Looking to move to a new neighborhood? Don’t miss this blog!
If you are looking to move into a new neighborhood you understand what an exciting and fun time it can be for you and your family. A fresh chapter brings new experiences, exciting adventures and endless memories that will stay with you forever. But along with all the exciting things also come aspects that you want to be sure to look into before making the big move. Below we have listed a few things that you want to make sure to look into while you begin your search for your new home. We hope this brings you some insight and helps make the journey a little easier and sweater for you!
One thing you will want to make sure to check out are the local conveniences such as the nearest grocery store, bank, and specialty stores. Make a mental note of places you visit frequently and map where they are in relation to your desired neighborhood. This may not seem like a big factor to take into consideration when moving, but you will find it will make a huge impact on your day to day life. Another thing to look into are places such as hospitals, doctors’ offices and pharmacies so you know how quickly you can access these locations in the event of an emergency. If you want peace of mind knowing you have a hospital up the road then you may not want to fall in love with a neighborhood that is far from one.
If you have children, which school district you fall into may be a high priority for you and your family. You want to look at things such as where the district falls in terms of academics and teacher ratings, as well as athletic programs. And lastly, you want to be sure to check out how far you are from local entertainment and restaurants. If you want to be able to bring your children to a local park before dinner time or have a quick date night with your husband/wife on Friday nights, then you want to ensure that you are situated in an area that has these conveniences nearby.

There are those that say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in the world of real estate, a picture could be worth a few hundred-thousand dollars! More so now than ever, it is imperative to have high quality photos that show off all the wonderful qualities and features your home has to offer when listing your house online. Why is this such an important part of the selling process you ask? A few key reasons, but the main one being that many people are turning to the internet to look at homes in their desired area. And having quality photos that show off your home may be just the key to getting more showings and ultimately more offers. Just because many realtors will either take the photos themselves or bring in a professional team to capture the home does not mean that you do not play a key role in how the images can turn out.

With the hot days of summer still in full swing in Omaha, many people retreat to the nearest pool to relax and cool off a bit. And while this luxury isn’t a reality for all, those who can’t get to the pool rely on staying indoors and cranking up the AC in hopes to find some relief and comfort from the heat. The only issue with turning up your AC are the massive energy bills that come your way each month during the summertime. And in case you didn’t know, about twelve percent of your home energy costs is attributed to your air conditioning (according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration). And while these costs can be significant, you don’t have to give up your AC just yet in order to save money! Below we have a few tips and tricks on how you can save on home energy costs this summer.
