Bellevue, NE Homes for Sale — Live MLS Listings & Search
The listings below are pulled live from the Great Plains MLS and refreshed multiple times daily. Bellevue is Sarpy County's largest city and the host community of Offutt Air Force Base — known for short Offutt commutes, the most accessible Sarpy County price tier, and a long-standing military community. For the full picture of neighborhoods, schools, and what daily life looks like across Olde Towne, Central Bellevue, Tregaron, and the southwest corridors, the Bellevue city guide is the deep dive.
Use the filters below to narrow by property type, bedroom count, price range, or new listings from the past week. If you don't see what you're looking for, send me a note — a meaningful share of buyers I work with end up touring a property they hadn't found in the public MLS, either through agent-to-agent inquiries or coming-soon inventory.

Below are the six sub-areas most buyers focus on, with quick links to filtered searches and to the matching section of the Bellevue guide. For metro-wide community comparison, see the relocation hub.
Olde Towne Bellevue
Bellevue's historic downtown around Mission Avenue and Franklin Street — the oldest continuously inhabited part of Nebraska. Walkable to Olde Towne shops, restaurants, and the Sarpy County Museum. Predominantly pre-1960 housing stock with character details and accessible entry pricing. Zip code 68005.
Central Bellevue
The established middle of Bellevue — predominantly 1970s through 1990s residential streets between Olde Towne and the Hwy 370 corridor. Mature trees, family-driven inventory turnover, and the bulk of typical Bellevue transactions. Bellevue Public Schools attendance. Zip codes 68005 and 68123.
Northwest Bellevue & Bellevue Boulevard
The bluff-top neighborhoods along Bellevue Boulevard overlooking the Missouri River and Fontenelle Forest, including some of the largest lots and most established premium inventory in the city. Custom 1990s-2010s builds, mature landscaping, real privacy. Zip code 68005.
Tregaron
Newer-construction development around Tregaron Golf Course in southwestern Bellevue. 2000s-2020s builds, larger lots, and the most active newer-inventory market in Bellevue. Strong fit for families wanting newer homes without the Papillion or Elkhorn pricing premium. Zip code 68123.
Southwest Bellevue
The Papillion-La Vista corridor of western Bellevue along Hwy 370 — a transition zone with 1990s-2010s construction, easy access to Shadow Lake retail in Papillion, and proximity to both BPS and PLCS attendance areas depending on exact address. Always verify school boundaries. Zip code 68123.
Fort Crook & Capehart Corridor
The residential corridor immediately adjacent to Offutt Air Force Base along Fort Crook Road and Capehart Road. Predominantly older mid-century construction at accessible price points, with the shortest commutes to Offutt of any Bellevue address. Heavy military-household turnover. Zip code 68005.

Why Bellevue?
Bellevue draws households for some combination of three things: the shortest commute to Offutt in the metro for service members and DoD civilians, the most accessible price tier in Sarpy County, and an established community with deep military roots. The tradeoffs — older housing stock in much of the city, school district boundaries that cross unexpectedly between Bellevue Public Schools and Papillion La Vista, and a daily life that genuinely revolves around US-75 — are honest and worth weighing.
If those tradeoffs align with what you're looking for, this is your search page. If you're still narrowing among Bellevue, Papillion, Gretna, Elkhorn, or other communities, start with the Omaha-metro relocation hub.
Bellevue Search & Buying FAQ
The questions buyers actually ask when they land on this page — not the generic ones. Answered in my own words.
How do I save searches and get alerts for new Bellevue listings?
Creating a free account on the site lets you save a search by neighborhood, price range, bedroom count, or any combination of filters, and I'll send new listings that match as they come on the market. Most clients save two or three searches — a tight "must-see" filter and a wider "curious-about" filter — so we can compare what's actually available before scheduling tours. Saved searches beat refreshing the page manually, especially in Bellevue's faster-moving price tiers.
What's the difference between this page and the Bellevue city guide?
This page is the active-search page — current Bellevue inventory with filters for what matters to you. The Bellevue city guide is the editorial deep-dive: neighborhood-by-neighborhood breakdown, school district context, the Offutt AFB military section, commute realities, and current market data. If you already know you're searching Bellevue, start here. If you're still narrowing between Bellevue and other Omaha-metro communities, the relocation hub is the regional entry point.
Are these listings real-time?
Yes — the MLS feed updates throughout the day, so new Bellevue listings typically appear here within hours of being entered into the Great Plains MLS. Status changes (active, pending, sold, price-reduced) reflect on a similar cadence. If you want the earliest possible notification on something specific, a saved search with email alerts beats refreshing manually.
How quickly can you show me a Bellevue home?
For most Bellevue listings, same-day or next-day showings are realistic — sometimes within hours if I'm available. Just send me the address or the listing link and I'll confirm with the listing agent. For relocating buyers who can't fly in, I run live walkthroughs over FaceTime, Zoom, or Google Meet as a standard part of my practice — not a workaround. Recorded property videos with narration are also available so a spouse or family member who can't make the live call can review later.
Do I have to use a buyer's agent? What's the cost?
You don't have to, but it's almost always in your interest. As your buyer's agent, my job is to represent you — pricing strategy, negotiation, inspection coordination, contract terms — not the seller. In Nebraska, buyer's agent commission is typically paid out of the seller's proceeds, so there's no direct out-of-pocket cost to most buyers. We'll discuss representation up front and document the agreement in writing before showings begin.
What does the offer-to-close timeline look like in Bellevue?
From accepted offer to closing in Bellevue typically runs 30 to 45 days, occasionally 60 depending on lender and inspection findings. The major milestones: contract signed, earnest money deposited, inspection period (usually 7 to 10 days), appraisal, final loan approval, and closing. I walk you through each step in real time so nothing comes as a surprise.
What if a home I'm interested in isn't showing here?
A few possibilities. It may have been listed in the last hour and is still processing in the feed. It may be a "coming soon" listing held by a brokerage before it goes fully active. Or it may be off-market entirely — quietly shopped, private exclusive, or for-sale-by-owner. Send me the address or the source where you saw it, and I'll track it down through agent-to-agent channels. A meaningful share of the homes I sell weren't in the public MLS at the moment a buyer first asked about them.
Can I tour homes virtually if I'm relocating from out of state?
Yes — a meaningful share of my Bellevue relocation clients buy a home without ever flying in. The toolkit: live FaceTime / Zoom walkthroughs with the freedom to ask "open that closet" or "show me the basement panel," recorded property videos with narration for spouses or family who can't make the live call, neighborhood drive videos covering the route from the home to Offutt gates and the nearest grocery and elementary school, and inspection coordination with vetted local inspectors with my attendance at inspection. Full process detail in the Bellevue guide's military section.
How does VA loan financing work for a Bellevue home?
Most Offutt-bound buyers I work with use a VA loan, and Bellevue is the corridor in the Omaha metro where current Offutt BAH aligns most comfortably with median-priced inventory. VA appraisals can run a few days longer than conventional appraisals in this market — build that into the timeline rather than learning it the week before closing. I work with VA-experienced local lenders who consistently close on time. As a Homes for Heroes affiliate, I can also help eligible service members, veterans, first responders, healthcare workers, and educators access Hero Rewards closing-day savings on top of any VA-loan benefits.
Do you work with first-time buyers?
Yes — first-time buyers are a meaningful share of my practice. The first call is short and focused: your timeline, what you're looking for, your budget (both contract price and realistic monthly payment with Sarpy County taxes and insurance included), and what the next 60 to 90 days could look like. No pressure, no follow-up campaigns. Either you decide Bellevue is the right move and we keep working, or you decide it's not and you have a better read on where to look next.
Should I waive the inspection contingency?
Almost no scenario justifies waiving inspection on a home in this price range. A standard buyer-paid inspection in the Omaha metro runs $400 to $600 and takes two to three hours — a small fraction of the total transaction cost. I attend inspections (especially for relocating buyers who can't be there) so we can talk through findings in real time and decide what to request from the seller. Most inspections produce a punch list rather than a deal-breaker; knowing what's there before closing is what makes the contingency worth its cost.
How do property taxes work in Bellevue?
Bellevue is in Sarpy County, where effective property tax rates typically run 1.6 to 1.8 percent of fair market value. The exact number depends on school district, whether the home is inside a Sanitary Improvement District (more common in newer Tregaron and southwest Bellevue subdivisions), and the local tax authorities serving the parcel. Always pull the actual annual tax burden on a specific address before finalizing your budget — this is one of the most common surprises for buyers relocating from lower-tax states. More context in the Bellevue guide.
What if I'm comparing Bellevue to Papillion, Gretna, or another community?
Then start with the relocation hub — it's the regional entry point that helps you decide which Omaha-metro community fits your situation before drilling into a specific listings page. From there, each community has its own dedicated page on the site, and several have full editorial guides built out. Most relocation conversations I have start with two or three communities on the shortlist; we narrow from there based on commute target, school priorities, home age tolerance, and budget.
How's the Bellevue market right now — buyers' or sellers'?
Market conditions shift quarter to quarter, so I won't list a current statistic on this page that goes stale the week after I post it. The honest answer: I'll give you a real read on what's actually moving (and what's sitting) at the time of your first call, with specific examples from the last 30 to 60 days. The Bellevue guide market snapshot has broader context. For a current focused read on your specific price tier or neighborhood, just reach out.
What's the easiest way to start a conversation?
A short call or a brief message — whichever is easiest for you. Tell me a little about your timeline, what you're looking for, and any constraints (school district, commute target, budget, move-in window). The first call is informational, not a sales pitch. Most of my clients are still in the figuring-it-out stage when we first talk, and that's the right time to talk — there's more I can do for you in the early planning phase than once you've already fallen in love with a specific listing. (402) 841-9698 or derek@nebraskarealty.com.
I'm a Nebraska Realty agent based in the Omaha metro, with a focused practice on relocation buyers, military households assigned to Offutt Air Force Base, first-time homebuyers, and out-of-state families looking for a more livable midwest market. I work the entire Nebraska side of the metro every week — Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, Gretna, Springfield, Omaha, Elkhorn, Bennington, and Ralston — and answer my own phone. If you have a question this FAQ didn't cover, just ask.
Ready to Tour a Bellevue Home?
The first call is short, focused, and informational. We talk about your timeline, what you're looking for, and what the next 60 to 90 days could look like. No pressure, no follow-up campaign — just clarity.
