Time for out monthly review of Omaha home sales. This month the numbers are not much different than last month's (Omaha Real Estate Market - May, 2009).

Total Number For Sale

5071

Total Number of Accepted Offers

1003

Total Number of Closed Sales

841

% of sellers that accepted an offer

19.78%

Absorption rate in months

5.06

Sales have remained steady, in my opinion, due to the time of year and the first time homebuyer tax credit. Of course neither the sunny weather nor the tax credit will last forever. I'll not optimistic what will happen come December 1st when the tax credit expires and the government is no longer propping up the real estate market.

Information was obtained from the Omaha Area Board of Realtors Great Plains MLS.

As the Fourth of July nears, many plans are being made for barbecues, concerts, parades and numerous family gatherings. Most of the festivities will entail the setting off of fireworks. Fireworks add to the awe and special fun of the holiday.

Because of the fireworks it is a time to be extra cautious. Carelessness can quickly spoil the fun. Adults need to be watchful of small children and only adults should light fireworks. Fireworks should never be used near buildings or dry grass and they should only be used outside. Used fireworks should be extinguished in a bucket of water and water needs to be handy in case of a fire. Also, fireworks that do not go off when lit should not be relighted.

When organizer Todd Skrzyniarz shouted "Illinois!" inside Grace University's teen-filled auditorium, half of the audience screamed.

Some 215 middle and high school students from six states plus Nebraska were at the university Sunday for the kickoff of a weeklong volunteer effort to improve homes in northeast Omaha.

The Mission Omaha Foundation is working with the youths to paint, weatherproof and build decks and wheelchair ramps.

The young people are from Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Colorado as well as Nebraska. The initial meeting began at noon Sunday with a barbecue. The students will work all week in teams of five youths and one adult. A total of 36 crews will work at 32 homes. Each participant had to raise $448 to cover room and board.

Mission Omaha, the sponsoring organization, raised about $68,000 to cover materials and other costs. Most of that came from donations from NP Dodge, Catholic Charities, Rebuilding Together and Brush Up Nebraska.

Mary Rosenthal, Mission Omaha president, said fundraising continues.

Mission Omaha is working with Group Workcamps Foundation, a nonprofit that sponsors mission trips that send teens to cities to help elderly, low-income and disabled homeowners.

The foundation organizes trips throughout the country. This is the first year it has worked in Omaha.

Rosenthal said the effort brings people together to make a difference for people like Michael Fideler.

The 62-year-old Omaha man is having his self-described "blistering" yellow home repainted this week.

"I appreciate it a lot. I mean I can't do much anymore because I lost a leg and I'm on dialysis three days a week," Fideler said.

Fideler said the house hasn't been painted in about 12 years.

The volunteers hit the streets today and wrap up Friday.

Rosenthal said the experience also helps the helpers.

"It gives them a chance to share in their faith, help someone who needs their help and grow themselves spiritually," she said.

Omaha bike riders look to the future as the city makes plans to add 20 miles of marked lanes to city streets. This will allow residents in many areas to ride their bikes to work, the store, local shops, and more. The first commuter route in the Benson area is scheduled to be completed this summer. Other proposed bike routes are at Aksarben, Happy Hollow, Doorly, Midtown, and connections to existing bike trails.

While private donations from the Peter Kiewit Foundation and an unnamed donor are being used, some federal stimulus money will be used for some lane improvements.
