3 Reasons If You Want to Move in Omaha, NE: NOW is the Time!

Fence Sitting Defined: A person that doesn't know when to make the decision he/she wants to make so rather than make a decision to go forward or back, they do nothing. Just keep sitting, waiting for what they hope will be a gleaming, blaring sign that they should make a move...

I AM YOUR BLARING LIGHT! If you live in the Omaha, NE area and have been considering moving, but don't want to sell your house because you have been hearing all the horrors of the market, and yet you are rapidly outgrowing your house or wanting something else. NOW is the TIME people.

Let me break it down to you...If you need to sell a house, well it should have been on the market in February when we started to feel the pull of an upswing in showings and activity. March, April, May became huge months for those lookers that were out in February began closing on the homes they found.

1. Obama's stimulus package of the $8000 credit, completely FREE money that a first time home buyer is getting after buying their first home has made the buyers creep out of the corners to make their move. It was time to strike. This stimulus only goes until November 2009 as of right now. First Home Buyers are on the prowl.

My house isn't a first home buyer price, your response might be...Really?! Really?! I just sold a $750,000 home to first home buyers...They were both newly graduated DOCTORS. Trust me, there are first home buyers in every price range...While it is more normal to see it below the $200k mark, yes that is true, but the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th home buyers that are getting out of their house to sell to the first home buyer are now in the higher price range and looking for their move up. This stimulus is helping everyone get out and move up.

2. Home prices of homes in Omaha that are for sale, they are still at low prices. You are not going to overpay for a house if you are smart. There are still too many distressed homeowners that have to dump their house, so you can still see lots of options for getting a bargain on the buying...

Let's see, so far we have covered that it is great time to sell because there are more buyers in the market right now than we have seen in years AND for buying prices are still low... And the number 3, but also equally number one reason is...

3. Low interest rates. DO NOT be blase about interest rates...They MATTER! For each 1/2 percent difference that rate goes up, you qualify for thousands less of a home than you would if your rate were 1/2 a percent lower. This means low rates, a fixed low payment AND you qualify for a bigger, better house.

So what in the world are you waiting for??? Get your house on the market NOW...Because in all truth, it should have been on yesterday, as in like a month or two ago! Quit giving excuses and ACT. Now. Stop reading this, get off your bum, have a conversation with your loved ones and start decluttering your house, call me to get a FREE market analysis and overview of what selling your home will entail and let's get a sign in the yard already!
