Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Jefferson County real estate market. *
September 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 (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Jefferson County tightened notably in September, with active listings down more than half year over year and sitting at just 18 homes. Even with fewer options, contract activity is mixed, as homes sold are up compared with last year while pending sales have fallen sharply, hinting at uneven buyer follow-through.
Pricing is adjusting to this slower flow of new listings, with the median list price down more than 30% from a year ago even as the typical home value is up nearly 50% over the same period. Properties are taking a median of 65 days to go under contract, which is longer than a year ago despite a big month-over-month drop, and the average sale-to-list ratio hovering around 89% shows buyers often negotiating meaningful discounts.
Compared with Nebraska overall, Jefferson County has similar months of supply but operates at much lower price points, giving it a different feel for both affordability and leverage. With only about a third of homes going off the market within two weeks and none selling above list in the latest month, conditions lean toward buyers while still offering motivated sellers room to make deals happen. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics and can help them navigate Jefferson County’s current market.
Jefferson County offers residents a welcoming community with affordable living, abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, thriving local businesses, and a balanced mix of small-town charm with easy regional access.
Jefferson County offers small town convenience with direct access to larger regional hubs. Centered around Fairbury, the county sits within reasonable driving distance of both Lincoln and Beatrice, giving residents a quiet setting with routes to jobs, shopping, and medical services.
Day to day living is shaped by practical amenities. Fairbury’s historic downtown features local shops, services, and dining, anchored by the restored Fairbury Downtown Historic District. Families appreciate neighborhood schools through Fairbury Public Schools and nearby Tri County Public Schools, while the Fairbury Public Library and community events at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds add year round activities.
Outdoor time is easy to prioritize. The Rock Creek Station State Historical Park offers hiking, history, and wide open views, and Fairbury’s parks and trail connections provide local spots for walking, sports, and gatherings. Proximity to larger recreation areas in Gage County and Saline County expands fishing, boating, and camping options.
Whether you are moving across town in Fairbury or relocating to the area for the first time, real estate in Jefferson County can feel complex, from older homes near downtown to acreages and farm properties. A knowledgeable local agent can interpret neighborhood trends, school boundaries, and rural regulations so you can focus on the move itself. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with the right Jefferson County expert to help reduce stress at every step.

“Dallas Thelen was a joy to work with in purchasing our new home. He worked with our busy schedule and was always prompt. Dallas was not only professional but very friendly. He made several reccomendations needed in purchasing a home. We are grateful for his great service and will use him in selling our house in the near future. We would definately referr him to others.”
“We have worked with Mallori before and wouldnt have it any other way. She is amazing at her job and goes above and beyond for her clients. Looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
“I would recommend Jess Jager to anyone looking to sell a house. She was an excellent communicator from day one. She listened to our initial needs, and our feedback along the way, and always had our best interest in mind. Jess was amazing to work with.”
“Sara did an awesome job! As a first-time homebuyer at 21, I didn’t know what to expect. We went through closing while our baby was in the NICU, and Sara helped make sure the deal happened for my family during such a stressful time. We’re so grateful for her support. If you’re buying a home, choose Sara!”
“Brenda was representing the sellers on an acreage property and I was looking for a property very similar to her listing. She spent time answering all my questions at a showing and I was thoroughly impressed with how well she knew the property’s history. She had also worked with her buyers to proactively complete needed repairs before putting on the market - this showed a thoroughness I want in an agent as it would help me close faster with less maintenance to consider. There was another property I was looking at near her listing. She took the time to show me that property and we made open/honest comparisons based on my needs - not what she had to sell. I appreciate that her main goal was my needs not just selling me her listing! My situation changed in the middle of the search and I had to pause - Brenda was professional and kept great communication with me during my pause. Ultimately she sold the gorgeous 5 acre home to another buyer but I couldn’t be more pleased with how she handled my situation with professionalism, honesty and a real focus on my needs/timing. When I’m looking again Brenda will be my first call because I know she’ll get me ready to buy the home of my dreams!”
“Scott quite literally saved our sanity and made the whole selling and buying process seamless. To put it in perspective we contacted Scott on a Sunday and he had our home listed and on the market Thursday and we were on contract by Saturday. First showing had an offer! And closed on the home we bought by the following Friday! And just closed on the home we sold. So we bought our new home and sold our house all in 30 days time. He was so communicative and professional. We couldn’t have asked for more! Moving with two young kids under 4 is not for the faint of heart but Scott made it so easy.”
“Will is insanely good at his job. We only have good things to say about him. We closed on our house a couple weeks ago and have reflected on how easy he made this process, regardless of all the chaos of buying and selling a home. He sold our home in less than 24 hours which secured our dream home we were trying to buy. He continuously works on things in the background and takes care of everything you need and more, before you can even start to stress. If we buy or sell again in the future, William will absolutely be our first call!”
“Scott was super helpful in my first time home buying process. Showed my family sever different houses until we found the right one. Answered every question we had. 10/10”

“Shalle did an outstanding job helping us with the purchase of our home. Her knowledge and expertise is unmatched! We had a wonderful experience working with her! She is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and truly made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We felt supported every step of the way and couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Highly recommend!”
“Mike did an excellent job helping us with the purchase of our home. The process was made smooth and easy with his experience and professionalism. He was understanding and made sure we knew and understood all of the steps being taken.”
“Lara is arguably the best agent I've ever worked with, and I've invested in nearly 100 homes across America. She goes so far above and beyond and is highly thorough and smart. She helped me prepare my property for the market, maximize my sale price, and minimize my days on market.”
“We would highly recommend Justin to anyone looking to sell their home. His expertise, dedication, and professionalism made a real difference, and we’re incredibly grateful for his hard work and support.”
“Max was superb and gave us every comfort of our needs being met. He went above and beyond for us moving across several states and made the process so very easy. We will use Max again in the future as we grow.”
“Keaton is fun, personable, experienced, and knowledgeable! He really made this whole experience a breeze! As a first time home buyer I was clueless about the whole process. Keaton walked us through every step. He really went above and beyond to handle all the communication with correspondents. He made sure all we had to worry about was finding the perfect home! Thanks again Keaton!”
“Nathan helped us sell our home this spring, and he was incredibly easy to work with. His recommendations for service providers for projects to finish up around the home were excellent and easy to work with, and having his vetted list made the final preparations to get our home ready to sell smooth. He really understands the Omaha market and was right on the mark in his assessment of our home's valuation compared to what we were able to receive in offers. He managed the sale process really well for us, including using a convenient showing scheduler system, and we would absolutely recommend him as a Realtor for anyone in the Omaha area! His personal touches during and even after the sale really put him above and beyond our expectations.”
“Tina was a God send, she is very professional and patient. We would definitely recommend her to anyone, we had 3 contracts on houses in the Omaha area and the third one was the charm. She made the home buying experience easy as could be even though the market wasn't being as cooperative as we like but I'm glad she stuck by our side as we continued to look”
“Couldn’t have made the process any easier! Made everything very easy to understand and hooked me up with all the resources I needed and gave me great advice! Very good at responding and being available to meet”
“I got connected to Mark through a third-party where I searched for real estate agents in Omaha, NE. My business is on the east coast and I needed to learn more about the Omaha real estate market from someone in the area. Since being connected with Mark, he has took time out of his busy schedule to answer any questions I have on any land or homes in the area despite not being a client of his. Mark is extremely knowledgeable about the Omaha market and real estate in general, giving me information that many other agents in the area were not even aware of. Mark is the definition of an intelligent and great real estate agent, I couldn’t be more grateful for getting in touch with him.”
“We have enjoyed working with Josh for 9 years now. He has sold a home for us, and handpicked our current dream home!

We trust and highly recommend Josh for an individual, personalized and fun home buying and selling process!”
