Are you working with an agent? I'm with Keller Williams. I'd be happy to advise you on market conditions in the area.We've definitely got our eyes on that one watching the price!
I wouldn’t expect material prices coming down any time sooner than 18-24 months, manufacturing break even price on 7/16 osb was about 4-5 dollars, and retail was 8-12 just a year ago, now approximately 45-50 a sheet. As a business, would you turn down those profits or would you keep rolling until market demands forced you to lower prices? As a builder, it’s insane what has happened with home prices, a house that use to cost 300-325(nothing fancy) now costs 400 plus to build, nobody is getting rich except product manufacturer. I expect a lot of people in the future who built now to be scratching their heads and thinking why did we do that. Hopefully prices do come down to be more manageableWelp, It's a hard knock life out there. Earlier this week we put in one offer hours after a property went onto the market... over asking price, plus offered to pay a pretty decent sized assessment coming due before we would close, plus waived repairs under a certain amount, and apparently we weren't even in the running. SO, still waiting for something else to come around we like, but also looking at future build sites for when material prices come down. The good news is, I did find a good gig already (a much better one than I have now) so it seems like we made the right choice so far even though we're homeless.
I'll admit it, I'm scratching my head now. We got priced out of what we wanted to build. Exactly what you were saying. We'd have to go to 450k to get what we want, but we had to draw the line @400k. Trying a couple other builders to see if we can get in under 4. Begrudgingly looking at existing homes now, may have to just remodel as we go.

It's not just the high end homes though. My dad put in an offer on a house listed at 230 I think. His offer said he would top any offer up to 280. It ended up going for 320 and it wasn't worth the 230 they were asking.I am so out of touch with reality on home prices. Where are all these peoole working? Those house payments would be well north of $3,500 a month...I don't get it. I did not know Omaha had that many great paying jobs. I guess remote working has opened up the flood gates maybe and people are coming from the coasts?
No shit! I live near a country club, the houses are insane and I always wonder how people afford a house that has a mortgage of 5 or 10K a month.I am so out of touch with reality on home prices.

In the words of jack posobiec: get out of cities.Hope youre right. But Biden won Omaha by 12 points, Riots were awful this summer, and I wouldnt be surprised if Jean Stothert is soundly beaten in the mayoral election based on how Biden trounced Trump here. Paypal, Facebook, Google, and other tech companies are importing tech workers here en masse. Only a matter of time before Omaha craters imo.
They make a lot of money?No shit! I live near a country club, the houses are insane and I always wonder how people afford a house that has a mortgage of 5 or 10K a month.
Wow, that's a killer price for that amount of land. Wonder what condition the inside is in.

Thanks. Yep, that one's been on Zillow for a couple days now. Very intriguing price point. Hope our buyer in need is checking out if he wants the acreage life.
I hear you though. We have really good incomes, and we are nowhere near being able to afford a 5-10K/month mortgage, at least responsibly.No shit! I live near a country club, the houses are insane and I always wonder how people afford a house that has a mortgage of 5 or 10K a month.
Nice looking property. I like how in pic #12 they couldn't get their kid who was most likely messing with his phone to get off the sofa and out of the way for the home staging pics. Or perhaps he's a fixture in that spot and they didn't notice he was there.
I was in Bennington this weekend for graduation. Never been there before. What a strange town. Definitely a bedroom community for Omaha. For that big of a school AND surrounding Newport landing etc, very few stores in Bennington. I guess most buy everything in Omaha and then stay in their houses. IF I lived in Newport landing I would too!!!Try Bennington
I own a house a few blocks east of Aksarben Village that we'll probably put on the market in the next few weeks. Side split with an oversized 2 car garage. Nice neighborhood on Pacific in the 260K area. We've had some family renting it and they are moving out of town. 3 bdrm on main. Fireplace. New flooring throughout. New roof and gutters.You'll have to enlighten me. What's an HOL'er?
Interest rates are super low and housing prices are super high! Ugggg!Thanking my lucky stars I'm not involved in this circus. My house is paid for later this year and the payment numbers you guys are talking about make me want to vomit.
Yeah, nothing as far as stores go will ever really end up in Bennington.I was in Bennington this weekend for graduation. Never been there before. What a strange town.

I appreciate that. For us it's too far away from the hospital in Blair, but it sounds like nice affordable option for somebody. That's a good area from what I've seen.I own a house a few blocks east of Aksarben Village that we'll probably put on the market in the next few weeks. Side split with an oversized 2 car garage.

There's got to be some assessments for those roads or the lake, the taxes are crazy in that specific little area.Just saw this one pop up

The area is called Newport Landing. I think it's a "see and be seen" type of 'hood. They have a very nice paved walking/bike trail that goes a square mile around the development.There's got to be some assessments for those roads or the lake, the taxes are crazy in that specific little area.

Out of curiosity, did you look on the Iowa side at all? Just wondering if there's any housing in the Loess Hills area.I appreciate that. For us it's too far away from the hospital in Blair, but it sounds like nice affordable option for somebody. That's a good area from what I've seen.
Hate to say it but taxes probably cheaperOut of curiosity, did you look on the Iowa side at all? Just wondering if there's any housing in the Loess Hills area.
If not, I'll bet developers will get there soon.

We saw that one. Realtor told us to stay away from that area. We're frustrated. At this point would rather overpay for a house we build than overpay for someone else's. We're going to wait it out another week or two. The smartest thing would be to just rent for a year or two, but I'm not sure we're that smart.4778 Sunset Dr, Blair, NE 68008 | Zillow

It sucks not having permanence, but I would rent something modest for a year and get a feel for where you do want to build. Keep an eye on Ft Calhoun too. Not very big, but close enough to Blair and kind of a quiet, sleepy town.We saw that one. Realtor told us to stay away from that area. We're frustrated.
