Dayton Housing Market, June 2025: Prices Up, Sales Up, Inventory Inches Higher

Dayton Housing Market Update — June 2025

Momentum continued in June as buyers stepped off the sidelines and sellers held pricing power. Closed sales rose to 1,412, a 7.21% increase year-over-year. Total dollar volume jumped 19.10% to $458.2M, signaling strong demand at higher price points. 

Prices moved higher. The median price hit $275,000 (+7.84%) and the average reached $324,502 (+11.08%). Homes, on average, still sold at 100% of list, underscoring firm pricing in most segments. 

More choice for buyers. June brought 1,802 new listings (+12.34% YoY). Month-end inventory climbed to 2,092 homes — roughly 1.48 months of supply. That’s more breathing room than last year, but inventory remains well below a balanced market, so well-priced homes still move. 

Year-to-date lens (Jan–Jun). Closings are 4.62% behind last year, yet total dollar volume edged up 0.48% thanks to higher prices. The YTD median is $250,000 (+6.38%) and average is $291,194 (+5.35%) — steady appreciation despite fewer transactions.

What this means if you’re selling

• Price confidently, not carelessly. With a 100% sale-to-list average, buyers are paying market value for homes that show well and are priced on the numbers.

• Preparation still wins. As inventory rises, the best-prepared listings (condition + marketing + strategy) capture the early surge of showings and strongest offers.

What this means if you’re buying

• More selection than 2024, but it’s still competitive at the median. Have pre-approval in hand and be ready to move on day one.

• Value is local. Price trends vary neighborhood-to-neighborhood. Pair macro data with hyper-local comps before writing.

Forward look

Seasonally, July–August closings reflect late-spring contracts, so expect pricing to remain firm while inventory shows a bit more elasticity than last year. The big unlock for affordability and volume is supply; right now, we’re seeing early signs (new listings up, months’ supply up), but not enough to flip to a buyer’s market. Watch inventory and days-on-market - if both rise together into fall, negotiation leverage broadens.
