Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Butler County real estate market. *
July 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Butler County currently leans toward sellers, with a market gauge of 43 indicating sellers still have an edge despite some mixed signals. Months of supply sits at 2.1, a bit tighter than Nebraska’s 2.6 months, which helps keep conditions favorable for those listing their homes.
Prices have moved higher even as listing behavior shifts. The typical home value is about $274,000 and is up nearly 7% year over year, while the median list price has dropped sharply from last month and is down roughly 14% compared with a year ago, suggesting sellers may be pricing more aggressively to attract buyers.
Activity levels show a slower pace but pockets of demand. Homes sold are down over 40% from last year and pending sales are also lower year over year, yet new listings have climbed more than 35% and months of supply has risen from a year ago, signaling more options for buyers without fully tipping the balance. Whether you are a buyer navigating these changing conditions or a seller trying to price correctly in a still seller-leaning market, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who understands Butler County’s trends.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelly, both as a realtor and as a dear friend. She helped sell our home during one of the most difficult and emotional life seasons, and I am incredibly grateful for the compassion, professionalism, integrity, and grace she showed throughout the entire process. Kelly is truly stellar at what she does. She knows the market, understands current trends, and knows how to strategically position a home to create interest and negotiating power. She communicated openly and consistently and navigated a sensitive situation with such care and professionalism. What makes Kelly so special is the genuine heart she brings to her work. She combines incredible knowledge and expertise with kindness, patience, and compassion. Having someone I trusted so deeply beside me during such a significant life transition meant more than I can say. I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly. She truly goes above and beyond, and I am so grateful for her!”

We 1000% would recommend her to anyone who needs help buying or selling a home.”

“Jordan was right there the whole way. It was a long journey for our family. We had to wait to sell the house for various reasons, but Jordan was with us as we prepared. I always felt like she knew our unique situation, while also being in tune with the market in the area and the larger real estate trends and issues. Her being there with answers to questions and great connections for people to address issues that came up helped us more than I can find words for. Besides being personally connected, she was also honest and forthright with reality all along the way. It was refreshing and reassuring. I would highly recommend Jordan for anyone looking to have a positive experience selling a home.”
