Beavercreek, OH Real Estate Market Update: What Local Sellers Need to Know This Spring

As spring blossoms in Beavercreek, OH, the real estate market is heating up.  If you're thinking about putting your home on the market, understanding the current trends can help you make confident, informed decisions. Here’s a  look at what local sellers need to know this spring in the Beavercreek real estate market.

Spring 2025 Market Snapshot for Beavercreek, OH

• The Beavercreek housing market remains strong heading into spring 2025. Here are some key highlights:
• At the time of this writing there are 72 single family homes (not counting condos) for sale in Beavercreek.
• There are 107 homes pending (under contract) ready to close.  More pendings than homes for sale is an indicator of a strong market.
• 45 homes have closed (sold) in the last month.  72 (homes on market) divided by 45 (homes sold in the last 30 days) = 1.6 months of inventory.  The classic definition of a Seller’s market.  Generally, 5 to 6 months of inventory is considered a balanced market so an area with less inventory than that means demand is higher than what supply can support.  
• Median sale price to list price ratio is exactly 100%.  Yet another indicator of a Seller’s market with sellers getting the price they asked.  The market has softened a bit because in recent years the ratio was over 100% 

What this means for sellers: It’s still a seller’s market. With inventory tight and demand strong, well-priced homes in good condition are moving quickly—often with multiple offers.

Top Buyer Priorities in Beavercreek

If you want to attract serious buyers, it helps to know what they’re looking for. In 2025, homebuyers in Beavercreek are prioritizing:

• Move-in-ready condition - I get asked frequently, “Do I need to do anything to get the house ready?”  If it’s not already in move-in condition you ARE better off getting it there.  Buyers are attracted to the home with the least to do.  Everyone is busy these days including your buyer.  They don’t want to paint, they don’t want to put carpet in, they don’t want to restore the landscaping.  They will pay a premium to avoid those things.  “How about I just give a carpet or painting allowance at closing?”.  I get this question too.  The answer is, you are paying for it anyway so why not do it from the start so you really get the benefit.  “But what if they don’t like the color I choose?”  Not a concern. If you pick something neutral your buyer will never say a word other than, “Wow- this looks nice!”  Buyers can’t ‘unsee’ stained and worn carpet.  That allowance won’t get you the result the actual replacement will.  
  
  
• Updated kitchens and bathrooms - We have a saying in this business and it is, “Kitchens and baths sell the home”.  Why is that?  These are big ticket items no one wants to tackle.  But if they are done and in good shape your house will rise to the top of the list as buyers shop by comparison.  This does not mean it has to be a complete remodel.  Maybe you can boost your home above the competition with new countertops.  Modernizing cabinet hardware can change the look.  Light colored cabinets  are in right now.  Painting cabs and vanities is popular.  Consider having it professionally done. I’ve seen DIY painted cabs that looked worse than before - brush marks, runs, drips.  

• Price it right from the start – Overpricing can scare off buyers in a fast-moving market.  They will skip your listing and offer less the second time around after you’ve reduced it.  Create a scenario where the buyer is afraid of losing it.  Not one where they are  unexcited and put it on the backup list.  If you are ever going to get multiple offers it’s in the beginning not weeks in.  Create the excitement upfront.  

Are Home Prices Expected to Drop?

Despite some national uncertainty around interest rates, the Dayton-area market, especially in desirable suburbs like Beavercreek, is proving resilient. While price growth is slowing from the peaks of 2021–2022, home values are holding steady or climbing modestly—especially for turnkey properties.
