Every number, with a receipt.

Four promises.

01

We cite every number.

Every hard figure on this site can be traced to a primary source — CBRE's Omaha MarketView, CBRE's U.S. Office Figures (for the national benchmark), NAI NP Dodge's quarterly report, Colliers' quarterly Omaha report, Cushman & Wakefield's MarketBeat, or FRED for public economic data. Where we publish a directional estimate (e.g. per-corridor submarket vacancy), it's labeled as such. Sources are listed in the footer and on this methodology page.

02

We publish the update cadence.

Two cadences, applied honestly:

• MonthlyFRED economic data — Omaha MSA unemployment, labor force, and nonfarm employment — hydrates the ticker in real time from the Federal Reserve. This is genuinely live.
• QuarterlyCRE figures — vacancy, rents, absorption — are curated from CBRE, Cushman, and NAI NP Dodge reports, typically within two weeks of publication. The footer shows the quarter in use and the next scheduled update.

03

We keep a changelog.

Every update to the market data on this site is a git commit, and every meaningful change arrives as a reviewed pull request. The full, timestamped audit trail lives on the changelog — no retroactive edits, no unspun claims.

04

We tell you when we don't know.

Building-level comps, specific suite availability, and private-negotiation terms are not public. Where we have them, we say so. Where we don't, we say that too. The alternative — presenting estimates as hard numbers — is how bad decisions get made.

7.3% or 10.6% — both are right.

For the same Q3/Q4 2025 period, the four major brokers tracking Omaha report metro vacancy at substantially different levels:

That's a 3.3 percentage-point spread on the same market. None of the brokers are wrong — they're tracking different building universes. CBRE's coverage skews toward institutional Class A buildings; NAI NP Dodge tracks a broader local inventory including smaller and older buildings; Colliers sits between. Different definitions of "competitive" office stock, different treatment of medical and government buildings, different minimum-size cutoffs.

Net absorption shows a similar pattern. For Q3 2025, CBRE reports +113,612 SF (positive); Colliers reports −89,841 SF (negative). Same market, opposite direction. This isn't measurement error — it's universe definition.

On this site we cite NAI NP Dodge as the primary metro-vacancy source because it's the most recently published full-quarter Omaha-specific report we have access to (Q4 2025). When we show a single number on the homepage, that's the one. Anywhere a number is meaningful enough to make a decision on, we link to the source so you can see exactly which universe it's drawn from.
