Market snapshot (past 30 days)
Prices: Redfin reports a January 2026 median sale price near $260K in 68510 (+8.5% year-over-year). Zillow’s typical home value is about $245K (data through Jan. 31, 2026).

Negotiation temperature: Sale-to-list metrics are near ‘at list’ (about 100% to slightly above), so strong homes can still command firm terms, but buyers may find more room on properties that need work.
