C Casey, Just Looking in Omaha

we are thinking of selling our home, however it has more square footage and is higher quality than the homes

You have the best advice to get your home sold. Price it for your neighborhood. Buyer's don't like to buy the most expensive home in a neighborhood so be careful with your price. - Yesterday, 12:09
Peter G. Eva…, Home Seller in Omaha

How can we attract more interest for our property? Are we doing something wrong?

Asked Mon Jul 14 2008, 12:02 by Peter G. Eva…  -  Omaha  -  Home Selling  -  15 answers
Billie Atkinson answered:
You have a very nice home. The average sale price for your area is 71K. There are homes less and more than yours. Hang in there for another 10 days and see how it goes. If you are anxious to move the home, than reduce again. I have sellers who purchased new homes 7-8 years ago and are selling below their purchase price. They added fences, finished basements and other nice features with zero return.
So few buyers and so many homes. - Mon Jul 14 2008, 19:14
Presentation on the MLS is your number 1 selling tool. How does your home look ? does it make a buyer want to see your home ? Young buyer's select their homes from the internet. Very internet savy.
No more I can offer without your address to view the home to provide additional feedback.. - Mon Jul 14 2008, 14:44
Great information already. Many would be happy to look at your listing here in Omaha and give you our opinion. Am sure you have a great Realtor ! - Mon Jul 14 2008, 12:24
Todd, Home Buyer in Omaha

I want to buy my first home, but we have minimal savings for a down payment. What are our first steps?

Asked Tue Jul 8 2008, 18:17 by Todd  -  Omaha  -  Home Buying  -  4 answers
Billie Atkinson answered:
Thanks Ken for the response. They are tough here in Nebraska on gifting from a buyer so may be best to consult the local lenders.

Sincerely,

Billie - Tue Jul 8 2008, 21:39
There are programs for first time buyer's. Go with a good local lender to get preapproved. They can recommend the best loan that meets your needs. That is always your first step. If unsure, your Realtor can set up a meeting with a great lender to begin the process. After that, you know what you need and can afford and are ready to go shopping for your perfect home. This is a great time to buy !. Let me know if you need help.

Sincerly,

Billie - Tue Jul 8 2008, 18:28
Laura, Home Buyer in Omaha

is it too late for down payment assistance?

Asked Tue Jul 8 2008, 15:17 by Laura  -  Omaha  -  Home Buying  -  3 answers
Billie Atkinson answered:
I believe you are asking about the required 3% FHA guidelines. Discuss with your lender. In todays tough mortgage market, the Seller can pay your closing costs but not the 3%. - Tue Jul 8 2008, 15:53
Mary Griffin, Just Looking in 95076

What is the rental history for homes in the 68131 and 68132 zip codes in Omaha NE?

Asked Sun Apr 27 2008, 18:30 by Mary Griffin  -  Omaha  -  Market Conditions  -  2 answers
Billie Atkinson answered:
Mary,
If you google Omaha rentals or Omaha homes for rent, there are several web sites with rentals.
If you want to purchase a home, you will need to consider how long you will be here to decide if that
is the best way to go. If you will only be here for 2-3 years, I recommend renting. I can send you a selection of homes if you wish to purchase.
