Here’s what’s going on in Dayton’s real estate market this quarter.
A lot of homeowners are asking the same question right now: Is this the right time to sell? With everything happening in the market, it can be hard to know what to believe. That’s why I want to share some real numbers and explain what they mean to you. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, this might be the sign you’ve been waiting for.
Home sales are down, but prices are up. In February 2025, home sales in the Dayton area dropped by over 18% compared to the same time last year. While fewer homes are selling, the average price has gone up nearly 3.5%. This means that even with slower activity, sellers are walking away with more money in their pockets. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to list, now is a strong opportunity.
Fewer homes are for sale. New listings are down about 8% from last year. When fewer homes are on the market, buyers have fewer choices. That creates more demand for the available homes like yours. Less competition often leads to faster sales and stronger offers. That’s a big advantage if you’re thinking of selling soon.
“Your home is one of your biggest investments, so make sure you have the right team guiding you. ”
Every neighborhood tells a different story. Market conditions can vary from one town to the next. That’s why we’ve included a breakdown showing the number of homes sold and the average price in each community. These local stats will give you a clearer view of how your specific area is performing right now.
Your home may be worth even more. Charts and averages only tell part of the story. They don’t show the upgrades you’ve made, the size of your lot, or the extra space your home offers. These features can make your property stand out and increase its value, often well above what the averages show.
