Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Dayton is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market even as conditions moderate. Months of supply has risen sharply year over year to about three and a half months, showing more breathing room than in past years while still favoring sellers overall.
Prices in this rolling three-month view are softer than a year ago, with the typical home value down nearly 8 percent year over year. At the same time, the median list price is up slightly from last year, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 100 percent, signaling that sellers are still getting very close to asking prices.
Buyer activity has shifted as well, with pending sales up more than 20 percent year over year even though the number of homes sold is down a bit. Homes are taking much longer to sell compared with a year ago, and the share closing above list price has dropped by roughly a third, suggesting buyers have a bit more leverage. Whether you are a buyer looking to navigate these mixed signals or a seller aiming to price correctly in this evolving market, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Dayton agent who knows how to guide you through each step.
