Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Saturday, July 12th, 2025. We start today with breaking news. Omaha Police are investigating a fatal pedestrian crash at 10th and Martha Street. Early reports say a Jeep was rear-ended, causing it to hit a pedestrian. The details are still coming in, and police are asking anyone who might have witnessed what happened to contact the department.Turning to City Hall, there’s a recent Nebraska Supreme Court opinion involving the City of Omaha and a disputed contract for city services. The court sided with the city, upholding all portions of the city’s process and confirming that the contract is valid. This provides clarity for city finances and may impact how future large civic contracts are bid and reviewed.In the Omaha job market, salaries for state employees have taken another step up. As of July first, some positions will see annual pay climbing to just over two hundred twenty-eight thousand dollars, which will help keep Omaha competitive for top talent. For those job hunting, check out local postings—several area companies are hiring, especially in logistics and healthcare.The real estate scene is shifting, with home prices in Omaha dropping for the second month in a row. Inventory of available homes has reached its highest level since 2015, so if you’re looking to buy, this might be the moment to start house hunting.
