the details of the house can cause unnecessary anxiety, stress and uncertainty. A home inspection allows buyers to safeguard their budget and adds an extra layer of protection to what is probably the largest purchase they will may in their lifetime.

Even for the seasoned buyer the home buying process can prove to not only be stressful, but filled with questions and many moments of uncertainty. The best thing you can do as a buyer is to arm yourself with information prior to beginning your search so you can walk in as prepared as possible. 

Below we dive into 5 frequently asked questions that many home buyers have and provide information on each topic. Let’s jump in:

What is the first step in the home buying process?

Mortgage pre-approval. 

The first step in the home buying process is to get pre-approved for a mortgage. Getting pre-approved for a loan will allow the buyer to understand exactly how much home they can afford and search for houses within their set budget. Buyers will need to provide proof of income, proof of assets, employment verification, good credit and other documentation when applying. 

What can I expect my real estate agent to do during the home buying process? 

A lot. 

When it comes time to buy a home, your real estate agent will become your new best friend and biggest advocate. They are the most valuable asset you have as their knowledge and expertise will help you navigate each aspect of the home buying process. Throughout the entire transaction your realtor will not only represent you, but they will be there to educate you on all of your options and answer any questions you have (because there will probably be lots of them!). 

How long does the closing normally take?

It depends. 

Typically you can expect the closing process to take around 30-45 days if you have a conventional mortgage, but every situation is different and timelines can vary. While there are some delays that unfortunately are unavoidable (and frustrating) there are a few things you can do to help ensure things run smoothly including depositing the down payment on time, making sure the loan application is complete and fulfilling all unpaid debts. 

Is it necessary to get a home inspection?

Yes.

Any time you are purchasing a home you should always get an inspection, even if it’s a new construction. Inspections are relatively inexpensive and will provide you with useful knowledge such as structural issues, safety problems, any unwanted pests and/or insects, and overall peace of mind and protection on your largest investment. 

How much should I be saving for a down payment?

Aim for 20% of purchase price.

The magic number many experts say to aim for when it comes to a down payment is at least 20% of the purchase price as it lowers the buyers lending risk. This will allow you to avoid paying for private mortgage insurance (PMI) and added interest to your mortgage payment. As an example, if your dream home is $350,000 you should plan to save around $70,000 for a down payment.

If you are looking to sell your Omaha home, chances are you have made a list (either on paper or in your head) of all the projects and improvements you would like to complete before the listing goes live. This can be a stressful time for homeowners and many of the tasks you've outlined may seem daunting from a time perspective as well as a budget. 

Don’t let that discourage you. Here are five areas to focus your efforts to get a great start:

1. While decluttering your home, be ruthless in what you purge. Whether you are selling, donating, or throwing things away, you want to ensure any items that are left in your home are intentional. Potential buyers want to be able to see themselves living in the space, so an uncluttered, neutral space allows them a clean slate to envision their lives in your home. 
2. Details matter! Walk through each room of your home with a discerning eye. Check light switches, baseboards, light fixtures, door handles & hinges, flooring, and walls. Make a list of any and all damage that needs to be fixed. Small items like patches in a wall or replacement of switches or hinges are fairly easy. However, if you find you need faucet replacements or larger items, you may want to hire a handyman to take the stress off of you and knock out chunks of your list at once. 
3. A fresh coat of paint is a great way to refresh almost every room of your home. Not only will it look brighter, it also gives the room and home a "new home" feel. As a side note- remember to choose a neutral palette in your color choices. This allows your potential home buyers to decorate according to their personal style. 
4. You never get a second chance at a first impression. Knowing this, give your front porch and yard a little extra TLC. Look into low-cost projects that offer big-impact curb appeal such as porch lights, new house numbers, a fresh mailbox, welcoming doormat, planters and/or a wreath for the front door. 
5. Finally, we can’t overstate just how important it is to give your home a thorough, deep clean before potential buyers start to tour the space. If you don’t have the time to do this yourself, look into hiring a cleaning service to make sure each surface is shiny-clean and your home is able to put its best foot forward. This includes cabinets, closets, the basement, and the garage. 

If you are looking to sell your Omaha, NE house, be sure to contact our team for more information. Our dedicated, knowledgeable agents are here to provide you with the expert services you need.

With Omaha experiencing exceptionally cold weather, we thought it would be the perfect time to discuss ways in which you can protect your home against the elements. Below we have listed six things you can do to ensure your home is safe during these chilly temperatures. Let’s dive in: 

1. -Ensure all holes and cracks in your home are sealed prior to temperatures dropping. This is a great project to conduct annually as even the smallest holes allow freezing air in and warm indoor air out. 
2. -Make sure your home is properly insulated! It not only increases indoor comfort but also helps with energy savings. Pay special attention to areas such as exterior walls, unheated garages, and attics. Insulation also protects pipes running through exterior walls. 
3. -A great way to ensure that pipes don’t freeze and burst (and cause a major headache) is to wrap exposed pipes, especially in unheated spaces such as attics and crawl spaces. Pro tip: Insulation sleeves are a great item to use for this! 
4. -Maintain a steady level on your thermostat. While it is common to lower your heating levels at night, it is important to keep an even level of heat during the daytime hours.  Continually switching up the heating temp can cause issues with the materials in your home and attics and basements. 
5. -To avoid ice from forming on the roof of your home, take some time to make sure the gutters are clean. You can also look into gutter screens which is a great tool to help prevent leaves from clogging this area. 
6. -Protect the water pipes in your home by disconnecting garden hoses, shutting off water sources to outdoor faucets, and draining the lines.
