📦 Thinking About Selling Your Dayton Home? Here's How to Get TOP Dollar.

Before you list, do these 6 things:

✅ Declutter every room. Buyers need to imagine THEIR stuff in your space — not see yours.

✅ Deep clean everything. Yes, even the baseboards. Buyers notice.

✅ Boost your curb appeal. Fresh mulch, trimmed bushes, and a clean front door make a huge first impression.

✅ Fix the small stuff. Dripping faucet, squeaky door, cracked outlet cover — small deferred maintenance sends the wrong message.

✅ Repaint in neutral tones. Greige walls photograph beautifully and appeal to the widest audience.

✅ Price it right from day one. Overpriced homes sit. Correctly priced homes sell fast — and often get multiple offers.

📊 Quick Dayton, OH real estate pulse check — May 2026
Here's what I'm seeing on the ground right now:
🏠 Inventory is tight — we're sitting at under 4 months of supply, which still favors sellers in most price ranges
📈 Prices are trending up — the average home value across the Dayton MLS hit $305,922 in April, up over 4% from March alone
