Year-to-date numbers often tell a better story than any single month—and with 2025 in the rearview mirror, we now have a full picture of how the market moved across Douglas & Sarpy Counties.

Throughout the year, both new construction and existing homes showed resilience in their own different ways.

New Construction | 2025 YTD Recap:
• Closed sales increased 1.3% from 1,816 in 2024 to 1,839 in 2025, despite slightly fewer new listings
• Median prices held essentially flat at $425,790, signaling price stability rather than volatility
• Average prices rose to $482,820, up 1.0% from $477,902 a year ago
• Days on market increased from 71 to 81 Average DOM year-over-year, pointing to a more balanced, less rushed environment

Translation: New construction remained a reliable segment in 2025—less frenzy, but consistent demand and durable pricing. New Construction continues to be a great option for many buyers in the market.

Existing Homes | 2025 YTD Recap:
• Closed sales rose 5.5%, with pending sales up 5.8% - showing real demand and continued momentum into 2026
• Median price increased to $305,000, up 2.0% year-over-year
• Average price climbed 2.7% to $357,370, reinforcing overall price and market health
• Days on market increased from 14 to 16 Average DOM year-over-year, staying in line with the trend of a balancing but demanding market

In plain terms: 2025 was not a year of decline—it was a year of normalization, growth, and activity. More inventory, steadier pricing, and transactions still happening at scale across the market.

For buyers and sellers alike, the takeaway is simple: outcomes in 2026 will be driven less by headlines and more by strategy, pricing, and preparation.
