Nebraska housing market

What this means

• Valuation. Prices are 35% above what local incomes have historically supported (this area's pre-2020 price-to-income ratio).
• Prices. Home values are up 3.1% over the past year (U.S.: +1.2%).
• Supply. There are 12% more homes for sale than the 2017-19 norm and rising (+6% vs. a year ago), so buyers have more to choose from than before the pandemic.
• Negotiating. Buyer leverage is low (33/100; U.S.: 54): homes sell for about 1.3% below their final list price; 18% of listings had a price cut (U.S.: 26%).
• Affordability. A mortgage on the typical home takes 31% of the median household income (U.S.: 35%); it takes about $80k a year to keep the payment at 30% of gross pay. That includes about $2,360 a year for home insurance (U.S.: $1,790).
• Disaster risk. FEMA expects about $150 a year in natural-disaster damage per $100k of building value (U.S.: $155), mostly from flooding.
• Outlook. Leaning up: likely −4% to +10% over the next 12 months (79% chance of a rise).
