6. Omaha Single-Family Housing Price Appreciation (2000-09) (based on median values of existing homes sales with outliers removed)* (Also: these median estimates are likely more optimistic than hedonic or repeat-sale price indices) * Based on analyses of the median sale prices of 64,700 arms-length existing single-family housing sales in the Omaha Area Board of Realtors multiple listing service database from January 2000 through December, 2000. The study includes the Greater Omaha community (including the cities of: Bellevue, Elkhorn Gretna, La Visa, Omaha, and Papillion). Existing homes are defined as those with an age at the time of sale of less than 2 years. Sales were treated as outliers and removed from the analyses if their sale prices were less than $20,000 or greater than $525,000, and if they contained less than 350 finished square feet of living area or more than 5300 square feet of living area. Sales that were either condominiums or detached homes, or homes within the 100-year floodplain were also dropped. A total of 10,480 sales were dropped from the original sale database ** Hedonic price analyses based on multiple regression from 2000 to 2008 were reported in a previous UNO study (www.unorealesate.org) Appreciation Rates 2006-2008: +2% (vs -4% from Hedonic estimates*) 2008-2009: -3.6% 2006-2009: -2.1% Range of 2006-09 Appreciation (across zip-codes): -10% to +6%
