🏡 Weekly Omaha Home Listings: Best New & Coming Soon Homes Under $300K | April 25, 2025
Assume nothing — the Omaha market continues to shift. This week’s handpicked homes hint at something we haven’t seen in a while: signs of a balanced real estate market. But what does that actually mean?
In a balanced market, neither buyers nor sellers hold all the cards. Top-tier homes — the ones that check all the boxes on price, style,
and condition — can still get multiple offers and sell over asking. But that’s no longer the market-wide norm. Many listings are taking longer, and pricing strategy matters more than ever.
🧭 What’s Ahead: ︎⬆️ Understanding the Market ︎ ➡️ Best Homes for Sale Around $300K ➡️ Exclusive Coming Soon Listings
︎ ➡️ Buyer Poll of the Week ︎ ➡️ Omaha Market Snapshot
👋Welcome to all our new readers!
Each week I handpick 3+ of the best new homes to the market around $300,000, along with notable coming soon listings you won’t find on Zillow. These aren’t just any listings — they’re personally selected for condition, location, price, and overall value.
This week, I put in the work to stay under $300K. As you may know, that's no small feat in today's market. Here are this week's featured

Buyer
Poll of the Week
As the
Omaha market continues to shift toward balance, buyers are adjusting their
strategies. This week’s poll question:
Which
matters most to you right now as a buyer?
✅ A
better deal — even if the home needs work
✅ A
move-in ready home — even if it costs a little more
✅
The perfect location — no compromises on where
✅ The
right timing — when my personal situation lines up
What
I’m Seeing in the Market:
While this isn't
a formal survey, here’s what I’ve observed based on buyer behavior,
conversations, and showing activity:
- Move-in ready homes continue
to attract the most attention and strongest offers — especially when
they’re priced well and photo-ready. - Deal-focused buyers are
still active, but inventory under $300K often requires trade-offs in
condition, layout, or location. - Location-first buyers are
more selective and typically anchored by schools, lifestyle needs, or
commute times. - Timing-focused buyers tend
to be watching rates or planning around key life transitions — and may not
be ready to act unless the right home aligns with the right timing.
Why
This Matters:
Understanding
how other buyers approach the market can help you sharpen your strategy —
whether you're aiming to compete, negotiate, or time your purchase more
effectively.
📊 Omaha Market Snapshot
- Mortgage
rates are trending slightly downward — hovering around 6.76% - Inventory
growth slowed slightly this week (welcome to May!) - Buyer
behavior remains selective: many are holding out for the
"perfect" home, while great value homes still move fast
