June is the busiest month. Omaha is origin, then Kansas City. Do not sell a blended Bellevue stay. AirROI's current Omaha extract, August 2025 through July 2026, pins typical listings at about $20,138 a year on 1,330 active rentals. The average night was $207. Occupancy was 37.2 percent. Revenue per available night was $79. Year over year is minus 4.4 percent. Active supply moved plus 19.3 percent. Call Omaha Planning at 402-444-5150. 1819 Farnam Street, Suite 1100. Permits 402-444-5350. Email Permit.Info@cityofomaha.org. City Council 402-444-5520. As of a July 25, 2026 WOWT report, Councilmember Ron Hug was proposing a registration ordinance that had not yet been formally introduced. Confirm remaining August 2026 status at City Council. Do not file a dedicated STR license, a 7 percent city occupancy tax, ordinance O-023-003, or Chapter 55 STR fines as live Omaha law. Those aggregator figures were not verified against a primary city source on this pass. Chapter 43 Article XI licenses bed and breakfasts at $150 plus $15 per sleeping room. It is not a general whole-home STR ordinance. Confirm remaining Nebraska lodging tax at the Department of Revenue. Confirm 2026. AirROI's low-regulation scrape is not the license file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the typical Omaha guest?

Most guests arrive from within Omaha itself, with Kansas City as the next-largest origin market. Average stay runs 6.5 nights, booked about 38 days out. The Old Market crowd, the College World Series crowd around Schwab Field, and the Blackstone district guest are three distinct trips, and a listing that tries to speak to all three at once tends to speak clearly to none.

When is Omaha's strongest month?

June is the busiest revenue month, with May and August also running strong. February is the slowest month for bookings, and occupancy actually dips lowest in January. A calendar built around a June peak, with the College World Series as part of that push, should track the market better than flat year-round pricing.

Do I need an Omaha STR license in 2026?

As of a July 25, 2026 WOWT report, Councilmember Ron Hug was proposing a registration ordinance that had not yet been formally introduced, so there is no dedicated citywide STR license, occupancy tax rate, or fine schedule confirmed as live law at this time. Chapter 43 Article XI licenses bed and breakfasts specifically, at $150 plus $15 per sleeping room, but that's not a general whole-home STR ordinance. Call Omaha Planning at 402-444-5150 or email Permit.Info@cityofomaha.org to confirm current status before you list.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy in Omaha?

No. About 412 listings, 31 percent of the market's 1,330 active rentals, run a 30-night minimum, which is a platform setting rather than a measure of occupancy. The broader market's average stay is still 6.5 nights, and that's the figure to use when describing actual guest behavior rather than listing filters.

Should I hire a manager in Omaha, or handle satellite towns myself?

Professionally managed listings make up 12.9 percent of the Omaha market, meaning independent hosts still run most of this desk. Whether to hire out often depends on whether you're covering Omaha alone or also managing Bellevue and Papillion, since a satellite host paying city-scale management fees for the wrong market is buying the wrong product.

What do Old Market, Schwab Field, and Blackstone guests each want?

Old Market guests want cobblestone streets and a real downtown night, design-forward copy rather than a suburban stand-in. College World Series guests around Schwab Field want proximity to game days and a series-friendly booking window. Blackstone guests want a different, more residential block entirely. Treat these as three separate pitches, not one blended Omaha caption.

Can I use Bellevue's numbers to describe an Omaha listing?

No, keep the two cities on separate lines. Omaha's average night was $207 across 1,330 listings, while Bellevue listings earned about $27,357 last year from just 46 active rentals on the current AirROI extract. Bellevue is a smaller, separate market, and blending its figures into an Omaha pitch misstates both.

Does the College World Series move Omaha's numbers?

June is already the strongest revenue month on this extract, and the 2026 College World Series, which began June 12, is part of that seasonal push. A cited $147.6 million in 2025 visitor spend reflects tournament-wide economic impact, not listing-level occupancy, so don't treat that figure as an occupancy rate. Confirm 2027 series dates before building next year's calendar around it.

What should an Omaha buyer packet carry?

Lead with about $20,138 in typical annual revenue across 1,330 active listings, noting active supply up 19.3 percent year-over-year against revenue down 4.4 percent, a market where competition is outpacing demand growth. Note the pending registration-ordinance status and the 402-444-5150 contact for verification. Keep Bellevue's figures on their own line rather than folding them into the Omaha number.

Where do I confirm Omaha's current STR rules directly?

Call Omaha Planning at 402-444-5150 or Permits at 402-444-5350, email Permit.Info@cityofomaha.org, or reach City Council at 402-444-5520. The office sits at 1819 Farnam Street, Suite 1100. Since a citywide STR registration ordinance was still only proposed as of July 2026, confirm current status directly rather than relying on an aggregator's regulation label.

Work with Crest & Cove Creative

Old Market, Schwab Field, and Blackstone pull three different kinds of Omaha guests, yet too many listings run one generic river-city caption that doesn't speak clearly to any of them. Bellevue and Papillion guests are booking an entirely separate trip on top of that.

Crest & Cove Creative writes Omaha listing copy around the actual trip a guest is booking, Old Market nightlife, series weekends, or a Blackstone block, not one blended river-city pitch.
