The La Vista residential real estate market is slow, with a slight increase in homes sold in August, and there are signs that the market is picking up. There are 70+ homes currently for sale and 45 under contract. The average list price was $210,000, increasing almost $10,000 over the previous two months and the average sale price was $153,000 an increase of $5,000 over the last two months. New subdivisions opened during 2009 and are offering various incentives to draw buyers into their spec homes.Of the homes that sold last month most were on the market an average of 60+ days, indicating market time is decreasing. The new construction boom still continues to the west of town. The La Vista area is tending to be a Buyer's market, with the strong competion from new construction and the many incentives builders are offering. Seller's need to consider this when pricing pre-existing homes for sale.

About Gary Baumert:
I have been a full time Realtor in the Omaha Metro area for the last 16 years. I ended my 20 year tour of the Army in 1992 and settled here with my family to take advantage of the family friendly atmosphere we experienced here. I have earned several Realtor designations and currently hold the GRI and e-Pro designations. I have been affiliated with several real estate companies in Omaha, but feel my current affiliation with Ashar Realty does give me a real advantage in serving the buyers and sellers of homes in Omaha. Our local presence coupled with a national Real Estate Network Company and our ability to originate mortagages, provide a one stop office for real estate needs. Additionally, our affiliation with other national companies allows us to assist in Loan Mitigation, Foreclosure assistance and Mortgage Acceleration programs. My focus is on the needs of each of my clients. My job is to listen to you and to help you find the home you want, or to help you sell your home for the best price in the shortest time. I intermingle my free time with supporting Habitat for Humanity, and my church. I also like to cook and can probably tell you something about virtually every restaurant in the Omaha area. I enjoy real estate sales and helping families. That has been my goal since I started in real estate, as I know the fears and frustrations that can come with the purchase or sale of a home, ( I moved 12 times in 20 years in the military). My desire is to alleviate some of those feeling.
