Both single-family and condominium sales contributed to the month’s growth, with steady buyer demand continuing to drive activity across the Miami Valley.
Takeaway: Even with higher prices, buyers are staying engaged — a reflection of Dayton’s ongoing affordability and value compared to many larger markets.
Year-to-Date Sales Edge Ahead of 2024
After trailing slightly most of the year, 2025 finally overtook 2024 in total home sales by the end of October.
-
Total YTD sales: 12,330 (up 0.1%)
-
Total dollar volume: $3.6 billion (up 5.6%)
The average year-to-date price sits at $293,461 (up 5%), while the median year-to-date price reached $255,000 (up 6.2%).
Takeaway: This milestone marks a welcome shift — despite early-year headwinds, the market regained momentum and continues to trend upward through fall.
Listings & Inventory See Modest Growth
October brought more listings to the market, giving buyers a few more options heading into the colder months:
-
New listings: 1,667 (up 6%)
-
Total listings YTD: 15,749 (up 4.7%)
-
Active inventory: 2,623 homes (up from 2,169 last year)
-
Months of supply: 1.9 months — still a strong seller’s market
Takeaway: Inventory growth is positive, but supply remains tight. Homes that are move-in ready and well-priced continue to sell quickly and attract multiple offers.
