Average rent in Nebraska
The median asking rent in Nebraska is $1,900 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.
Against an average home value of $249,012, that rent level prices Nebraska at a 9.12% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Nebraska markets.
