Are you aware that Omaha's urban landscape is undergoing a remarkable renaissance? The Nancy Heim-Berg Team has our finger firmly on the pulse of Omaha's real estate market, and we've recently observed how strategic investments and thoughtful development are reshaping areas like Blackstone, Benson, and North Downtown.

 

Once-overlooked neighborhoods transform into vibrant hotspots that attract residents and investors. Omaha's transformation is changing more than the physical landscape and creating excellent investment opportunities for savvy buyers looking to capitalize on Omaha's urban evolution.

 

Blackstone District: From Historic Hub to Modern Hotspot

Once one of Omaha's oldest neighborhoods, the Blackstone District has emerged as the city's premier example of successful urban revitalization. The historic area, extending from 36th Street to 42nd Street along Farnam Street, has been transformed into a lively, pedestrian-friendly destination that showcases contemporary dining, nightlife, shopping, and residential experiences.

Mayor Jean Stothert noted that "Blackstone's success and growth will continue to accelerate when the streetcar is running," highlighting this transportation project's transformative impact on the area. Nebraska Examiner The perfect storm of development factors converging in this area makes Blackstone particularly interesting to investors. The coming streetcar route, scheduled to begin operating in 2027, is accelerating development.

 

Recent development announcements underscore this momentum. A new $45 million housing development was recently announced for the Blackstone District, set to transform the former WOWT-TV building site at 35th and Farnam with 180 apartments and amenities, including a pool and fire pits. The project developers specifically cited the incoming streetcar as a key factor in their concept. https://www.wowt.com

 

For investors, Blackstone offers multiple entry points—from purchasing existing properties for renovation to investing in new developments. The Nancy Heim-Berg Team has guided numerous clients through successful investments in the Blackstone District, helping them identify properties with strong appreciation potential before prices climb further.

 

Benson: A Growing Appeal for Benson's Artistic Soul

Benson, just northwest of downtown, known for its lively and unique vibe, has established itself as one of Omaha's most distinctive neighborhoods. We're seeing Benson transform from working-class roots into one of the city's most vibrant districts, right before our eyes. The heart of the neighborhood runs along Maple Street, home to trendy restaurants, craft breweries, cafés, and boutique shopping options. The Dodge Voice

 

Its strong artistic identity and community cohesion distinguish Benson from other evolving areas. The neighborhood has transformed into one of Omaha's most eclectic areas, filled with art galleries, music venues like The Waiting Room Lounge, and diverse dining options that attract a creative crowd. Nebraskarealty

 

The Heim-Berg Team has identified several investment opportunities unique to Benson:

 

First, the commercial corridors offer solid small business investment potential, with storefront properties at more accessible prices than those in Blackstone or downtown. One local entrepreneur recently purchased, redesigned and renovated a hardware store into an attractive café and coworking space, seeing substantial revenue and property appreciation.

 

Second, the residential streets surrounding the commercial core feature character-rich homes at relatively affordable prices. A young couple working with the Nancy Heim-Berg Team purchased a 1920s bungalow for $225,000 in 2022, made strategic updates, and recently received an appraisal valuing their home at $310,000—representing substantial equity growth in just three years.

 

Third, a four-unit property recently listed by the Nancy Heim-Berg Team received multiple offers within 48 hours, demonstrating strong investor interest in this area. This proves that multi-family opportunities in Benson remain undervalued compared to other hot neighborhoods.

 

North Downtown: The Next Frontier

The most exciting area for forward-thinking investors is North Downtown Omaha, where infrastructure investments and strategic development are laying the groundwork for substantial growth. According to the 2022 Greater Omaha Chamber Urban Core Strategic Plan, the goal is to add 30,000 new residents to Omaha's urban core over the next 30 years—and North Downtown will play a crucial role in achieving this vision. Cityofomaha

 

According to projections from the Omaha Streetcar Authority, the streetcar project is proving to be a powerful catalyst for North Downtown development. The streetcar system is expected to generate $3.2 billion in new downtown development over 15 years, creating tremendous opportunities for early investors.  Rejournals

 

The North Downtown developments are showing a lot of momentum:

One developer invested in three adjacent properties near CHI Health Center, designing them as a mixed-use project that includes ground-floor retail with residential units above. They're including a local coffee shop and a boutique fitness studio that are up and running, before completing full property construction, demonstrating the demand for amenities.

 

Currently, the Heim- Berg Team, sees a robust long-term forecast for North Downtown. North Downtown offers a great value proposition for residential investors. The area features a mix of newly renovated properties and development opportunities, with listings highlighting convenient access to downtown attractions while emphasizing future benefits from the incoming streetcar line. Redfin

 

Omaha is undergoing what Mayor Jean Stothert called an "$8 Billion Makeover," with more than 20 construction projects underway throughout downtown and surrounding areas to enhance connectivity, livability, and economic activity. Homes

 

For those considering investment in these transforming neighborhoods, the Heim-Berg Team recommends several successful strategies:

Timing is critical. North Downtown presents the highest potential upside but requires a longer investment horizon, while Blackstone represents a more mature investment market with proven returns but higher entry costs.

 

Benson offers a mid-range opportunity with established momentum but still accessible price points. A client working with the Nancy Heim-Berg Team recently purchased a mixed-use building in North Downtown for 30% less per square foot than comparable properties in Blackstone, banking on the area's trajectory to drive future appreciation.

 

Consider Property Type Carefully: Each neighborhood has different property types that perform best. In Blackstone, multi-family and mixed-use buildings have shown the most substantial returns. Benson's single-family homes and small multi-family properties (2-4 units) have demonstrated excellent appreciation. North Downtown's best opportunities are commercial buildings with redevelopment potential and newer condo developments.

 

Look for Infrastructure Indicators: Properties within a quarter mile of planned streetcar stops consistently show the most substantial appreciation potential. The Nancy Heim-Berg Team maintains detailed maps of infrastructure developments. It can guide investors to strategic locations based on upcoming improvements.

 

Consider Cash Flow vs. Appreciation: North Downtown offers stronger cash flow opportunities with long-term appreciation prospects. Investors should clarify their primary objectives. Blackstone properties typically generate lower cash flow but stronger appreciation. Benson offers balanced cash flow and appreciation potential.

 

The Streetcar Project’s Impact. The coming streetcar system deserves special attention as an investment driver, as it should have a substantial financial impact. When operational in 2028, the initial route will connect neighborhoods, business districts, tourist attractions, and community amenities between downtown Omaha and the Blackstone District. The streetcar represents more than just transportation—it catalyzes economic growth, spurring billions in new development. Omaha streetcar

 

The Nancy Heim-Berg Team has observed a clear pattern of investment flowing along the planned route, with properties within walking distance of future stops commanding premium prices. One client who purchased a commercial building on Farnam Street in 2022 has already received unsolicited offers at 40% above their purchase price despite making minimal improvements to the property.

 

Omaha's planned streetcar system carries a price tag exceeding $300 million. It will run primarily along Farnam and Harney Streets between downtown and midtown. City officials have approved $440 million in bonds to finance the project, with the debt to be paid through tax-increment financing (TIF) revenues. Nebraska Examiner.

 

This important public investment shows the city's commitment to the corridor's success and provides investors with additional confidence about the area's trajectory.

 

The Heim Berg Team's Investment Timing Advice. Based on current market conditions and development timelines, the Nancy Heim-Berg Team suggests these neighborhood-specific investment approaches:

 

Blackstone: The window for getting in early has largely closed, but opportunities remain for value-added investments. Focus on properties needing renovation or those slightly outside the core district that will benefit from the neighborhood's continued expansion. Consider a 5–7-year-old strategy to maximize returns.

 

Benson: Now is the optimal time to invest in Benson, as prices have not yet reached their ceiling. The neighborhood is experiencing steady appreciation without the speculative price jumps seen in Blackstone. The sweet spot is within three blocks of Maple Street, where walkability enhances rental rates and resale values.

 

North Downtown: Properties may require more initial work or extended holding periods before significant appreciation materializes. This area represents the best opportunity for patient investors with a 7–10-year horizon. Still, early investors stand to benefit most from the area's transformation. The Nancy Heim-Berg Team has identified several "micro-pockets" within North Downtown that show early signs of accelerated development.

 

The Nancy Heim-Berg Team has consistently advocated for investments that honor neighborhood heritage while supporting growth. Omaha's neighborhood transformation is particularly noteworthy because it balances progress with preservation.

 

Omaha's evolution has largely maintained each area's distinct identity while enhancing amenities and infrastructure, unlike in some cities, where gentrification completely changes neighborhood character. Omaha's thoughtful approach to development creates sustainable long-term value and reduces the risks typically associated with rapidly changing urban areas.

 

Investing in Omaha's transforming neighborhoods requires local expertise, market insights, and strategic timing. The Nancy Heim-Berg Team offers all three, with a deep understanding of the factors driving neighborhood evolution and the ability to identify opportunities before they become apparent to the broader market.

 

Are you considering your first investment property, looking to diversify your portfolio with Omaha real estate, or seeking to capitalize on the city's urban renaissance? The Nancy Heim-Berg Team provides the guidance you need to make informed decisions.

Omaha Luxury Living!

by Nancy Heim-berg

Let me share something exciting happening in our city as Big Tech meets Omaha tradition Omaha's luxury home market is experiencing a remarkable transformation, especially in our Western Edge. As someone who watches this market closely, I see a fascinating blend of tech prosperity, business growth, and sophisticated living reshaping our city's high-end real estate landscape.

Welcome to Omaha’s NEW WEST, where innovation meets excellence, particularly in Elkhorn and surrounding areas. Elkhorn has become our city's nouveau luxury destination. Picture this: custom estates nestled in rolling hills offer privacy and proximity to Omaha's thriving tech corridor. The recent arrival of several fintech companies and the expansion of our existing tech sector have brought a fresh wave of executives and entrepreneurs seeking homes that match their lifestyle aspirations.

Our 'Silicon Prairie' has become more than a clever nickname as it influences our city and real estate market. With companies like Toast, LinkedIn, and several emerging tech startups expanding their presence, we're seeing a new generation of luxury home buyers. These tech professionals bring coastal expectations to our market, driving demand for smart homes with sophisticated automation systems and dedicated home offices that rival corporate headquarters.

Unlike cramped coastal cities, our western developments offer something unique: modern luxury meets Omaha’s open space. New luxury communities in areas like The Prairies, Indian Creek, and Pacific Springs are designing homes with both grandeur and practicality. Think four-car garages, home automation systems, and resort-style outdoor living spaces spanning multiple acres.

It's not just tech driving this growth; more big businesses are migrating to Omaha. Major corporations are discovering Omaha's business-friendly environment, bringing C-suite executives who appreciate our city's blend of sophistication and livability. These newcomers are often pleasantly surprised to find they can get significantly more home for their money compared to other major metros.

The newest luxury developments take notes from both coasts while maintaining our Midwestern sensibility. In West Omaha's latest communities, you'll find home innovations featuring:
Wine cellars would impress any sommelier, home theaters rivaling commercial cinemas, and wellness wings complete with indoor pools and spa facilities. New homes include Smart home systems that you can control anywhere in the world.

Elkhorn has transformed significantly, evolving from a quiet suburb into a luxury destination. New developments here understand their audience: successful professionals who want space to breathe without sacrificing sophistication. The area's latest communities offer amenities that match or exceed those found in major metropolitan areas.

The evolution goes beyond the homes. What makes these areas particularly attractive is the ecosystem developing around them. New upscale restaurants, boutique fitness centers, and high-end shopping are following the residential growth. The Western Edge is becoming an independent luxury destination that no longer relies on downtown Omaha for premium experiences.

From an investment perspective, predictions for appreciation potential in West Omaha's luxury market look promising. The continued influx of tech companies and corporate relocations suggests sustained demand for premium properties. We're seeing homes in established luxury areas appreciate at rates that outpace the general market.

As I look out on the horizon, the future looks exceptionally bright for our western luxury corridor. Planned developments are already accounting for future tech growth, with fiber optic infrastructure and community amenities that cater to a sophisticated, connected lifestyle. If you weren't aware, we have more new corporate campuses in their planning stages, which will continue increasing demand for luxury properties.

Your timing couldn't be better if you're considering an Omaha luxury home. Whether you're relocating for tech opportunities or looking to upgrade within our city, the Western Edge offers a compelling blend of space, sophistication, and community. New developments are creating opportunities that didn't exist a few years ago.

The transformation of West Omaha's luxury market reflects our city's growing prominence in the tech and business worlds. Omaha is a unique city where innovation meets traditional Midwestern values. In Omaha, you get luxury living with room to breathe and grow.

If you're ready to explore what West Omaha's luxury market offers, then let's connect and discover the perfect place for your next chapter in our evolving city. The future of luxury living in Omaha is happening now and is more exciting than ever.

Is this Cooler Market Good for Buyers?

by Nancy Heim-berg

After a red-hot real estate market during the pandemic & subsequent months, rising interest rates have cooled the chaos. But does that necessarily mean bad news for buyers? Maybe not, here’s why.

When the housing market skyrocketed, many would-be homeowners found themselves in a position of being unable to buy due to tons of cash offers and bidding wars that went sky-high, most-often thousands of dollars above asking price and almost always all contingencies waived. With interest rates rising, home prices are now edging down. 


In a recent Bloomberg article (October 2022) by Teresa Ghilarducci titled “Looking to Buy a House? It’s Not the Worst Time to Buy” she states “Buying an asset when the price is falling is generally a good thing. Buying a home now when mortgage rates are high and housing prices are falling means as mortgage rates stabilize or even drop, your house value will more likely inflate than if prices were rapidly increasing and mortgage rates were increasing. Rising mortgage interest rates and a potential recession may seem like bad news, but these trends could benefit would-be home buyers by cooling demand and dropping prices further, especially if the buyers are confident, they won’t lose their jobs and income.”  She further explained “Of course, a would-be home buyer must consider other important criteria besides housing prices before buying a house. Other important decision factors include having at least 20% for a down payment; whether you will live in the property for more than five years; and whether your monthly payment will be lower than 30% of your gross income.”

Although some may feel that buying a home while inflation & interest rates are higher is less than ideal, it may be a perfect time if you can afford it. You will avoid the bidding wars that kept so many buyers out of the market previously and you can refinance when the FED lowers interest rates, which some experts predict will start happening in 2023. 


If you’re considering a home purchase, or have questions about buying in this new market, please reach out and schedule a time with us to discuss your needs, options, and homes available to you.

Tips for Moving with your Furry Family Members!

by Nancy Heim-berg

Moving day is an exciting time for the entire family....but it is also stressful.  The same stress felt by the 'humans' in the house, are also felt by your pets.  In fact, pets can sense that something big is up, weeks prior to your move!  They pick up on your anxiety and the chaos of their living space.  

In order to make your move a smooth one for your furry friends, follow these terrific tips:

Before Moving Day

1. Visit your Vet for one last checkup, any vaccinations due and to gather all your pets health records.

2. If possible, visit your new home so your pets can get acclimated to their new environment.

3. Create new Name Tags that show your brand new address.

Moving Day

1. Pack an overnight bag specifically for your pet.  Include food, water, favorite toy, and medications, treats, doggie bags for clean-up and sleeping bed.

2. Pack a current photo of your pet in the bag in case they were to get loose of you during the move.

3. Pack your vet records in the bag as well.

4. Keep your pet in your vehicle when making the move.  This helps ease their already high anxiety.

5. Once you arrive at your new home, allow your pet some time to 'sniff' around before bringing in furniture and belongings.

Mortgage Changes to Know in 2014

by Nancy Heim-berg

Homebuyers in 2014 will face sweeping new changes when it comes to obtaining a mortgage. The National Association of Mortgage Professionals has listed some of the top changes for buyers.

Lenders will now be scrutinizing buyers more carefully in order to ensure they are qualified to take out a loan. Buyers will now be required to undergo an Ability to Repay Mandate, which amounts to a new set of guidelines concerning assets, income and other financial obligations in order to obtain what is known as a qualified mortgage.

Those who were previously concerned about origination fees could possibly breathe a little easier in 2014. New laws dictate that mortgage origination fees may not exceed 3% of the loan’s value. This rule only applies to those who are taking out a “qualified mortgage,” so those who apply for other types of loans could nonetheless pay higher origination fees.

One of the biggest mortgage changes to know in 2014 involves FHA loans. Previously, borrowers could apply for FHA loans of up to $729,750, but the cap in 2014 will be limited to $625,000. This change is unlikely to affect people in most parts of the country, as the average home price is already much lower than that figure. Even so, homebuyers in areas that have a high cost of living could find themselves having difficulty obtaining FHA loans as a result.

Self-employed individuals will also have a harder time obtaining a mortgage loan in 2014. That’s because the new rules will make it more difficult for those without a W-2 form to prove their income and asset-to-debt ratio. As a result, a number of self-employed individuals might find they are unqualified for a mortgage, even if their credit score is well above average.

The goal of these new changes is to ensure that faulty lending practices do not result in another housing market crash, as the economy is still recovering from the bubble that burst a few years ago. Only time will tell whether the laws will be effective at doing so, or whether they will only make it more difficult for the average person to become a homeowner.

Credit Reports

by Nancy Heim-berg

If you're house hunting, whether it's for your first home or your fifth, you will eventually need to obtain a detailed copy of your credit report. And thanks to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), initially passed in 1970, you are allowed to request a free copy of it once every 12 months.

The three companies responsible for distributing the vast majority of credit reports are Equifax, TransUnion and Experian. These reports are what lenders use to underwrite mortgage loans.

It does not diminish your credit rating to use this program; rather, it allows you and your financial backer the opportunity to ensure the information listed therein is accurate, complete and up to date. Armed with this knowledge, among many other mitigating factors, you will be able to ascertain how easy or troublesome it will likely be to garner a home loan.

Credit Rating

The aforementioned credit reporting companies utilize a formula to calculate your credit rating. The results of this calculation are often referred to as your FICO score. Here is a simplified look at the primary factors that go into determining your FICO score, along with the percentage with which each is weighted:

  • Payment history (35 percent)
  • Amounts owed (30 percent)
  • Length of credit history (15 percent)
  • Types of credit used (10 percent)
  • New credit (10 percent)

Credit scores generally fall into the 300 to 850 range, with 850 being at the top. Most people tend to score in the 600s to 700. So it stands to reason that people with better scores get better interest rates and more options when applying for mortgage loans.

There are a number of things you, as a prospective homebuyer, can do to raise your credit score.  Such tactics include making sure you're current on payments, keep your balances low on revolving credit card accounts (higher balances will lower your score), avoid making major purchases while applying for a mortgage, connect with your agent's preferred mortgage lender to find the best package for your financial circumstances and, finally, watch out for imposter sites. Be sure to check with your real estate agent for certified credit report companies during this process.

Tips on Home Buying

by Nancy Heim-berg

Buying a home is a time filled with many emotions, questions, a little stress, and plenty of excitement. To make your house hunt go smoothly follow these tips on home buying:

  • Buy a home that you can afford. The best way to determine what price range you should shop in is to get pre-approved. A pre-approval means that a financial institution has looked at your employment, income, credit history and debt to determine your credit worthiness. While a pre-approval is not the final word in the financial aspects of your home ownership, you can feel confident shopping within the range that your financial institution provides. With that said, it is also wise to look slightly above your range. This sometimes means that you can get a better house with more amenities for a decent price. Even if your real estate agent isn't able to negotiate a lower price, every $1,000 only adds $6 - $7 to your monthly mortgage payment.
  • Do your homework before putting in an offer. Knowing a little bit about the market, the neighborhood and the surrounding homes can help you make a better decision. For example, you may want to buy a home in a great school district. Since this is an important factor to many people, homes in an area with a strong school district have a better resale value.
  • Insist on a home inspection. Most homebuyers are in the home on one to three occasions for approximately 30 minutes each time prior to putting in an offer. Not only is that not enough time to completely assess the home, most people are unaware of what items are crucial to look at. Hiring a licensed inspector helps to ease the fears of hidden concerns by performing a thorough examination. The inspector will look at all of the mechanical systems and structural components in the home.

While purchasing a home can be filled with anxious moments, having a real estate professional and using the tips on home buying can save you the stress of going in uninformed and under-represented. The joys of home ownership are definitely worth taking the time to study and select the right people to help you through every step of the process. Welcome home will soon become your favorite phrase!

Automated Email Home Searches

by Nancy Heim-berg

In the past, buyers who were interested in finding just the right home had to look through hundreds of listings in order to narrow down their search. That’s no longer the case, as automated email home searches can show people homes that have all the right features at a price that is within their budget.

By entering some basic information in an online form, one can easily activate automated email home searches. Users can then select from a number of different home features including location, property type, price range, number of bedrooms, and number of bathrooms. The system will then look through all the available listings in order to find ones that meet these criteria. Information about these listings is then sent to that person’s email address so that he or she can immediately see data concerning suitable properties.

After the initial email, follow-up emails are sent every morning. These emails provide information about any newly listed property, as well as any existing ones that have had price reductions. Potential buyers can always stay up-to-date with the latest offerings without having to constantly perform new data searches in order to obtain it.

Data can be modified at any time in order to change search results. Each time information is changed, new listings are sent reflecting these changes.

Automated email home searches are free and do not obligate consumers in any way. Many people find this service helps them streamline the home-buying process by allowing them to obtain information about new listings sooner than they would have otherwise. Those in the Omaha, Nebraska area are encouraged to take advantage of automated email home searches by signing up today.
