Dayton

Located in Montgomery County, this mid-sized Ohio city of 136,741 residents currently shows a modest inventory of just three active listings, pointing to limited selection for buyers in the immediate market. The median home price sits at $180,000, with a price per square foot of $108 and an average home size of 1,433 square feet, making it one of the more accessible markets in the region for buyers working with tighter budgets. The median household income of $43,454 aligns reasonably with local price points, though the owner-occupied rate of 48.2 percent indicates that roughly half of residents rent rather than own their homes. Families with children in the area fall under the Kettering City School District. The combination of relatively low per-square-foot costs and modest price appreciation potential may attract investors and first-time buyers, though the thin current inventory means competitive conditions for those actively searching.
