Omaha, NE Homes for Sale — Live MLS Listings & Search

The listings below are pulled live from the Great Plains MLS and refreshed multiple times daily. Omaha is Nebraska's largest city — roughly 487,000 residents spread across 17+ distinct neighborhoods and 30+ zip codes, from historic Dundee and Field Club to West Omaha new construction, with major employers anchoring the regional economy (Mutual of Omaha, Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, Kiewit, UNMC). For the full picture of neighborhoods, schools, and what daily life looks like across each area, the Omaha 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. Omaha's price range runs wide — from sub-$200K starter homes in Benson and Florence to executive properties over $1M in West Omaha and Aksarben. 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.

Why Omaha?

Omaha draws households for some combination of three things: the broadest housing inventory in the metro — from sub-$200K starter homes to $2M+ executive properties across 17+ neighborhoods, a diverse economic base anchored by multiple Fortune 500 headquarters and the UNMC / Nebraska Medicine corridor, and the genuine variety of urban-to-suburban character that no single Omaha-metro suburb can replicate. The tradeoffs — Douglas County property tax rates that run higher than neighboring Sarpy County, older housing stock in much of the inner city that needs careful inspection, and the wide variation in school district quality depending on address — 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 Omaha, Bellevue, Elkhorn, Papillion, Gretna, or other communities, start with the Omaha-metro relocation hub.

Omaha 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 Omaha listings?

Creating a free account on the site lets you save a search by neighborhood, zip code, price range, bedroom count, or any combination of filters, and I'll send new listings that match as they come on the market. Omaha covers a wide footprint — 17+ distinct neighborhoods across 30+ zip codes — so most clients save two or three searches: a tight "must-see" filter on a specific neighborhood like Dundee or Aksarben, and a wider "curious-about" filter across several nearby zip codes. Saved searches beat refreshing manually.

What's the difference between this page and the Omaha city guide?

This page is the active-search page — current Omaha inventory with filters for what matters to you. The Omaha city guide is the editorial deep-dive: neighborhood-by-neighborhood breakdown of all 17+ areas, Douglas County property-tax context, school district landscape across OPS / Millard / Westside / and others, commute realities, and current market data. If you already know you're searching Omaha, start here. If you're still narrowing between Omaha and other metro communities like Bellevue or Elkhorn, the relocation hub is the regional entry point.

Are these listings real-time?

Yes — the MLS feed updates throughout the day, so new Omaha 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 an Omaha home?

For most Omaha 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 Omaha?

From accepted offer to closing in Omaha and Douglas County 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 Omaha 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 Omaha 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 the nearest grocery, the elementary school, and your daily-commute destination, and inspection coordination with vetted local inspectors with my attendance at inspection. The out-of-state buying process is detailed in the relocation hub.

Which Omaha neighborhood should I be searching?

Depends on what matters most. If walkability and inner-city character are priorities: Dundee, Field Club, Blackstone, or Midtown. If proximity to UNMC, Methodist, or Children's Hospital: Aksarben, Elmwood Park, or the Midtown corridor. If newer construction and West Omaha amenities: West Omaha (68118 / 68130), Millard (68137 / 68138), or out to the Elkhorn line. If you want the entertainment district at your door: Downtown or Old Market (68102). If quieter family streets with established schools: Benson, Florence, or the Westside corridor. Most relocation conversations I have land on two or three candidate neighborhoods on the first call — we narrow from there. The Omaha guide breaks each neighborhood down in detail.

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 Douglas 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 Omaha 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. This matters especially in Omaha's older housing stock — a meaningful share of inner-city inventory was built before 1960, and inspection findings on roof, mechanicals, sewer line, and electrical panel are routine.

How do property taxes work in Omaha?

Omaha is in Douglas County, where effective property tax rates typically run around 1.93 percent of fair market value (per recent Ownwell analysis). The exact number depends on school district (OPS, Millard, Westside, or others), whether the home is inside a Sanitary Improvement District (more common on the western edge of the city), and the other local tax authorities serving the parcel. Douglas County runs higher than neighboring Sarpy County — a real consideration for buyers comparing Omaha against Bellevue, Papillion, or Gretna. Always pull the actual annual tax burden on a specific address before finalizing your budget. More context in the Omaha guide.

What if I'm comparing Omaha to Bellevue, Elkhorn, 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 (Omaha, Bellevue, and Elkhorn). 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, property tax tolerance (Douglas County runs higher than Sarpy), and budget.

How's the Omaha 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. Omaha's market also varies meaningfully by neighborhood and price tier — Dundee under $500K behaves differently from West Omaha new construction over $700K, and both behave differently from Old Market condo inventory. For broader context, see the Omaha guide market snapshot. 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 (neighborhood, 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.
