If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in the Omaha area, it’s important to understand one key market indicator: Days on Market (DOM).
DOM refers to the average number of days a property stays on the market before an offer is accepted. It’s a great way to gauge market speed and demand — and it can vary based on price, construction status, and property type.
The graphic above (sourced from Great Plains Regional MLS, June 2025) compares the rolling 12-month average DOM for June 2025 to June 2024, revealing some important trends:
📊 1. DOM by Price Range
- $129,999 or Less: No change — 20 days both years.
- $130,000 to $185,999: DOM increased from 14 to 19 days (+35.7%).
- $186,000 to $288,999: DOM rose from 11 to 16 days (+45.5%).
- $289,000 or More: From 27 to 34 days (+25.9%).
🔍 What this means: Homes across all price ranges (except the lowest) are sitting on the market longer. This suggests that buyers are being more selective, possibly due to interest rate sensitivity, economic factors, or increased inventory.
🏗️ 2. DOM by Construction Status
- New Construction: Increased from 61 to 82 days (+34.4%).
- Existing Homes: Up from 13 to 16 days (+23.1%).
🔍 What this means: New construction homes are experiencing the biggest jump in market time. This could be due to pricing, customization timelines, or greater buyer caution. Existing homes remain in higher demand but are still taking slightly longer to sell.
🏡 3. DOM by Property Type
- Single Family Homes: From 19 to 25 days (+31.6%).
- Condos/Villas: From 36 to 42 days (+16.7%).
🔍 What this means: Condos and villas continue to take longer to sell than single-family homes, though both saw increased DOM. This reflects a slightly more balanced market — shifting from the ultra-fast pace of recent years.
🧭 Key Takeaways for Buyers and Sellers
- Buyers: You may have a little more breathing room to make decisions — homes aren’t moving quite as fast. But attractive properties still go quickly, so stay pre-approved and ready to act.
- Sellers: The market is still strong, but it’s crucial to price appropriately, stage effectively, and work with a Realtor® you trust to position your home strategically.
A home that’s priced right and marketed well can still move quickly — even in a shifting market.
