Great News & Seller Tips for the Omaha Housing Market

Despite the negative national press on the housing market, you'll be happy to hear Omaha is doing much better than most of the country! In my opinion things are slowly beginning to level out. The over-supply of new construction "spec homes" has been dissipating. This is resulting in less competition for "re-sale" homes.

This leads me to a very important point, what must a seller do in this "buyer's" market to sell their home? Two simple answers;

1) STAGE your home. The "Husker Home Finders" have a professional stager on staff to make sure your home outshines the competition. EVERY one of our listing clients receives this service, on us. You'll be competing with hundreds of homes with similar comparables and pricing - we need to make sure yours stands out in the crowd!

2) Be COMPETITIVE. In this market, no one knows the "perfect price". If they say they do, be leery. Things have changed. You can't just pick a price and wait for a buyer to knock on your door anymore - we have to be pro-active. We look at the competition - other homes buyers will walk thru the same day they see yours. We choose a price we think will be competitive, then we "test" the market. We gauge the number of e-showings by checking website hits. We get feedback from the agents showing the home. We constantly evaluate the market to include new competition and what the buyers who passed us by purchased so we know where we stand and can adapt.

Our team has a very detailed plan that works and makes sense. If you'd like more information on the market, or preparing your home for sale, please contact us - or visit our new Seller Page.
