By Angela Peters - October 29, 2026
Is Your House Ready for Winter, or Is It Hiding a Few Skeletons in the Closet? Cats and kittens, moms and dads, boys and girls, Halloween is practically knocking at the door, so let me ask you something a little spooky: what is lurking around your house just waiting to haunt you this winter? And no, I do not mean the ghost in the attic. That one pays no rent, but at least it is quiet. I

By Angela Peters - September 24, 2026
WHERE DO I OPEN THE ACCOUNT? I recently wrote about Nebraska's new First-Time Home Buyer Savings Account, which becomes available January 1, 2027. Then I had what seemed like a fairly obvious question: Where exactly do you go to open one? So I started looking at Nebraska banks. And looking. Here is where it gets interesting.

What the hell am I buying...Buckingham Palace YES THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG READ If you’ve ever looked at the payment on an Omaha Douglas or Sarpy County in particular house and thought: “Wait. What the hell happened?” There is a decent chance the answer was Nebraska property taxes. And this week’s graphic pretty much nails real estate: The seller sees a showstopper. The buyer sees a nic

Nebraska Doesn’t Just Need More Houses. We Need the Right Houses.

By - July 30, 2026
But we also need more housing choices—not just apartments on one end and oversized single-family homes on the other. That space in between is called missing-middle housing. Think duplexes, townhomes, cottage communities, accessory dwelling units and small apartment buildings that can fit naturally into established neighborhoods. These homes can make sense for first-time buyers, retirees, do

Relocation Thursday: 10 Reasons Omaha Might Be the Move You Didn’t Know You Needed I have lived all over the country, physically from coast to coast and many points in between.

What I Actually Do Starting at 05:45 as a REALTOR® Most people think real estate agents spend the day being GLAMEROUS driving around in an expensive car, wearing Christian Louboutin shoes, drinking expensive coffee and wine and lounging about the Selling Sunset set! Mine starts in my basement in my little home gym and usually ends with a handshake at a restaurant somewhere between Blackstone

What the Hell..Not All Omaha is the Same Omaha. Let's Talk About That. I need you to stop something you are doing right now. Stop reading national real estate headlines and applying them to your backyard. Your backyard is in the Greater Omaha metro. And the Greater Omaha metro is not Phoenix. It is not Miami.

What Years in Real Estate Has Taught Me About People (Not Houses) Thursdays with Angela is where I step away from stats and talk about what actually moves the needle. After years in real estate, here is the truth: Real estate is rarely about houses. It is about people. People buy and sell because of life changes, not interest rates.

Opportunity Zone what is it?

By - January 29, 2026
What Are Opportunity Zones (No Jargon) At their core, Opportunity Zones are about redirecting private dollars into areas that have historically been overlooked. Investors receive tax incentives for committing capital long term, with the goal of encouraging redevelopment, job creation, and improved housing stock—without expanding government programs. That last part is often missed, but it is
