Omaha real estate market sees competitive bidding

Low inventory levels in the Omaha, Nebraska real estate market have helped create a competitive bidding environment.

While the city is maybe best known for "The Oracle of Omaha" -- Warren Buffett -- and Berkshire Hathaway, the city is also home to other major businesses like Mutual of Omaha and Union Pacific Railroad, a variety of cultural institutions plus several minor league and college sports teams.

As of August, the number of homes for sale in the greater Omaha area on the market was down 44%, while the median close price was up 10% year-over-year to $242,950, according to Great Plains Regional MLS.

The real estate group predicted the trend would continue in the fall as mortgage rates remain low. So here’s a look at what you can get with a $300,000 budget in Omaha:
