Weekly Highlights April 17 to April 23 2026

The Douglas County real estate market showed a noticeable shift this past week, with increases across nearly every key metric. Inventory is building, prices are trending upward, and homes are taking longer to sell. Together, these trends point toward a more balanced market that gives buyers more options while still supporting strong pricing for sellers.

Supply Is Picking Up

New listings jumped to 41 homes this week, a 57.7 percent increase compared to the previous week. This is a significant move and a sign that more sellers are entering the market as we move further into the spring season.

With more homes hitting the market, buyers are starting to see improved selection across Douglas County. This can help reduce competition slightly and create more opportunities to find the right fit.

Buyer Activity Holding Steady

Pending sales came in at 205, up 2 percent week over week. While not a major spike, this steady activity shows that buyers are still active and engaged despite the increase in available inventory.

Closed sales also rose to 12 homes, a 33.3 percent increase. This suggests that deals are continuing to move through the pipeline, even as market conditions shift.

Homes Taking Longer to Sell

One of the most notable changes this week is the increase in average time on market, now sitting at 101 days. That is a 146.3 percent jump from the previous week.

This shift indicates that buyers are taking more time to evaluate homes and may be negotiating more carefully. For sellers, this reinforces the importance of proper pricing and strong presentation from the start.

Prices Continue to Climb

Despite longer market times, home values are still trending upward:

• Average sale price reached $407,100, up 17.6 percent
• Median sale price increased to $322,500, up 8.8 percent

These increases show that while the pace of sales may be slowing slightly, overall demand is still supporting higher prices across the market.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers, this is a more favorable environment than we have seen in recent years. Increased inventory and longer market times can create opportunities for negotiation and more thoughtful decision making.

For sellers, pricing strategy is more important than ever. Homes that are priced correctly and presented well are still selling, but buyers have more choices and are less likely to rush.
