In this week's "Around Omaha" segment, we visit the beautiful Turner Park at Midtown Crossing for some fantastic entertainment for people of all ages. Jazz on the Green has been a staple of the city for almost 30 years since starting at the Joslyn Art Museum in 1985 - and is going strong to this day.

Jazz on the Green features a variety of acts - from big band and swing to Latin rhythms and funk melodies. The free concert series is perfectly situated at Midtown Crossing, where great food, drink, and shopping are in no short supply. There are also street vendors, stuff for the kids, and a movie theater across the street.

Outdoor entertainment doesn't get much better than this. Bring your pets, some lawn chairs, and a picnic basket for a night of great tunes and wonderful people. Jazz on the Green is on Thursdays at 7:30 pm at Turner Park. The last concert is on August 14, so come on down next week and join in the fun. You don't want to miss it!

We look forward to seeing you here next week! 

June 2014: Omaha Real Estate Snapshot

There are many great Omaha area homes for sale. Click here to perform a full home search, or if you're thinking of selling your home, click here for a FREE Home Price Evaluation so you know what buyers will pay for your home in today's market. You may also call me at 402-957-1116 for a FREE home buying or selling consultation to answer any of your real estate questions. 

Today I will be updating you on the market trends we saw in the month of June. We want to ensure you know what's happening in the Omaha area so you can make sound real estate decisions. Things are looking pretty good:

• The average days on market has decreased by 5 days. 
• The total amount of closed units was 1,273.
• Right now, if no homes get listed on the market, we have 2.9 months of inventory. This makes it a seller's market, which we haven't seen in Omaha for 10 years! This is great news for both sellers and buyers.
• The list-to-sale price is holding strong at 98% - which means a buyer can expect to pay about 2% under the listing price and have the seller cover all closing costs if negotiated properly.
• Finally, we're still seeing strong interest rates, which are between 4.25%-4.5% if you have good credit.

As you can see, now is an exciting time to buy or sell in the Omaha area. For any questions you may have on conditions specific to your area of town, don't hesitate to contact my team. If you have any issues or concerns, I'd be happy to help you out personally.
