How the Ongoing LongShoreman Strike is Impacting Real Estate Markets—And Why Omaha is in a Great Position

Well, That Didn’t Age Well!

Just my luck—my leading story was all about how the ongoing Longshoreman strike could impact real estate markets, with Omaha holding steady thanks to its central location. And wouldn’t you know it? Right after I finished writing, the strike ended! Now, I’m left wondering if Costco will let me return the pallet of toilet paper I stocked up on for “supply chain security.”

But here’s the thing: Omaha’s position as a central hub for stable supply chains and logistics is still a major advantage, even post-strike. It goes to show that while the coasts deal with disruptions, our city is positioned for resilience and growth—no matter what the next headline throws at us.

How Real Estate is Supporting Omaha's Small Businesses

Omaha’s real estate boom is doing more than just building homes—it’s creating vibrant spaces where local businesses thrive. New developments, especially in areas like Blackstone District and Aksarben Village, are blending residential and commercial spaces, providing small businesses with prime locations and foot traffic.

These developments offer flexible leases and affordable spaces, giving local entrepreneurs the opportunity to grow. Neighborhoods like Dundee and Benson have transformed into cultural hotspots thanks to the unique businesses that call them home, adding diversity to Omaha’s economy.

The result? A stronger community where real estate and small businesses work hand-in-hand, enriching both the economic and cultural landscape of Omaha.

AlexBeltran Corner!

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions from fellow real estate agents asking how to start their own YouTube channels. And honestly, I think it’s a great move!

Starting a YouTube channel can be a game changer. Not only is it free marketing, but it also strengthens your personal brand and deepens your expertise as you explore topics beyond your daily work. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to connect with potential clients and share your knowledge with a wider audience.

If you’re on the fence about it—my advice? Absolutely go for it. Even if nothing else, do it for your own growth and learning. In this weeks video I dive into it! Check it out!
