When it comes to buying or selling a home, one of the most telling market indicators is Average Days on Market (DOM)—the number of days it takes for a property to go from being listed to having an accepted offer. DOM helps us understand not only how quickly homes are moving, but also how competitive the market feels for both buyers and sellers.
Looking at single-family homes across the Omaha region—including Dodge, Washington, Douglas, Saunders, and Sarpy counties—we can see a clear trend.
✅ In January 2025, the average home sat on the market for 34 days.
✅ By July 2025, that number dropped to just 23 days.
✅ Most recently, homes are averaging 24 days on the market (August 2025), holding steady from July.
This steady decline shows us that buyers are acting quickly and well-priced homes are moving faster than earlier in the year.
Why Days on Market Matters
For sellers, a lower DOM means:
- Homes are more attractive to buyers, often generating stronger offers.
- Pricing your home correctly from the start is crucial, as competitively priced homes tend to sell faster.
For buyers, fewer days on market means:
- You’ll need to move decisively when you find the right home.
- Having your financing and pre-approval ready is more important than ever.
It’s also worth noting the List Price to Sold Price ratio. This month, homes are selling at 99% of their original list price, up from 98% in July. This shows that sellers are not having to make as many concessions, and buyers are willing to meet asking prices to secure their homes.
