Decoding the Big O: Meet Mason Fetterer
Welcome. If you’ve ever looked at a new construction site in Omaha and wondered, “Wait, does the market actually support that?”—you’re in the right place.
I’m Mason Fetterer, a local urban analyst, data enthusiast, and real estate market oracle dedicated to peeling back the layers of the Omaha metropolitan area. In a world of surface-level headlines and “sold” signs, I dive into the spreadsheets and zoning maps to find out what’s actually happening in our backyard.
What I Do
I occupy the intersection of hard data and community impact. My work focuses on translating complex urban trends into actionable insights for neighbors, investors, and policymakers alike.
- Urban Analysis: Examining how our city breathes, grows, and moves. From transit-oriented development to the evolution of our historic neighborhoods.
- Real Estate Forecasting: Using historical trends and current inventory data to predict where the Omaha market is headed—not just where it’s been.
- Data Storytelling: Numbers are boring until they tell a story. I transform raw statistics into clear, visual narratives that explain the “why” behind the “what.”
- Public Advocacy: I believe an informed public is the foundation of a better city. My blog serves as a free resource to keep Omaha residents ahead of the curve.
Why It Matters
Omaha is at a pivotal point in its history. Between massive downtown revitalizations and the steady expansion of the suburban fringe, the “State of Affairs” in our city is changing weekly.
I started this blog because I saw a gap between the technical reports sitting on city desks and the conversations happening at local coffee shops. My mission is to bridge that gap with clarity, candor, and cold, hard data.
“To understand a city, you have to look past the skyline and into the data that built it.”
Let’s Connect
Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer trying to time the market, a developer looking for an analytical edge, or just a proud Omahan who cares about the future of our streets, I’m glad you’re here.
