Across the Miami Valley, strong homes keep finding buyers quickly, and the high end of the market is no exception. In Clearcreek Township, a five-bedroom home on Turning Leaf Crossing closed at its full $1,512,500 list price after a single day on the market.
A Full-Price Sale After One Day on the Market
Over the past 12 months, the typical home sold in Clearcreek Township has closed at $563,500. The house at 8223 Turning Leaf Crossing sold for more than two and a half times that figure, and it needed only one day to get there.
The sale closed on October 21, 2026 at $1,512,500, matching the $1,512,500 list price to the dollar. There was no negotiation gap to report and no price cut to track. The township’s median home spends 25 days on the market before it sells, so a one-day turnaround at this price is a clear signal about how buyers responded to what was offered.
The home is a five-bedroom, four-full-bath residence with 6,298 square feet of finished space, built in 2016 in the Country Brknorth 10 subdivision. At $240 per square foot, the price sits well above the township median of $188 per square foot, which tells you buyers were paying for more than size alone.
The result also ranks near the top of the local market. Among the 172 sales recorded in Clearcreek Township over the last 12 months, this one ranks 11th, which puts it inside the top 7 percent of everything that closed. The home sold 168% above the township median, a gap that only a small share of sales in the area reach.
Sales at this level matter beyond the street where they happen. They give appraisers, lenders and future sellers a recent, verified data point for large, fully finished homes in the township, and they show that demand for well-kept properties in Clearcreek Township does not stop at the middle of the market.
The Main Level: Dark Floors, Big Windows and a Working Kitchen
The listing describes a home with strong curb appeal, fresh landscaping and a formal entry that sets the tone before anyone steps inside. Once through the door, the first floor is finished in rich, dark wood flooring that runs through the entire level, so the main living spaces read as one continuous room rather than a series of separate ones.
Natural light is a recurring theme in the description. An abundance of windows and sliding glass doors pull daylight across the first floor, and the glass doors also connect the interior to the backyard, which matters in a home built around outdoor entertaining.
The kitchen is described as the heart of the house, and the features list backs that up. It has quartz countertops, a large center island, a pantry, a gas cooktop and double ovens, along with an abundance of cabinetry. For a household that cooks often or hosts regularly, that combination of prep surface, oven capacity and storage is the part of a floor plan that gets used every day.
The primary suite is on the first floor, a layout that many buyers actively look for because it keeps the most private room on the same level as the kitchen and living areas. The suite includes a newly upgraded custom closet system. The ensuite bath was refreshed with a new soaking tub, updated mirrors, lighting and hardware, plus an oversized tiled shower and a new toilet with a heated seat and built-in bidet.
None of those updates change the footprint of the house, which dates to 2016. What they do is bring the finishes in the most-used rooms up to date, so a buyer taking over a house that is only about a decade old is not also taking on a list of cosmetic projects.
Upstairs and Downstairs: A Loft, Three Bedrooms and a Built-From-Scratch Theater
The second floor carries a large share of the home’s flexibility. The listing points to all-new carpeting, a very large loft room and three generously sized bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet. Two full bathrooms serve the upper level, so the bedrooms are not competing for a single shared bath.
A loft of that scale is the kind of space a household can assign to almost anything: a second living room, a study area, a play space or a hobby room. Because it sits on the same floor as three bedrooms, it works as a natural gathering point away from the main level.
The finished lower level is where the listing leans hardest into entertaining. It features a theater room described as brand new and custom built from the ground up, with eight reclining theater chairs, four of which include massage and heat functions. A room built specifically for movie nights, with seating already in place, is rare enough in resale listings that it tends to be a deciding feature for the right buyer.
The basement also holds a newly finished fifth bedroom with another full bathroom next to it. That arrangement works well as a guest room because the bedroom and bath are set apart from the upstairs sleeping areas.
Taken together, the three levels add up to 6,298 square feet of finished living space with five bedrooms and four full baths. At the $1,512,500 price, that works out to the $240 per square foot figure, and it is a large home by any measure in Clearcreek Township.
The Backyard and the Upgrades of the Past 18 Months
Outside, the listing describes a private backyard designed for both relaxation and hosting. A paver patio anchors the space and includes a fire pit. A heated inground pool is the centerpiece, and a gazebo gives the yard a covered spot for sitting out of the sun. For a buyer weighing a house with a finished basement theater against one with a pool, this property offers both.
The listing also calls out a series of upgrades made over the previous 18 months, and these are the kinds of items that matter for ownership costs rather than appearance. The home now has a tankless water heater and a whole-house Generac generator. The concrete driveway has been expanded, there is a new service door into the garage, and the garage floor has an epoxy coating.
The garage also has a 3-ton mini split that heats and cools it year-round. That is an unusual addition, and it turns the garage into usable space in any season, whether for vehicles, a workshop or storage that should not sit in extreme temperatures.
A generator and a tankless water heater are practical choices that tend to resonate with buyers at this price point, since they reduce the disruption of a power outage and cut down on stored hot water. Expanding the driveway adds parking for a household with several drivers or for guests when the house is full.
Combined with the refreshed primary bath, the new carpeting upstairs and the newly built theater room, the list reads as a home that had been actively improved ahead of the sale. The one-day result suggests buyers noticed.
How $1,512,500 Compares With the Clearcreek Township Market
The best way to read this sale is against the neighborhood numbers. Over the last 12 months, Clearcreek Township has recorded 172 sales with a median price of $563,500, a median price per square foot of $188 and a median of 25 days on the market.
Against those figures, 8223 Turning Leaf Crossing stands out on every measure. Its $1,512,500 price is 168% above the median. Its $240 per square foot is about 28 percent higher than the township’s $188 median. And its 1 day on the market is a fraction of the typical 25.
The rank tells the same story. Eleventh out of 172 puts this sale among the top sales in the township across the entire year, and it is a result built on an unusually complete set of features: a first-floor primary suite, a loft, a finished lower level with a theater and a fifth bedroom, a heated pool and a recently upgraded set of mechanical systems.
The sold-versus-list figure is also worth noting. The final price was 0.0% from the asking price, which means the sellers priced the home where buyers were willing to meet it. In a township where the median sale takes nearly a month, that kind of match between price and demand is what keeps comparable sales credible for the next listing on the street.
For anyone watching the larger Dayton-area market, the lesson is that demand at the upper end in Clearcreek Township is real and responsive. A home priced at more than two and a half times the median still attracted a buyer on day one.
The Closest Comparable Sales
Several other homes closed in the township in the weeks leading up to this sale, and they help frame the result even though most are much smaller.
The nearest match in price and size is the home on Normandy Rue, which sold on October 15, 2026 for $995,000. It has four bedrooms and 3,714 square feet, which comes to roughly $268 per square foot. The Turning Leaf Crossing home is about 2,584 square feet larger and sold for $517,500 more, closing just six days later.
The other recent sales sit well below that tier. A home on Petrus Court sold on October 9, 2026 for $538,000, with three bedrooms and 1,809 square feet. That price is close to the township median, which is a useful reminder of how far above the middle of the market the Turning Leaf Crossing sale landed.
On October 14, 2026, a three-bedroom home on Christopher Drive with 2,019 square feet sold for $425,000. On the same day this sale closed, October 21, 2026, a three-bedroom home on Doe Drive with 2,610 square feet sold for $420,000.
Put side by side, those sales show a township market that moves at several different price levels at once. Homes in the $400,000 to $540,000 range are closing steadily, a $995,000 sale closed a week earlier, and now a $1,512,500 sale has followed. Each one supports the next, and the Normandy Rue and Turning Leaf Crossing sales together give larger homes in Clearcreek Township two fresh data points less than a week apart.
What the Sale Means for Clearcreek Township
A single sale does not define a township, but a full-price, one-day sale at this level adds something concrete to the record. It shows that a buyer was ready to pay $1,512,500 for a 2016-built home with 6,298 square feet, a finished basement theater, a heated pool and a recent round of upgrades.
For sellers considering a listing in the township, the numbers are useful in two ways. They show that homes priced well above the median can still sell quickly when they are complete, updated and priced to the market. They also give a benchmark for the price-per-foot range that larger homes can reach, $240 here against $268 on Normandy Rue.
For buyers, the sale is a reminder that Clearcreek Township offers a wide range of housing. The same 12-month stretch that produced this result also produced sales at $305,000, $420,000 and $538,000 among the closest recent comparables.
For the broader Miami Valley, it adds to the picture of a housing market with activity at many levels. Strong sales are not limited to one price band or one part of the region, and Clearcreek Township’s 172 closings in the past year show a market with real depth.
The Dayton Report will keep following recent sales across the Miami Valley, with a particular eye on the results that move the comparable data for the neighborhoods they sit in. 8223 Turning Leaf Crossing is one of those: $1,512,500, full list price, one day on the market, and eleventh among the township’s 172 sales.
