Connie Watts - Omaha Homes for Sale / Offutt AFB Homes, 402-880-9027

I've found THE BEST massage therapist in the WORLD and she's located right here in Omaha, Nebraska! I can't believe I'm actually going to share this and take the chance she gets too busy to see me. But I have to because the world need to know there is someone out there that does terrific bodywork and can help relieve pain.

I'm going to have to share with you a few boring details so you will fully understand how AWESOME Tara Thompson, with Downtown Omaha Massage is. So hang in for just a minute.

Ten years ago I injured my shoulder. I was stretching my arms overhead, if you can believe it. Unfortunately, I was out of the country and so I painfully endured the injury for three days until I returned home. My shoulder hurt so much I was unable to use my right arm. My roommate had to help me dress and when walking I had to tuck my arm in my jacket pocket or at the waist of my jeans because how painful it was for my arm to just hang.

Two orthopedic doctor diagnosed me with myofascial injuries and snapping scapula. Surgery wasn't required, just physical therapy. I ended up doing physical therapy annually, for the first few years because I wasn't getting better.

I did eventually get better. However, as I get older I find I carry stress in my shoulders, especially that shoulder. Combine that with "mouse shoulder" and I find I have a regular ache/pain in my shoulder that I can't relieve. For several years I've tried different massage therapists but no one could relieve it. Now I find the pain is growing to include my neck and head.

It took Tara no more than 4 visits to relieve my shoulder pain. She works to loosen up my neck muscles, which are all tight from my shoulder muscles pulling on them. Then she works the shoulder muscles in a way that I've never had done before. One of the way is by working those muscles in the underarm. She also works the muscles underneath the breast by working pressure points on the side of the chest.

Tara introduced me to a new technique I'd never heard of called cupping, also known as negative pressure massage. I think that's my favorite because it is so effective. Cupping is where suction is created to loosen up the muscles. The cups can be left stationary or you can do sliding cups, where the cup is moved up and down the muscles. I know there are a lot of other health benefits for this technique, but I don't remember them all. I just know I don't ache anymore. Be sure and ask Tara about cupping when you call.

I highly recommend Tara Thompson with Downtown Omaha Massage. She is a friendly, caring person who obviously enjoys what she does and is very good at it. She offers a variety of services, such as ear candling, Gua Sha, Aromatherapy Wraps, and Mud Wraps... just to name a few. Give her a call at 706-7398 or check her out on the web.

I discovered this adorable mailbox while showing homes today. Enjoy!

Speechless Sunday!

Did you know that there are currently 5067 Omaha homes for sale in Nebraska? Do you know what these means for Omaha Home Sellers and Home Buyers?

Months on inventory determines if it is a buyer's market or a seller's market. The data tells us how long it will take the sell the existing inventory of homes that are currently on the market, provided no other homes come available.

Currently, in Omaha Nebraska:

5067 homes on the market / 770 sold in the last month

= 6.58 month inventory of Omaha Nebraska homes for sale

5067 homes may seem like a lot of Omaha Homes for Sale but considering there were almost 1000 more homes on the market a year ago, tells me the market is STARTING to even out.

Another important number to look at is the number of pending homes. We currently have 1160 pendings in the Omaha Nebraska market. The number of pending homes hasn't been this high since November 2007!

January 2009 - 655 Pendings

December 2008 - 526 Pendings

August 2008 - 945 Pendings

Overall, I think the market is starting to level out and am very encouraged about the high number of pendings and much lower home inventory on hand.

I have a buyer looking a ONE YEAR RENTAL. One will commute to Omaha, the other to Lincoln so they'd something in the middle for both. Home should have AC and all appliances included. Rent must be less than $1,400 / month.

3 Bed, 2 bath, 3 car garage

An acreage with an outbuilding would be ideal as they have a tractor and trailors to park on the property.

Please let me know if you have a rental that meets their criteria or know of someone who does. I can be reached at 402-880-9027.
