Should I sell my Nebraska home now?
Now is not a good time to sell your home in Nebraska. Listing prices are plummeting, and with the low demand, your house may get stuck on the market for a prolonged period. As such, it’s best to wait until next year, when market conditions are more conducive for selling. We recommend listing toward the end of spring, as this is usually when the market heats up.
However, take note that local trends may vary, so it’s recommended to check in with a local expert before deciding. An experienced agent will know your area’s trends and can help advise you on when it's best to sell your house.

The best time of year to sell a house in Nebraska
Determining the "right" time to sell your house is somewhat subjective; it really depends on your specific goals and circumstances. That said, if you're like most sellers — i.e., your top priorities are selling high and fast — here's when you should list your Nebraska house.
Best time to sell by location
It's important to note that trends vary from region to region. The table below shows the most lucrative months to sell for five counties in Nebraska.
Best time to sell in Nebraska: Price
Historical data can help you understand when prices in Nebraska are typically at their annual high and low. While each year will have slight variations, we looked at sale prices since 2016 to determine the trends and average prices for each month.
Best time to sell in Nebraska: Speed
Days on market — or DOM — is commonly defined as the number of days from when a property is listed on the MLS and when it's sold and taken off the market.
When a market has a low median DOM, that's usually an indicator of favorable conditions for sellers, i.e., a high demand among buyers. As with sale prices, we looked at data going back to 2016 to determine historically good months to sell quickly.
Top ways to sell your house no matter the time of year
If you need to sell your Nebraska home and it's not the best time of year to list, you still have options.
Sell quickly
You can still sell quickly by reaching out to a cash buyer or, if your house qualifies, to an iBuyer.
Cash buyers can close in a matter of days year round so you don't have to wait for a buyer during the slow season. You can also request offers from multiple buyers to ensure you're getting a good deal for your home.
Compare offers from top cash buyers, plus get an expert realtor's opinion on what your house is worth.
Save money
One of the biggest costs when selling your house is real estate agent commissions. If you need to sell when sale prices are typically lower, saving on realtor fees is often your best option for maximizing your profit.
By listing with a flat fee MLS company instead of a traditional agent, you pay a more affordable upfront fee instead of a typical listing commission. However, you'll have to complete every step of the home selling process without professional help.
Another option is working with a discount brokerage. These are often full-service agents who work for reduced commissions.
No matter the time of year, the smart choice is always to talk with a real estate professional. Clever can connect you with an agent to go over your options and develop a customized sales strategy about how and when to sell your home. The service is 100% free and there's never any obligations.
