Dayton real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Dayton real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Homes in Dayton are moving at a steady clip, with a median of 30 days on market and only 6 properties available in March 2026. Contract activity is solid for such a small pool of listings, as 5 homes went under contract while just 1 new listing came on, helping keep months of supply at a tight 1.5.
Pricing is responding to this low inventory, with a median list price of $290,000 and a typical home value around $222,000. Sellers are often achieving strong results, as about 50% of sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio reached roughly 1.03.
Shifts over the past year underscore how dynamic conditions have been, with typical home values reported down 51.99% year over year but up 18.09% month over month and median list prices jumping 41.46% since February. With Dayton’s typical home value still well below Tippecanoe County’s $303,000 level and projections pointing to values near $239,000 and list prices around $332,500 next month, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate this evolving market.

Learn more about what Dayton has to offer.
Dayton offers residents a warm, close-knit community with safe neighborhoods, great local parks, convenient amenities, and a welcoming hometown atmosphere that makes daily life comfortable and fulfilling.
Dayton is a small, close-knit community that offers quick access to larger employment and shopping hubs while retaining a relaxed, residential feel. Located just a short drive from Lafayette and Purdue University, it appeals to buyers who want everyday convenience without big-city congestion.
Life here is centered on practical livability. Families value the connection to the Tippecanoe School Corporation, including nearby Dayton Elementary School and secondary options in the surrounding area. Residents make regular use of local parks and ball fields for youth sports and casual recreation, while broader shopping and dining choices are a few minutes away in West Lafayette. Access to major routes simplifies commutes and supports a range of housing options, from established neighborhoods to newer construction.
Everyday amenities such as grocery stores, healthcare providers, and service businesses are close at hand in the greater Tippecanoe County area, which helps Dayton feel practical and efficient for busy households. Proximity to cultural venues like the Long Center for the Performing Arts in Lafayette and outdoor escapes along the Wabash River adds weekend variety without long drives.
Because Dayton’s market shifts with regional job growth and university demand, a knowledgeable local real estate agent can interpret subtle pricing trends, school-zone nuances, and commute tradeoffs. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with those local experts to keep each move as straightforward and low stress as possible.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Amy had sold a previous home for me so when we began the early stages of just thinking about selling our current home Amy was our go-to. Amy guided us through the steps of getting our home ready to show, when to list and at what price point. Amy put in motion all the behind the scene things that make for a successful sale. Amy walked us through all the offers and negotiations making sure we understood and were comfortable in our decisions. Amy was right there with us from the beginning, when the for sale sign when into the yard. To the end, when the "Sold" sign when on top. I cannot say enough great things about Amy, from her quick responses to her knowledge in the real estate field, she is the best agent!”

“James was totally amazing. He was great to work with. He was respectful of the owners homes that we visited. He understood our needs and desires. We looked at many homes and he was always patient and thuroughly explained things. He worked with our daughter and son in law after we returned to Texas to continue the search. He stayed with them and us throughout the search. When we found the right house he provided insight in to how to craft the offer and used his market knowledge to help us determine the price to offer. That offer was accepted. He worked with us to arrange the various inspections. Those inspections were thurough and gave us confidence that the home was of good quality and in good shape. That was major as we were back home and had not seen the house. Jim maintained contact with us thru all the steps to get to closing. In conclusion, Jim is great at his job. He is personable, respectful, knowledgeable, easy to work with, communicates well, and get the job done.”

“My family experienced a major life event that required speed, precision, and great professionalism. I needed to relocate to Indiana for work as quickly as feasible. We were losing cash with every passing day, and we did not have a home of our own as our plans to build were ruined. Our experience with agents over a period of 2 years was largely bad. My experience purchasing our prior house with an agent was fantastic, but no agents we had worked with so far in finding a new home lived up to the standard of expectation that agent set for me. I told my spouse "working with an agent isn't supposed to be this hard." After another bad experience, we terminated work with another subpar agent, and Nicole was given to us through the relocation program, and she has set the new standard for the professionalism and skill an agent should display. She is strategical, tactful, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and just overall a highly skilled expert in every way. She is the best.”

Kim is an exceptional person, and she treats her clients like close friends. She is available 24/7 to answer questions and keeps clients updated on progress. Kim will work very, very diligently to make certain everything is in order for closing. I highly recommend Kimberly Miller.”
