Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).

Inventory in Jefferson County has thinned out over the past year, with active listings down more than 40 percent even as August showed a small month-over-month uptick to 23 homes on the market. Contract activity has cooled notably, as homes sold dropped sharply from July and are down nearly 80 percent year over year, while pending sales are also running about one-third below last year despite a recent monthly bump.

Pricing is adjusting to this slower pace, with the typical home value in August up modestly from a year ago but down substantially from July. Sellers are often having to negotiate, as the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped to about 89 percent and no homes closed above asking in August after a handful did earlier in the year.

Time on market underscores the shift, with the median days on market jumping to 140 in August, up dramatically from July and roughly 70 percent higher than a year ago. Months of supply has surged to nearly 19, far above Nebraska’s statewide level of about two and a half months and consistent with the county’s rating as a buyer’s market, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate these conditions.

“My husband was here in az, while I stayed back to get our house ready to sell in the other state. He was unfortunately dealing with an incompetent realtor at the time. I decided because we had not made any contracts with this person, that I would reach out to Lisa. With in a day or so she found my dream home and worked with my mortgage company to make this deal happen and never put pressure on me knowing I was by myself fixing and selling our home in another state. She noticed the roof on the house needed to be fixed after a disclosure from the seller and negotiated the new roof. She also looked into the solar and found out the solar was paid for, come to found out the seller and their realtor didn't even know. It was all the little things she was concerned about for us as her buyers that made us feel at ease. And she continues to support us with the house two weeks later making sure the solar was done right and even purchased batteries for the water system we have. Love her!!!”

“Julia helped us buy our home, and we’re so glad we worked with her! We really appreciated the little things she took the time to explain, like what to look out for with home insurance, how to handle property taxes, and when to check our builder’s warranty. Some of it was stuff we wouldn’t have even thought to ask about. There’s already so much to figure out when buying a house, so having someone looking out for us made a difference. She also made it clear that we could still reach out with questions after closing, which meant a lot. Thank you, Julia, for all your help with our new home! We’d definitely recommend working with her.”

“After trying a different realtor and coming up dry, Brent was a cold drink on a hot Texas day. We are new to the DFW area, and we knew our house purchasing limits could make finding a house quite difficult. Brent listened to our situation and didn't hesitate to provide quality service, even if it meant we weren't going to bring him a substantial commission. We were especially thankful for his knowledge and thoroughness in writing up our first offer for a house (that we ended up not purchasing) and for including an option clause we didn't know we needed to ask for. The next day, we found a different house that was a better fit for our family and because of that option clause, we could make an offer on the second and, if accepted, pull out of the first house. We did, and Brent was there, helping us walk through the process the whole time. We appreciate his professionalism as well as his relatability. Highly, highly recommend working with him!”

“I had a great experience working with my real estate agent to sell my home. He made the entire process so much easier and was always there whenever I had questions or needed help. He kept me informed throughout the whole process, was professional, knowledgeable, and truly worked hard to get my house sold. Selling a home can be stressful, but having someone you trust guiding you through it makes such a difference. I really appreciated everything he did for me and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“Right from the very beginning, Shawnai was extremely respectful, attentive to our needs and wants, and eager to help find us the home for us. She displayed top notch professionalism, and willingness to work around our schedules. Often times later in the days, including Sunday's, which was critical for us to see many of the homes that came our way. Maintained a great attitude and kept our spirits up until the right home came our way. Will be recommending, absolutely great!”

“Words seem inadequate to describe how grateful we were to have Susan as our realtor. She truly went above and beyond in every single aspect. As first time home buyers having someone who is trustworthy in your corner is priceless, and that is exactly what Susan was to us. Her work ethic is unmatched, no matter the time or day she was always responding to any questions we had, reaching out with updates, and making it feel like we were her one and only and most important client. I'm not sure if she ever takes a day off! The entire process of buying our first home will now forever remain as a positive and joyful memory for us, and we owe that to Susan.”

“Working with Tracy Thomas didn’t just feel like working with a real estate agent—it felt like having a trusted friend in our corner through one of the biggest moments of our lives. From our very first conversation, Tracy listened closely to what we actually wanted instead of just pushing listings our way. When the process got stressful or unexpected hurdles popped up, she kept us completely calm, explained every detail in plain English, and anticipated our next steps before we even had to ask. We truly wouldn't be in our dream home today without her care, patience, and dedication. Tracy is a realtor who treats you like family and goes above and beyond. Thank you for everything, Tracy. We look forward to working with you on other projects in the near future.”

“If we could give Seb and Dariusz more than five stars, we would! We’ve known Seb for years through the Air Force, where he retired as a Chief from our career field, so choosing him when we PCS’d to San Antonio was a no-brainer. They were amazing throughout the entire process. One thing that really stood out was discovering that the greenbelt we thought would remain behind our new home could eventually have a road running through it. We never would have known to look for that, but they made sure we had all the information so WE could decide if it was a deal breaker. It never felt like they just wanted to close a sale. Dariusz was constantly on top of paperwork, appointments, and keeping everything moving. He even went down the rabbit hole researching home warranty companies for us! We absolutely LOVE our new home and would recommend Seb and Dariusz all day long!”

“Our estate home in Scripps Ranch, San Diego was on the market with another realtor from March through June this year We really liked that realtor, but the home did not sell External economic conditions made it very difficult to sell homes in Scripps Ranch priced in the 1.8 to $2,000,000 category We had known Chad since before our home went on the market, but did not choose him as the listing agent initially After our contract with our agent expired, we had Chad list our home, and he sold it in 10 days! His professionalism, sensitivity to our needs, and market understanding are absolutely second to none Chad connected us with his corporate EXP marketing network and conducted all showings and communication with prospective buyers and agents personally In addition to being a licensed real estate agent, Chad is a certified financial planner with an MBA in business We're happy to recommend Chad without reservation and are confident he will perform exceptionally for you and he has for us”
