As recently as 1984, mortgage rates were as high as 14.75%! Even in 2001, we regularly saw rates in the 8% to 8.5% range. Compare that to today’s rates near 6.5% and it’s easy to see why buying a home now makes great sense!

In fact, combine these historically low rates with the Omaha metro area’s strong local economy and an outstanding inventory of available homes and you have the perfect situation for home buyers.

And what if you’re a home seller as well? There’s good news for you too. The most recent year-to-date data from the Omaha Area Board of Realtors shows that home closings are up nearly 7% over last year.

That means now is a smart time to get your move on…whether you’re a first-time buyer…or moving up to your next home!
