Supply Rises as Listings Hit 1,880
Douglas County saw a substantial increase in active inventory this July. With 1,880 homes listed and 652 new listings, supply is up 33.4% year-over-year, giving buyers more choices and putting pressure on sellers to price strategically.
Despite the increased listings, new inventory held flat year-over-year, indicating that longer time on market is driving the higher active count—not a surge in seller activity.
Homes Are Sitting Longer
The median days on market climbed to 50, up 30.7% from last July. This is one of the highest durations Douglas County has seen in recent years and reflects more cautious buyer behavior and a return to pre-pandemic transaction pacing.
Pricing Trends: Stable but Softening
The median listing price is $775,000, down 1.9% year-over-year. Similarly, the median listing price per square foot is $246, reflecting a 2.5% annual decline. These softening numbers suggest sellers are adjusting to shifting buyer expectations and pricing more competitively.
Square Footage Holds Steady
The average home listed in Douglas County measured 3,634 square feet, which is nearly flat compared to last year, down just 0.4%. While pricing per square foot has dipped slightly, total square footage remains consistent, meaning buyers are getting slightly more value for their dollar.
Context from Long-Term Trends
Charts in the report dating back to 2016 show how post-pandemic listing volume, days on market, and pricing fluctuated sharply between 2020 and 2023. In contrast, 2024 and 2025 data show a clear stabilization pattern. Inventory is climbing back to healthy levels, price growth has flattened, and market timing is slowing—indicators of a rebalancing housing landscape.
What This Means for Sellers and Buyers in Douglas County
For Sellers:
-
Expect longer days on market unless your home is competitively priced and professionally presented
-
The market no longer rewards overpricing. Homes priced just 2% too high risk extended listing durations
-
While pricing remains high historically, year-over-year softness suggests sellers must be more strategic to stand out
For Buyers:
-
More options and slower timelines offer negotiating room
-
Slight pricing softening, especially on a per-square-foot basis, presents value opportunities
-
Buyers should still be prepared to move quickly on well-priced, well-located homes
