Dayton Area Weekly Real Estate Market Update

Market Activity & Inventory

• Pending Ratio: The overall market is highly active, with a pending ratio of 92%. This means nearly every active listing is matched by a pending sale, indicating strong buyer demand and quick market movement.
• Months' Supply: Inventory remains tight at just 1.5 months’ supply, reinforcing a strong seller’s market and limited choices for buyers.

  Properties are selling significantly faster than the average active listing time, showing that well-priced homes are moving quickly.

Sale-to-List Price Trends

• Average Sale to Final List Price: 95%
  Homes are closing close to their final list price, so pricing strategy is crucial for both sellers and buyers.
• Average Sale to Original List Price: 95%
  Sellers are generally achieving close to their initial expectations, but there’s still some negotiation happening.

Segment Highlights

• $200k–$500k Segment: The most active price range, with a 97% pending ratio, 1.5 months’ supply, and homes selling at 96% of final list price.
• Entry-Level ($0–$200k): Also very competitive, with a 92% pending ratio and 1.4 months’ supply, but homes here are selling at slightly lower percentages of list price.

Key Takeaways for Your Clients

• Sellers: It’s an excellent time to list—demand remains high, and inventory is low. Well-priced homes are selling quickly and close to list price.
• Buyers: Be prepared to act fast and make strong offers, especially in the $200k–$500k range. Expect competition and limited inventory.
• Investors/Move-up Buyers: The luxury segment is less competitive, offering more negotiation room and longer market times.
