West Dayton’s housing recovery is built as much from dependable entry-level sales as from headline records. At 4400 Prescott Avenue, a 1928 two-bedroom with a new roof closed at $74,000, about 10 percent above the Greenwich Village median.
A $74,000 Close in Greenwich Village
West Dayton’s housing story is usually told through its biggest numbers, but much of the area’s stability is built from sales like this one: a 1928 two-bedroom with a new roof, a full basement and a detached garage, closing at a price a first-time buyer or a small investor can actually underwrite. 4400 Prescott Avenue in Greenwich Village sold on October 26, 2026 for $74,000, against a list price of $75,000.
That is a difference of just $1,000, or 1.3 percent, after 54 days on the market. The median sale price in Greenwich Village over the past twelve months is $67,500, which puts this home roughly 10 percent above the middle of the neighborhood market. Of the 26 Greenwich Village sales recorded in that stretch, this one ranks 12th, which places it in the upper half of the neighborhood.
The listing also noted that the home returned to the market after an earlier contract fell through during closing week. A property that resets after a late-stage setback and still closes within a point and a third of its asking price tells you the number was set with the market in mind. Sellers across the Northwest side of Dayton can take something useful from that.
What follows looks at the house itself, the neighborhood numbers behind the price, the closest recent sales, and what a result like this means for Greenwich Village and for West Dayton’s ongoing momentum.
What the Buyer Got: Two Bedrooms, a Basement and a New Roof
The home is a single-family residence built in 1928 with two bedrooms, one full bathroom and 836 square feet of living space. At the closing price, that works out to $89 per square foot. It is a compact footprint, and the listing leaned into that, pitching the house as a move-in-ready option for first-time homebuyers and for investors adding to a portfolio.
The headline update is a brand-new roof. On a house nearly a century old, the roof is the kind of expense that tends to shape a buyer’s budget, because it is large, unavoidable and easy to overlook until it becomes urgent. A new one removes that question for the next owner and gives a lender and an insurer a cleaner picture of the property. The listing also pointed to fresh interior updates throughout and described the living space as bright and inviting.
Danielle Crawford, the buyer’s agent on the sale, adds that the home was remodeled in 2020 and has been very well maintained inside and out.
Below the main floor sits a full unfinished basement. The listing framed it two ways: as plenty of storage as it stands, or as an opportunity to create additional living space down the line. For a buyer working with 836 finished square feet, that unfinished footprint is a real asset, because it is room to grow that does not require an addition or a larger lot.
Outside, a detached garage adds parking and workspace, and the listing described a well-kept yard with room to relax or entertain. Off-street parking and usable outdoor space are the two features buyers of small, older homes most often have to give up, and this property offers both alongside the roof and the basement.
Taken together, the package is easy to understand: a two-bedroom house with its largest recent expense already handled, a basement with options, and a garage and yard. At $74,000, that is a straightforward proposition for someone buying a first home or adding a rental to a portfolio.
Ten Percent Above the Greenwich Village Median
The neighborhood numbers give the price its context. Over the past 12 months, Greenwich Village has recorded 26 sales with a median price of $67,500. This sale closed $6,500 above that median, or about 10 percent. Even the original list price of $75,000 sat about 11 percent over the neighborhood’s middle, and the buyer and seller ended up essentially at that number.
Price per square foot tells a similar story. The neighborhood median is $76 per square foot, and 4400 Prescott closed at $89, a gap of $13, or roughly 17 percent. Because this is a smaller home, that figure reflects buyers paying for condition. A new roof and updated interior carry more weight per square foot in 836 square feet than they would in a larger house.
The ranking is worth stating plainly. At 12 of 26, the sale landed ahead of more than half of the neighborhood’s closings over the past year. The top of the Greenwich Village range reached $168,000, so the market here has real room above the median, and sales in the upper half help show where that room begins.
Then there is time. The median home in Greenwich Village spent about 20.5 days on the market. This one took 54. Even so, the price held within $1,000 of ask, and the final number still cleared the neighborhood median comfortably. The days were longer than typical, but the price stayed where the seller put it, and that is the figure future appraisers and buyers will see.
Reading the Close Comparables
Five recent nearby sales help place this one, and three of them are the most useful comparisons by size and price.
The closest in price is a three-bedroom home on Eichelberger Avenue with 1,071 square feet, which sold for $70,000 on October 12, 2026, two weeks before 4400 Prescott closed. That home has an extra bedroom and about 235 more square feet, yet it sold for $4,000 less than this two-bedroom. On a per-square-foot basis, the Eichelberger sale came to roughly $65, against $89 here. The difference suggests buyers valued the updates and the new roof at 4400 Prescott.
On Prescott Avenue itself, a two-bedroom, 768-square-foot sale listed as Unit #200 closed at $98,580 on September 30, 2026. It is the same bedroom count and a similar size, and it shows that two-bedroom homes on this street can reach well above the neighborhood median. Seen next to that result, $74,000 for a house with a detached garage and a full basement is an accessible entry point.
The most direct size match is a two-bedroom on Waymire Avenue with 720 square feet, which sold for $65,000 on August 31, 2026. That works out to about $90 per square foot, essentially level with the $89 recorded at 4400 Prescott. The Waymire home is 116 square feet smaller and closed at $9,000 less, so the two sales line up closely and give the neighborhood a consistent pricing band for small two-bedroom homes this fall.
Read together, these three sales sketch a clear picture. Two-bedroom homes of this size have been trading between roughly $65,000 and $98,580 in recent weeks, and 4400 Prescott sits comfortably inside that range, closer to the middle than the bottom. The Eichelberger sale also shows that bigger bedroom counts and more square footage do not automatically outprice a well-presented smaller home.
Fifty-Four Days, and a Price That Held
The path to closing here is a useful case study in pricing. The home was listed at $75,000, and it sold at $74,000 on October 26, 2026. The listing remarks note that it came back on the market after an earlier deal fell through during the week of closing, which means part of those 54 days was spent starting over.
A late reset is a hard moment for any seller. The easy response is to cut the price sharply to restart momentum, and that would have pulled the comp down with it. Instead the price stayed close to where it began, and a new buyer closed within 1.3 percent of ask. That outcome keeps the data point clean for the next appraisal in the neighborhood.
It also reflects the strength of the underlying property. A new roof, fresh interior updates, a basement and a garage are features that hold up under scrutiny. When a buyer’s agent walks a client through a home like this and compares it with other options at similar prices, those features give the buyer reasons to commit at a number close to list.
For sellers in Greenwich Village, the practical lesson is that visible, verifiable improvements support price. The neighborhood median days on market is about 20.5, so quick sales are common, but this home shows that a longer timeline does not have to mean a lower result when the product is strong.
Why Entry-Level Sales Matter for West Dayton’s Momentum
Neighborhood recovery rarely hinges on one dramatic transaction. It is built from many sales like this one, where a home that has been updated gets bought at a fair price and stays in use. Each closing like 4400 Prescott Avenue adds a data point that lenders, appraisers and prospective buyers can use, and it adds to the evidence that well-kept small homes in West Dayton hold their value.
Greenwich Village is part of Northwest Dayton, where the housing stock includes many compact homes built in the early twentieth century. A 1928 two-bedroom with 836 square feet is representative of that stock. When one of those homes gets a new roof and an updated interior and then closes above the neighborhood median, it shows what a modest investment can accomplish on a block.
There is also a practical benefit for would-be owners. At $74,000, the price is within reach of many first-time buyers, and the home arrives with its largest recent expense already handled. For small investors, the same price point and the same updates offer a manageable entry. Both kinds of buyer put capital into the housing stock, and both help keep homes occupied and maintained.
That is the kind of progress West Dayton has been building toward: not one outsized number, but a growing record of sales that confirm demand at every price level. A sale in the upper half of the neighborhood’s range, on a house that was updated before it was listed, fits that pattern well.
What This Means for the Next Buyer and Seller in Greenwich Village
For sellers, the numbers offer a simple benchmark. Over the past 12 months, Greenwich Village recorded 26 sales at a median of $67,500, with the high end reaching $168,000. A home with a new roof, updated interior and garage can reasonably aim above the median, and this sale at $74,000 and $89 per square foot shows buyers will meet that expectation when the work is visible.
For buyers, the comparison runs the other way. The recent nearby sales on Eichelberger Avenue, Prescott Avenue and Waymire Avenue show a range of small homes at prices from the mid-$60,000s upward, and each offers a different mix of size, bedrooms and condition. Buyers who compare features closely, as the price per square foot differences here suggest, tend to find the value.
For the neighborhood as a whole, each sale adds to a baseline that becomes harder to argue with over time. The median is $67,500 now, and sales above it, like this one, are how that number moves. With 12 of 26 sales ranking behind this price or below it in the past year, 4400 Prescott Avenue is a solid, well-documented comp for anyone pricing a home nearby.
The sale closed on October 26, 2026, and its details are now part of the public picture of Greenwich Village. A two-bedroom home from 1928, updated and priced with care, found a buyer within about a point of its asking price. That is a quiet result, and it is a good one for West Dayton.
Recognizing the Professionals Behind the Outcome
Listing agent Spencer Maxwell of Bridgestream Realty brought the home to market, and Danielle Crawford of Keller Williams Community Part represented the buyer. Results like this come from careful pricing, strong presentation and steady work through closing, and both sides of the deal deserve recognition.
