What's Happening?
The Dayton real estate market has experienced a 7% increase in home sales from June 2024 to June 2025, according to local realtors. Despite a decrease in the number of overall sales during the first half of the year compared to 2024, the market remains stable. The average sales price has risen by over 11% to more than $324,000. Kunal Patel, treasurer for Dayton Realtors, noted that the market is not experiencing a downturn, as homes are not selling for less than in previous years. Lower-priced homes are selling faster than higher-valued properties, which is typical in the current market. Patel advises potential buyers to seek assistance from an agent if planning a move soon.

Why It's Important?
The stability and growth in the Dayton housing market are significant as they contrast with trends in other parts of the country where home sales are declining. This growth provides a positive outlook for both buyers and sellers in the region. The increase in listings benefits buyers by maintaining a healthy market balance. The rise in average sales prices indicates a robust demand for housing in Dayton, which could attract more real estate investments and contribute to the local economy. The market's resilience suggests that Dayton may be less susceptible to broader economic fluctuations affecting the housing sector.
