Realtors: Omaha Housing Market Is Picking Up

"For sale" signs are still going up, but in the Heartland, they're coming down faster.

Bill Black is an Omaha realtor. He says now actually couldn't be a better time to sell, especially when compared to previous years. He says home sales are up 15% from this July to the last, and not only are there fewer homes on the market, but they're selling for more too.

"My sister lives in a neighborhood south of approximately 126nd and Q streets and her house sold in approximately two weeks," said Dave Norlen.

Norlen just hopes he's next. He's been trying to get a home off the market for five weeks.

Although realtors say the market is picking up, it is changing. They say people want smaller homes, for less money.
