Lincoln, NE housing market

The story in Lincoln this month is stability. The typical home value sits at about two hundred ninety thousand dollars, up roughly 3.7 percent over the past year. That is steady, healthy growth, not a market running hot or cooling off. What really tells the story is how few sellers are having to give ground. Only about 4.5 percent of listings have a price cut, which means most homes are priced close to where buyers are willing to pay. There are around 828 homes for sale, with about 490 new listings coming on, so buyers have some choice but nothing like a glut. Homes are taking a median of thirty-eight days to sell, a reasonable, balanced pace. The median list price is just over three hundred seventy-two thousand dollars, sitting above the typical value because larger and newer homes are moving. If you are thinking of selling here, price it right and you should see solid interest. This is a market that rewards realistic pricing, not overreaching.
