If you are in the market to purchase a single-family home, townhouse or condo in the Omaha, NE area, there are a few important differences that you should understand before starting your search. We have listed them below for you to review and hope the information helps you to get a better understanding of which option would work best for your situation! 

Let’s start by first defining what each option is:

A single-family home is a detached house that sits on its own lot and usually includes a yard and/or driveway. These can be single or multiple story houses depending on the area and neighborhood. 

A condo is a unit within a building, or community of buildings, that is owned by an individual. The lot on the other hand is maintained and owned by the management company. 

A townhouse is a unit that sits on its own land yet is connected by a common wall/walls with neighboring units. Townhouses are usually two to three stories. 

 

Features of single-family home ownership:
-Single-family homes are located on their own lot, providing privacy and space from neighboring properties. 
-Depending on the neighborhood the home is located in, homeowners may be responsible for an HOA (Homeowners Association) fee and therefore have to abide by certain restrictions on home exteriors, yard appearance, etc. 
-If your home does not fall in a neighborhood with an HOA, you have full freedom over the look and upkeep of your property.

Features of condo ownership:
-Condo units come in many different styles, sizes and floor plans, and can be part of high rises, cul-de-sacs and anything in between.
-Owners of condos only own the interior of their unit – all other areas (community areas, lawn, building exterior, etc.) is property of the HOA. 
-Many condo buildings feature amenities such as a pool, club house and green areas for owners to enjoy. 
-Condo owners usually pay a higher HOA (Homeowners Association) fee due to paying for things such as pest control, lawn care, exterior upkeep and trash removal.

Features of townhouse ownership:
-You will find many townhomes that are quite spacious and many feature multiple stories. 
-Owners of townhomes typically own the interior and exterior of the unit, including lawn, driveway, and roof. Community areas are not included in ownership. 
-Depending on the location of your property in the row, townhouses can share one to two walls with their adjoining neighbors. 
-You will find some townhouse communities that offer their residents amenities, but there are many that are private and have limited features. 
-Townhouse owners typically pay a lower HOA (Homeowners Association) fee because they are responsible for much of the upkeep of their own property. The HOA will still be responsible for things such as trash removal and certain types of maintenance.

A List Of Poor Habits Homeowners Need To Break

by Nancy Heim-berg

If you are a homeowner in Omaha, NE, today’s blog post is a must-read. It doesn’t take very long to form habits, which can be a good thing when it comes to eating healthy and staying consistent with your trips to the gym. However, with the good can come the bad, and poor habits can start to sneak in as well. And when it comes to owning a home, poor habits can equal a large price tag and consistent frustration. Continue reading below for a few things to pay close attention to and bad habits to break as a homeowner.

  • Be mindful if you are running a dishwasher that is half full as it can waste water. Instead of setting it off with only a few cups and dishes, wait until there are more kitchen items to include. And if you can’t wait, try washing and drying the few items you need by hand. 
  • We all know that long, steamy showers can be refreshing and relaxing after a long day. But did you know they can also lead to mold and mildew buildup? Yikes! Try being more cautious the next time you rinse off as it also can waste water and ultimately increase your water bill. If you can’t help yourself and need a long hot shower to wash your day off, be sure to always run the exhaust fan and scrub your shower grout every few months. 
  • Using too much mulch can end up suffocating your plants and trees, which in turn can cause rot and invasive insects to start popping up – a problem no homeowner wants on their hands! Be sure to loosely pack the mulch as this will allow water to properly filter through. 
  • It is easy to be a sucker for a good bargain but buying cheap when it comes to household items doesn’t always save you money, as you may find yourself having to replace items more frequently. This is especially true when it comes to household appliances.
  • As a homeowner, you may think that each corner of your home has the potential to store something – anything really – and before you know it clutter starts to accumulate everywhere you turn. It can be easy to justify keeping items you may think you will need down the road, but all that does is add to the ever-expanding piles. If you haven’t used an item in six months to a year, it may be time to let it go.
