West Dayton’s housing story is built one well-prepared home at a time, each finding a buyer quickly at a fair price. In Harrison Township’s Meadowdale subdivision, an updated three-bedroom ranch just closed at full asking price after four days on the market.
Full Asking Price in Four Days in Meadowdale
The ranch at 4236 Williamson Drive, in the Meadowdale subdivision of Harrison Township, closed on November 3, 2026 for $134,900. That is exactly its $134,900 list price, and it took just 4 days on the market to get there.
Full price and a four-day clock need little explanation. The house is a 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch of 960 square feet, built in 1956, and the sale works out to $141 per square foot. Over the past 12 months Harrison Township has recorded 247 sales with a median price of $126,000. This one finished 7% above that median and ranks 110th of 247, which places it in the upper half of every sale the township has seen in a year.
West Dayton’s comeback is mostly assembled from results like this one: a modest home, prepared well, that finds a buyer fast and closes at the number the seller asked for. Harrison Township is part of that story, and a mid-century ranch at the $130,000 level shows what the story looks like for buyers who are watching their monthly payment as closely as their square footage.
The rest of this report walks through what the buyer got, how the price compares with the township’s year of sales, and what the closest recent sales nearby say about where values sit right now.
A Remodeled Ranch Built in 1956
Ranch homes of the 1950s were built for straightforward living on a single level, and 4236 Williamson Drive follows that pattern. At 960 square feet it is a compact house, but it carries three bedrooms and a full bath, a bedroom count that matters to buyers who want a separate room for each member of a household, a home office, or a guest space without paying for a larger footprint.
The listing describes the house as updated, with numerous interior improvements throughout, and the sale price reflects that. At $141 per square foot, the price sits well above the township’s 12-month median of $106 per square foot, a gap of about a third. Small homes tend to post higher per-square-foot figures because a kitchen and a bathroom cost roughly the same to finish whether the house is 960 square feet or 1,500. Buyers here paid for a home where those expensive rooms were already redone.
The house was built in 1956, so the update story is the heart of this sale. A home of that age can go one of two ways on the market: it can wait for a buyer with a renovation budget and a free calendar, or it can arrive finished and attract the larger pool of buyers who want to unpack and settle in. This one arrived finished, and it sold in four days.
Inside: New Flooring, a Remodeled Kitchen and a Tiled Bath
According to the listing, the main living areas now have new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and every bedroom has new carpet. Interior walls were freshly painted and the light fixtures were updated. Those are the changes a buyer notices in the first thirty seconds of a showing, and they are the same changes that make a house photograph cleanly online, which helps explain a four-day timeline.
The remodeled kitchen is the centerpiece. It has new countertops, a tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances, so a buyer is not facing an appliance purchase on top of a down payment. In a house of this size, the kitchen is a large share of the main living space, and finishing it well changes how the whole floor plan feels.
The bathroom was updated too, with a tile tub and shower combination. A single full bath is the one tradeoff of a 960-square-foot, three-bedroom plan, so the quality of that one room carries extra weight. Fresh tile and a clean finish take a lot of the pressure off.
Taken together, the interior work reads like a coordinated refresh rather than a patchwork of repairs. Flooring, paint, lighting, kitchen and bath were all addressed, and that consistency is what lets a listing be described, accurately, as move-in ready. Buyers shopping in this price range often compare several homes in a weekend, and a house with nothing obvious left on the to-do list tends to rise to the top of that comparison.
Outside: Carport, Covered Patio and a Shed
The exterior features round out the package. The home has a one-car attached carport, which gives a buyer covered parking right at the house, a covered rear patio, and a storage shed in the yard.
Those three items do practical work. The carport keeps a vehicle out of the weather without the cost of a full garage. The covered patio extends the living space outdoors across more of the year, whether that means a place to grill, sit or set up a few chairs. The shed takes lawn equipment, tools and seasonal items out of the house, which matters in a 960-square-foot plan where every closet counts.
None of these features is flashy, and that is the point. Buyers in the $120,000 to $150,000 range tend to be weighing everyday function against price, and a home that pairs a finished interior with covered parking, a patio and storage checks several of those boxes at once. It is a good example of a house where the listing’s simple pitch, a move-in ready home, matched what buyers were looking for.
How $134,900 Compares With a Year of Harrison Township Sales
Start with the headline number. The township’s 12-month median sale price is $126,000, and 4236 Williamson Drive closed at $134,900, or $8,900 more, which is the 7% above median figure. That is a clear step up from the middle of the market, in a township that saw 247 sales over the period and where the highest sale reached $545,000. Ranking 110th of 247 means this sale beat the price of more than half of the homes that changed hands.
The per-square-foot measure tells a similar story. The township’s median is $106 per square foot, and this sale came in at $141. Buyers paid more per foot here than the typical Harrison Township buyer did, which is what you would expect when the kitchen, bath, flooring and paint have all been redone.
Then there is speed. The township’s median time on market over the past year is 37 days. This house needed 4. A listing priced at $134,900 that sells at $134,900 in four days is a seller and a market agreeing on a number almost immediately, with no price cut and no negotiation down.
Sold against list at 0.0% difference is a clean outcome, and it is a useful data point for anyone thinking about listing a similar home. The pricing was right for the condition, and buyers recognized it quickly.
What the Closest Nearby Sales Show
Recent closings around the township put the result in context. On October 30, 2026, a three-bedroom home on Ontario Avenue sold for $105,500. It has 1,060 square feet, about 100 more than Williamson Drive, and works out to roughly $100 per square foot. The Williamson Drive sale finished $29,400 higher on a slightly smaller footprint, which is a fair measure of what an updated kitchen, bath and flooring package can be worth to buyers.
A two-bedroom home on Lodell Avenue, at 820 square feet, sold for $119,900 on October 28, 2026, or about $146 per square foot, which is close to the $141 posted here. Williamson Drive offers an extra bedroom and 140 more square feet for $15,000 more, and both homes landed in the same per-foot neighborhood.
Moving up in size, a three-bedroom on Klepinger Road with 1,475 square feet sold for $198,000 on October 30, 2026, roughly $134 per square foot. A five-bedroom, 2,832-square-foot home on Judy Lane sold for $170,000 on November 2, 2026, which is a different kind of house at a much lower per-foot figure.
Read together, the sales show a market where price tracks size and finish. The Williamson Drive result sits comfortably in the middle of that range, with a per-square-foot price in line with the other updated, smaller homes nearby and a clear premium over the less-updated sale on Ontario Avenue.
What This Sale Means for Harrison Township and West Dayton
A single sale doesn’t change a township, but it adds to a pattern. Over a year, Harrison Township has logged 247 closings, and the market for finished, smaller ranches has a clear shape: homes priced to their condition sell quickly, and homes with updated kitchens and baths earn a per-square-foot premium over the township median.
For West Dayton, that matters in a practical way. Each sale like this one gives appraisers, lenders and the next seller a documented number to work from. A $134,900 closing on a 1956 ranch, at $141 per square foot and in 4 days, is a reference point for the Meadowdale subdivision and the blocks around it, and a sign that buyers will pay for work that has already been done.
It also shows the value of preparation. The updated flooring, paint, lighting, kitchen and bath turned a nearly 70-year-old floor plan into something a buyer could occupy right away, and the market responded with a full-price offer within the first week.
As West Dayton’s momentum continues, the stories that hold it up are often at this scale: a three-bedroom ranch, a carport, a covered patio, a shed, a fresh kitchen, and a buyer who moved fast. Sales like 4236 Williamson Drive are what steady progress looks like in the numbers.
