Even as much of the Dayton real estate market adjusts to slower conditions, certain neighborhoods continue to show remarkable resilience. Belmont remains one of them. A recent sale on Whittier Avenue offers a clear example of why this area continues to attract serious buyers and hold its value.
Belmont Momentum Continues Despite a Slower Market
The home at 2737 Whittier Avenue closed on December 16, 2025, selling for $215,000—notably above its $209,000 list price. That result matters. In a market where many homes are negotiating downward or sitting longer, Belmont properties that are priced correctly and well maintained are still commanding strong interest.
This sale reinforces what local agents and buyers already know: Belmont remains one of Dayton’s most desirable and stable neighborhoods, even as broader market activity cools.
A Well-Maintained Home Buyers Responded To
Built in 1950, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,472 square feet of comfortable living space. Its appeal wasn’t about flash—it was about condition, layout, and confidence.
Recent updates played a major role in buyer interest, including:
- New roof (2021)
- Brand-new carpet installed in 2025
- A bright, functional floor plan with defined living and dining spaces
Buyers today are cautious, but they are still willing to compete for homes that feel move-in ready and well cared for.
Functional Layout With Everyday Appeal
The home’s layout struck a balance that many buyers want right now: practical, comfortable, and efficient. The dining area flows naturally into the kitchen, making it suitable for everyday living without feeling cramped.
The kitchen itself offers ample storage and workspace—another factor that helps homes stand out in competitive neighborhoods like Belmont.
Two Full Baths Add Flexibility
Having two full bathrooms continues to be a strong selling point, especially for families, roommates, or buyers planning long-term ownership. In older housing stock, this feature often separates average listings from strong performers.
Why This Sale Matters for Belmont
The home spent 44 days on market before selling—long enough to reflect today’s more measured pace, but short enough to signal demand. The fact that it ultimately sold over list price sends an important message:
Belmont pricing is holding.
In a time when many neighborhoods are seeing price reductions or concessions, Belmont continues to demonstrate price stability, buyer confidence, and long-term desirability. Homes that are maintained, updated, and realistically priced are still rewarded.
A Neighborhood That Continues to Prove Itself
Belmont’s proximity to downtown Dayton, established streets, and strong sense of community keep it near the top of buyers’ lists. This sale on Whittier Avenue adds to a growing pattern—proof that even in slower conditions, Belmont remains one of Dayton’s most reliable real estate markets.
As 2026 approaches, sales like this suggest that while the market may be cooling overall, Belmont is far from cooling off.
Professional Representation on Both Sides
This transaction benefited from experienced, thoughtful representation on both sides. Todd Broomhall, representing the seller, brought a clear understanding of Belmont’s market dynamics, positioning the home effectively to generate strong interest and achieve an above-list sale in a more measured market.
On the buyer side, Erin Laurito guided her clients through a competitive environment with precision and local insight, helping them secure a home in one of Dayton’s most desirable neighborhoods. The successful outcome reflects the value of skilled representation in today’s evolving market.
