Lincoln gives buyers something few cities its size can match: a state capital, major university, outdoor recreation and one of college football’s great game day cultures.
There’s plenty beyond football too, including the Historic Haymarket, Nebraska State Capitol, Sunken Gardens, Pioneers Park, Lincoln Children’s Zoo, museums, trails, restaurants and concerts.
But on Saturdays? Lincoln turns red. 🌽🏈 If you don’t have a Memorial Stadium ticket, The Railyard is hard to beat for its huge outdoor screen and watch party atmosphere. Brewsky's Haymarket is another strong choice with TVs everywhere and plenty of game day energy.
September’s median list price was $400,750, up 10% from July. That does not mean Lincoln homes gained 10% in value. Median reflects the midpoint of the homes currently listed.
Inventory increased 17.3% to 900 active listings, while median market time fell to 34 days. Translation: buyers have more choices, but desirable, properly priced homes can still move.
