Recent Sales Activity

Over the past 12 months, MLS records show Marissa on 12 closed sales (6 as the listing agent, 6 representing the buyer), about $4,213,900 in total sales volume. Most active in Kettering, Washington Township, Springboro, Clearcreek Township, Fairborn and Beavercreek Township.

Overview

Marissa Niswonger is a REALTOR® with Irongate Inc., working out of the brokerage’s Springboro office at 305 East Central Avenue. The work was split evenly: six listing sides and six buyer sides.

Her business is spread across the southern and eastern parts of the Miami Valley. Closings in the past year touched ten different areas, from Kettering and Washington Township in the Dayton suburbs to Springboro and Clearcreek Township in Warren County, and from Fairborn, Beavercreek and Beavercreek Township in Greene County to Germantown, Miamisburg and Xenia. No single market accounts for more than two of her sales, which says her work follows the clients and homes in front of her rather than one zip code.

The numbers on her own listings are the strongest part of the record. All six homes she listed sold at or above the asking price, and they did so quickly, with a median of 20.5 days on market.

Her sales record in numbers

Twelve closed sales in a year, with a total volume of $4,213,900, works out to an average sale price of roughly $351,000. The median price across her sales was $360,950, with the range running from $217,000 at the low end to $465,000 at the high end. That is a fairly tight band. Nothing she closed fell below the low $200,000s or above the mid $400,000s, and most of her business sits in the middle of the Miami Valley price spectrum.

The split between sides is even. Six of her closings put her on the listing side, representing a seller, and six put her on the buyer side. Agents often lean heavily toward one or the other, so a half-and-half record points to comfort with both parts of the job: preparing and pricing a home for market, and helping a buyer find and secure one.

On the listing side, the results are consistently good. Her listings sold at a median of 100.7% of list price, meaning the typical home closed slightly above what the seller asked. All six of six listings sold at or above asking. The median time on market for those listings was 20.5 days, a little under three weeks from listing to the point of going under contract, by the way MLS data tracks it. Taken together, those three figures describe listings that were priced in line with the market and found buyers without lingering.

The mix of property types is worth noting. About 8% of her closings, one of the twelve, involved new construction. About 33%, or four of the twelve, were renovated homes. She recorded no multifamily sales in the period. The remainder were existing single-family homes that did not carry a renovation or new-build designation in the listing data. That gives her record a practical, resale-focused character with a meaningful share of updated homes mixed in.

Where she works

Kettering and Washington Township are her two most active areas by count, with two sales each over the past year. Eight other areas each recorded one closing: Springboro, Clearcreek Township, Fairborn, Beavercreek Township, Beavercreek, Germantown, Miamisburg and Xenia. In total that is ten areas across four or five distinct submarkets, which is unusually broad for a dozen closings.

In Kettering, her two sales had a median price of $310,000, against an area median of $260,000. In Washington Township, her two sales had a median of $387,450, compared with an area median of $412,000. Washington Township is the part of the Dayton suburbs where she works at prices a bit below the local midpoint, while in Kettering she works above it.

Springboro is where her office is located, and her one sale there closed at $465,000, the highest price in her record and above the area median of $425,000. Next door, her Clearcreek Township sale came in at $415,000, against an area median of $567,000. Clearcreek is a higher-priced market by the numbers, and her sale there sat well under the typical figure, which shows how the same agent can work both sides of the median depending on the home.

In Greene County, her Fairborn sale closed at $288,000, compared with an area median of $220,000. Her Beavercreek Township sale closed at $377,000 against a median of $500,000, and her Beavercreek sale closed at $217,000, the low end of her range, against a median of $330,000. In Germantown, her sale at $328,000 was above the area median of $260,000. She also closed one sale each in Miamisburg and Xenia.

Her name has also appeared on listings in Centerville, including in the Wynstone new-construction community, which is consistent with the new-build share in her sales record. She had no closed sales in the City of Dayton or West Dayton over the past 12 months.

How her prices sit against local medians

Comparing her sale prices with area medians is a way to see the kind of homes she tends to handle. Of the eight areas where a median is available, her price was above the area median in four: Kettering, Springboro, Fairborn and Germantown. It was below the median in the other four: Washington Township, Clearcreek Township, Beavercreek Township and Beavercreek.

The gaps vary. In Kettering, her median sale was $50,000 above the area figure. In Fairborn it was $68,000 above, and in Germantown $68,000 above as well. In Springboro the difference was $40,000. In the areas where she sold below the median, the differences were larger in the higher-priced markets: $152,000 under the median in Clearcreek Township, $123,000 under in Beavercreek Township and $113,000 under in Beavercreek. Washington Township was much closer, about $25,000 under.

Read together, the pattern suggests range rather than a narrow niche. She has closed homes at entry-level prices in markets where the typical home costs considerably more, and homes above the typical price in more affordable markets. For a seller or buyer, that variety can matter: she has recent experience with homes priced at, above and below what the surrounding area usually sees, and with the pricing and negotiation questions that come with each.

With a single sale in most areas, any one comparison should be read lightly. A home’s size, age, condition and lot all affect where it falls against a median, and one closing does not define a market. The broader picture, a record of homes between $217,000 and $465,000 across ten areas, is the more reliable takeaway.

What the MLS record does provide is a year of production. Twelve closings and more than $4.2 million in volume across the Miami Valley, an even balance between representing sellers and buyers, listings that all sold at or above asking in a median of about three weeks, and a mix of resale, renovated and new-construction homes. For a profile of a working agent, those figures speak plainly about how she has spent the past year.
