West Dayton’s housing story is being written one closing at a time, and Wolf Creek keeps adding chapters. The newly built ranch at 115 N Williams Street just sold for $270,000, landing exactly on the neighborhood’s 12-month median.
A $270,000 Close Right at the Center of the Wolf Creek Market
West Dayton’s recovery shows up in closings like this one: a newly built home, a price tied to real comparable sales, and a buyer who agreed with the number. On October 2, 2026, the ranch at 115 N Williams Street in Wolf Creek closed for $270,000, just $5,000 under its $275,000 list price. That is a difference of 1.8%, reached after 189 days on the market.
The home was built in 2025 and offers three bedrooms, two full baths and 1,214 square feet of living space, which works out to $222 per square foot at the closing price. It sits in the Heather Sec 03 subdivision, within the Innerwest priority board area of West Dayton.
The figure that frames this sale best is the neighborhood median. Over the past 12 months, Wolf Creek has recorded 9 sales with a median price of $270,000. This sale matches that median to the dollar and ranks fifth of nine, which places a brand-new three-bedroom ranch at the very center of the neighborhood’s recent market. Measured per square foot, it runs well ahead of the pack: the 12-month median is $203, so this home closed roughly 9 percent above it.
A single closing does not make a market, but it does add a clean, well-documented data point for appraisers, lenders and the next seller who lists nearby. Below, we walk through what the buyer got, how the price compares with the closest recent sales, and why a result like this matters for Wolf Creek and the blocks around it.
What the Buyer Got: A 2025 Ranch Built Around Easy Living
The listing describes the house as a newly built ranch with 1,214 square feet arranged around an open-concept floor plan. The stated intent is everyday living, entertaining, and gathering with friends and family. In practical terms, an open plan means the main living spaces flow into one another instead of being divided into separate rooms, which tends to make a compact footprint feel larger than its square footage suggests.
The owner’s suite is the anchor of the bedroom layout. It comes with a spacious walk-in closet and its own full bath, which accounts for one of the home’s two full baths. The two remaining bedrooms are finished with modern-style French doors that open to roomy closets, a detail that gives the secondary bedrooms a little more character than the standard hollow-core door and reach-in closet.
Two more conveniences round out the main floor. The laundry is located there, and so is a half-bath powder room, which sits alongside the two full baths. For a household of almost any size, a powder room near the living area keeps guests out of the owner’s suite, and a main-floor laundry keeps a weekly chore from becoming a trip up and down stairs.
At $222 per square foot, the price reflects what new construction costs to build and what buyers are willing to pay for it. The home was built in 2025, so at closing it was less than two years old. For a buyer weighing a new build against an older house that needs updates, that age matters, because the major systems and finishes are current from day one.
A Full Basement, a Two-Car Garage and Room to Grow
The most flexible feature of 115 N Williams Street is below the main level. The listing describes a full unfinished basement that is rough plumbed for a bathroom and has an egress window, the kind of opening that allows a basement room to be finished as a legal bedroom. The listing treats the basement separately from the 1,214 square feet of finished living space, which means any finished area a future owner adds would be on top of what the home already offers.
The listing suggests several uses: storage, space for family, a business, or a room for a passionate hobby. That range is worth taking seriously. A buyer can move in and use the basement as simple storage, then finish it in stages when the budget and the need line up. Because the plumbing rough-in and the egress window are already in place, the biggest planning questions of a basement project have been answered ahead of time.
The attached two-car garage adds to the practical value. It is roughed in with electric for EV charger hookups, so a buyer who drives an electric vehicle now, or expects to someday, does not need to run a new circuit across the garage first. In a neighborhood with a historic street grid, where off-street parking varies from block to block, a two-car attached garage is a meaningful convenience on its own.
Taken together, the basement and garage give this home more usable capacity than its footprint would suggest. A three-bedroom ranch of 1,214 square feet is a manageable size to heat, clean and maintain, while the basement offers a clear path to more room when a household needs it.
A 15-Year Tax Abatement and an Energy-Minded Build
Ownership costs are part of any price, and this property comes with a notable one. The listing states there is a 15-year tax abatement on the property, with annual taxes currently at approximately $350 per year. Spread over twelve months, that is roughly $29 a month, a figure that is easy to fit into a household budget and that lowers the true monthly cost of owning a house priced at $270,000.
For buyers, the abatement changes how the price should be read. Two homes at the same sale price can carry very different carrying costs once taxes and utilities are counted. A new build with a long abatement term starts with a built-in advantage on the tax line, and that advantage was part of the listing’s pitch from the start.
The listing also points to an energy-efficient focus throughout the home, aimed at maintaining comfort and reducing utility costs. The remarks do not itemize specific equipment, so the claim is best taken as a design priority rather than a list of components. Still, a house built in 2025 is built to current construction standards, and that is the context in which efficiency claims carry weight.
Put the pieces together: low taxes for the abatement term, a newer home designed with efficiency in mind, and a compact footprint that is inexpensive to run. For a first-time buyer or anyone stretching to make a purchase work, the monthly math on this home deserves as much attention as the sale price.
Measuring $270,000 Against Wolf Creek’s 12-Month Numbers
Across the last 12 months, Wolf Creek recorded 9 sales. The median price was $270,000, the median price per square foot was $203, and the median time on market was 122 days. The highest sale in that span was $335,000. This home closed at $270,000 and $222 per square foot, which places it at the median on price and about 9 percent above the median on a per-foot basis.
The ranking tells the same story from another angle. At fifth of nine, this sale sits with four closings above it and four below. A buyer paid the middle price for the neighborhood at a size well under what some of the higher-priced homes offered, and that is why the per-square-foot figure runs higher than the median.
Time on market is the number that deserves the most careful reading. The home took 189 days, compared with a neighborhood median of 122, so it spent about two months longer on the market than the typical Wolf Creek sale. What stands out is where the price ended up: only $5,000 below the $275,000 ask. Over more than six months the list price held, and the final number stayed within 1.8% of it.
That kind of price discipline helps the neighborhood. When new-build homes in Wolf Creek close close to their asking prices, they give the next listing agent a stronger reference point, and they show builders and buyers that the numbers on paper are being met at the closing table.
The Closest Comparables: $335,000 and $325,000 Frame the Upper Range
The most useful comparisons are the recent sales of similar size and price. On September 25, 2026, a three-bedroom home of 1,500 square feet on W 1st Street closed for $335,000, the highest sale in Wolf Creek over the past year. That works out to about $223 per square foot, nearly identical to the $222 paid here. It closed one week before 115 N Williams Street, and the two sales line up closely on a per-foot basis.
The size difference explains the price gap. The W 1st Street home is about 286 square feet larger, and it sold for $65,000 more. Put another way, the price per foot held steady between the two, so the gap in dollars tracks the gap in square footage almost exactly.
The second comparable is a four-bedroom home of 2,045 square feet on W 2nd Street, which closed for $325,000 on August 20, 2026. At about $159 per square foot, it is a larger home at a lower per-foot price, and it shows how the market prices both ends of the new-home range: more bedrooms and more space at one price per foot, a compact three-bedroom at another.
Together, those three closings between August 20 and October 2 span $270,000 to $335,000. Other recent nearby closings, including sales on Edison Street, W 1st Street and W 2nd Street, came in far lower, between $23,000 and $53,000. That spread is wide, and it is exactly why closings in the upper range matter: they give appraisers and lenders concrete, recent reference points for homes that are newly built and priced to match.
What This Sale Adds to Wolf Creek and West Dayton
Wolf Creek’s recent record is made of closings like this one, and each helps establish what a newly built home can bring in the neighborhood. A $270,000 sale that lands exactly on the 12-month median, backed by a per-square-foot price above that median, tells the market that buyers see real value here at a mid-range price point, not just at the top of the range.
The home itself is a good example of what makes new construction attractive to buyers across West Dayton: three bedrooms, two full baths, a main-floor laundry, a full basement ready to be finished, a two-car garage prepared for EV charging, and a tax abatement that holds annual taxes near $350. Those details translate into lower monthly costs and more room to grow, two things that matter to anyone buying their first home or their next one.
The 189-day timeline carries its own lesson. The seller held a price near the ask for more than six months and was rewarded with a closing within 1.8% of list. In a market where patience can pull a comp down, this sale instead gave Wolf Creek a stronger data point, and the neighborhood benefits from that.
For West Dayton, the pattern is what counts. One sale will not settle a trend, but a series of them, including a $335,000 closing on W 1st Street, a $325,000 closing on W 2nd Street, and now $270,000 on N Williams Street, begins to look like a market with a floor and a ceiling that buyers recognize. Wolf Creek is building that record sale by sale, and 115 N Williams Street is a solid addition to it.
