Strong Buyer Demand Continues Across the Dayton Region
As we close out June, the numbers tell an interesting story. While the pace of completed sales eased compared to last year, buyer demand remains healthy, inventory is still limited, and well-prepared homes continue to attract serious buyers.
One of the advantages of reviewing market data as it becomes available is that it provides a more current snapshot of what’s happening than waiting for monthly recap reports released weeks later. That allows us to better understand today’s market—not last month’s.

📍 Montgomery County Comparison
Montgomery County reflected many of the same regional trends, while showing even stronger buyer activity in several key categories:
| Statistic | Dayton Region | Montgomery County |
|---|---|---|
| Median Sales Price | $277,000 | $246,250 |
| New Listings | +7.8% | +15.7% |
| Pending Sales | +17.6% | +28.6% |
| Closed Sales | -9.5% | -4.8% |
| Days on Market | 24 | 22 |
| Months Supply | 1.9 | 1.9 |
While Montgomery County experienced a larger increase in new listings and pending contracts, both the regional and county data point to the same conclusion: inventory remains limited, and buyers continue to move quickly when the right property becomes available.
📊 Tammy’s Market Insight™
If I had to describe June in one word, it would be intentional.
April felt like a sprint. Homes were receiving multiple offers, buyers were racing to schedule showings, and the market moved at an incredible pace. By mid-May, however, rainy weekends, graduation parties, vacations, and the end of the school year naturally shifted many families’ attention away from house hunting.
That change in pace carried into June.
The data reflects a market that has settled into a more typical summer rhythm. Pending sales remained strong, showing buyers are still actively writing offers. At the same time, fewer transactions reached the closing table during June, and overall dollar volume declined compared to last year.
For buyers, this means opportunity still exists—but preparation matters. The best homes continue to sell quickly, often before many buyers have time to react.
For sellers, don’t mistake a quieter showing schedule for a lack of demand. Summer activities can influence when buyers are available to tour homes, but properly priced, well-presented properties continue to perform well.
Real estate is local, and every neighborhood has its own story. If you’re curious about what’s happening in your city, township, neighborhood, or subdivision, I’d be happy to provide a personalized market snapshot and explain what these trends mean for your specific area.
Looking Ahead
As we move into July, summer traditionally brings vacations, community events, and holiday celebrations. While those activities may influence the timing of showings, the underlying fundamentals remain encouraging: limited inventory, motivated buyers, and stable home values continue to support our local housing market.
Whether you’re considering buying, selling, or simply planning ahead, understanding your local market is the first step toward making confident real estate decisions.
Real estate is local. Numbers tell you what happened. Experience helps explain why it happened. That’s my goal.
