Across the Miami Valley, newer homes with real square footage and finished-ready space keep finding buyers well above the typical price. On Warm Springs Drive in Fairborn, a 2021-built four-bedroom closed at $368,000, ranking 66th among 453 sales in the past year.
A Fairborn Sale That Lands in the Top Tier
A two-story home at 384 Warm Springs Drive in Fairborn closed on November 6, 2026 for $368,000, after coming to market at $389,000. It is a single-family house built in 2021, with four bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath, and 2,514 square feet of living area on a 0.14-acre lot.
Fairborn recorded 453 sales over the past 12 months, and the median price across them was $227,000. At $368,000, this sale came in 62% above that median and ranks 66th of 453. Put another way, only 65 sales in the city ranked higher over the past year, which places this one in roughly the top 15 percent of everything that closed.
Those are the headline numbers, but the details behind them are what make the sale a useful data point for Fairborn. The home is less than five years old. It has a full basement already plumbed for a bath, a laundry room on the second floor and a covered deck. It found a buyer in 45 days, in the same week that two other four-bedroom homes in Fairborn changed hands at $350,000 and $400,000.
A result like this matters because the middle and upper part of a housing market is where confidence shows up first. Most of Fairborn’s activity happens well below $368,000. When a newer, larger home closes at this level and sits comfortably between two other four-bedroom sales, it tells sellers and buyers where the market is willing to meet.
A 2021 Build with Four Bedrooms and Room to Spread Out
The house at 384 Warm Springs Drive was built in 2021, which made it roughly five years old at closing. In a city where the median home sold over the past year went for $227,000, a buyer paying $368,000 here was buying a house from this decade rather than an older home waiting to be updated.
It is a two-story, single-family home. The listing describes a model-home exterior with a covered deck, and says the house is ready to move into with many upgrades throughout. The living area totals 2,514 square feet, set on a 0.14-acre lot, a compact piece of land that puts the emphasis on the house rather than on yard work.
The layout includes four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bathroom. Four bedrooms is the count that moves a Fairborn house into a different price bracket. Of the five closest recent sales, only two were four-bedroom homes, and they closed at $400,000 and $350,000. The other three were two- and three-bedroom houses that sold between $136,500 and $267,385.
The kitchen comes with all appliances, so a buyer does not have to budget for a separate appliance package on top of the purchase price. When a purchase already stretches a household’s finances, a finished kitchen that is ready on day one is a real consideration.
Then there is the price per square foot. At $146, the sale came in under Fairborn’s 12-month median of $155 per square foot. That is the quiet part of this result: the total price is high because the house is large and recent, not because the buyer paid a premium for each foot of it. For a newer four-bedroom with more than 2,500 square feet, that is a measured price.
The Basement, the Deck and the Second-Floor Laundry
Beyond the bedroom count, three features in the listing explain much of the home’s appeal, and each one speaks to how people actually use a house day to day.
The first is the full basement, which comes plumbed for a bath. A basement that already has plumbing in place gives a future owner a head start on finishing the space, whether that becomes a recreation room, a guest suite or a home office. The listing does not describe the basement as finished, so what it offers is possibility rather than a completed floor plan, and for many buyers that flexibility is exactly the point. It is room to grow without moving.
The second is the laundry room on the second floor. In a two-story house, where the washer and dryer sit shapes the daily routine, and the listing singles out this placement as a practical convenience. It is the kind of feature that rarely shows up in a price per square foot figure but that owners notice every week.
The third is the covered deck. The listing frames it as an outdoor space for quiet mornings or relaxing evenings, and the cover is what makes that realistic: a roofed deck is usable on days when an open one would not be. On a 0.14-acre lot, the deck extends the living space outdoors without asking a buyer to maintain a large yard.
Taken together, these details describe a house built for ordinary routines: a finished kitchen, laundry that is easy to reach, space below ground to expand into and a sheltered place to sit outside. None of that is flashy, and all of it is the sort of thing buyers weigh when they compare a house like this to older homes at lower prices.
How $368,000 Sits Against Fairborn’s Numbers
Fairborn’s 12-month figures give the sale its context. The city logged 453 sales, with a median price of $227,000, a median price per square foot of $155 and a median of 23 days on the market. The highest sale in that period was $639,900.
Against those figures, 384 Warm Springs Drive closed $141,000 above the median price, a margin of 62%. Its rank of 66 of 453 places it well into the upper tier of the market, though still far below the $639,900 top end, which shows how much room Fairborn’s market has above this level.
The price per square foot tells the other half of the story. At $146, this home sold below the city median of $155. That combination, a price well above the median and a per-foot figure slightly below it, is typical of larger newer homes. The price climbs because the square footage does, and buyers at this level are paying for size and age more than for a premium rate.
Days on market is where this sale ran longer than the typical Fairborn home. It took 45 days to sell against a median of 23. That is a natural pattern for homes at higher price points, where the pool of buyers is smaller and each one takes more time to decide. The sale still closed within a month and a half of listing, at a price that ranks among the top 15 percent of Fairborn sales for the year.
For a seller considering a listing in Fairborn, the takeaway is practical. The market clears at $368,000 for a 2021 build with four bedrooms and more than 2,500 square feet, and it does so without a long wait.
The Closest Comparables: Bracketed by Two Four-Bedroom Sales
Three recent Fairborn sales sit closest to this one in size and price, and together they bracket it neatly.
On November 10, 2026, a four-bedroom home on Arden Bend closed for $400,000. It has 2,820 square feet, which is 306 more than Warm Springs Drive, and it sold for $32,000 more. That works out to about $142 per square foot, close to the $146 paid on Warm Springs Drive.
On November 5, 2026, one day before this sale, a four-bedroom house on Murphy Drive closed for $350,000. It has 2,012 square feet, which is 502 fewer than Warm Springs Drive, and it sold for $18,000 less. That works out to about $174 per square foot. The smaller home carried the higher rate per foot, which is common because the fixed costs of a house are spread over fewer square feet.
On the same day as this closing, November 6, 2026, a three-bedroom home on Bowman Drive sold for $267,385. At 1,704 square feet, it works out to about $157 per square foot, which shows the step down in price as a buyer moves from four bedrooms to three and from 2,500 square feet to 1,700.
Lay the sales side by side and the pattern is consistent. $350,000 for 2,012 square feet, $368,000 for 2,514 and $400,000 for 2,820: the price rises with the size, and 384 Warm Springs Drive lands exactly where its square footage says it should. Smaller homes of roughly 1,000 square feet, which closed that same week between $136,500 and $180,000, round out the spread and show how wide Fairborn’s market runs.
That consistency is useful. When a sale fits between its neighbors this cleanly, it strengthens the comp set for the next homeowner, appraiser or lender who needs to price a four-bedroom house in the city.
From $389,000 to $368,000 in 45 Days
The home was listed at $389,000 and closed at $368,000, 5.4% below the list price and a difference of $21,000. A negotiated price is the ordinary way a house at this level reaches closing, and the outcome here is a sale that holds a place in the top 15 percent of Fairborn’s year.
The timeline is straightforward. The house spent 45 days on the market and closed on November 6, 2026. In that span, buyer and seller agreed on a figure that sits $141,000 above the city’s median and right in line with the per-foot pricing on nearby four-bedroom sales.
It also helps to see what the final price accomplished. At $368,000, the house came in at $146 per square foot, within a few dollars of the Arden Bend sale at about $142 and well under the $174 per foot on Murphy Drive. A price at that level is one that a lender’s appraisal can point to with nearby sales, which is exactly what makes a transaction dependable rather than an outlier.
For sellers, there is a lesson in the pace. Homes at the upper end of Fairborn’s market do not turn over as quickly as the median home, which closes in 23 days, but they do sell, and they sell at prices that reflect their size and age. A seller who prices a newer four-bedroom against the actual closed comps, as this one was, can expect the market to respond within weeks.
What the Sale Means for Fairborn
Fairborn’s market is large enough to show real range. With 453 sales in 12 months, the city has the volume to support everything from sub-$150,000 starter homes to a top sale of $639,900. The question for any neighborhood is whether its upper tier has depth, and this week of closings offers a clear answer.
Within five days, Fairborn saw four-bedroom sales at $350,000, $368,000 and $400,000. Three sales in a narrow band, all for homes between roughly 2,000 and 2,800 square feet, is the kind of cluster that builds a market. Each one reinforces the others and gives the next buyer and seller something solid to measure against.
The 2021 construction date matters too. Homes built in the last several years give a neighborhood a newer layer of housing, and when they sell at a price like $368,000 they show that buyers will pay for recent construction in Fairborn. That supports the value of the whole street and gives builders and owners a reason to keep investing in the city’s housing stock.
Most Fairborn sales will continue to happen near the $227,000 median, and that accessibility is part of the city’s appeal. The result on Warm Springs Drive adds something different: proof that the market also has room for a $368,000 sale, closed in 45 days, backed by comparable homes within a few thousand dollars per bedroom count.
For homeowners wondering what a larger, newer house is worth, and for buyers wondering whether the upper end of Fairborn is priced fairly, this sale offers a clear reference point. A 2021-built home with four bedrooms, 2,514 square feet, a full basement plumbed for a bath, a second-floor laundry and a covered deck sold for $368,000 on November 6, 2026. That is the number, and the neighborhood’s data now supports it.
