The market is sitting at a 5.9-month absorption rate — which puts us in balanced-to-slight-seller’s-market territory. That’s actually healthy for everyone. Sellers are still getting 99.3% of their asking price and the median sale price hit $309K. Homes aren’t flying off the shelves in 3 days anymore, but the median days on market is 18 — that’s still fast.

Here’s the thing though: 29.5% of homes needed at least one price cut before selling. That tells you overpriced homes are sitting and getting ignored. Price it right from day one and you’re in great shape. Price it wrong and you’re chasing the market down.

For buyers, there’s finally a little more breathing room. Zip codes like 68028 and 68133 are showing 14-15 months of inventory — meaning you have real negotiating power there. But don’t sleep on it. The hottest zip codes like 68002 and 68154 are still moving in under 8 days with zero wiggle room.

Bottom line: This is a market that rewards strategy on both sides. The data matters more than ever — and knowing which zip code you’re in changes everything.
