Overview
Dave Smith is a sales associate with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, working out of the brokerage’s Beavercreek – Dayton-Xenia office on Dayton-Xenia Road. His business since March 2026 has centered on the west side of Dayton and the communities just beyond it, with a mix of listings and buyer representation across a wide range of price points.
In that period he closed 11 sales totaling $2,133,800 in volume. Three of those were on the listing side and eight were on the buyer side, so most of his work has been helping buyers find and close on a home. Six of the sales were within the City of Dayton, and six were in West Dayton, with some overlap between the two groupings.
His personal Howard Hanna web page carries the tagline “Built Different.” The numbers that follow describe what his recent record looks like in practice: where he has closed deals, what he has sold, and how those prices compare with the neighborhoods around them.
The Sales Record in Numbers
Across the 11 closings, prices ran from $35,000 to $357,000, with a median of $217,000. That spread is wide, and it reflects a practice that is not limited to one kind of property or one tier of the market. Entry-level purchases, mid-priced single-family homes and a higher-priced sale in Greene County all appear in the record.
The eight buyer-side closings make up roughly 73 percent of his transactions. The three listing sides give a narrower but useful look at how his sellers’ homes performed. Those listings had a median of 30 days on the market and a median sale-to-list ratio of 100.0%, meaning the typical listing closed at its asking price. Two of the three, or 2 of 3, sold at or above asking.
The mix of property types is also varied. About 45% of his sales were renovated homes, and 9%, one sale, was new construction. He also closed 2 multifamily sales, which points to experience with properties that serve investors or owner-occupants who plan to rent a unit.
With a sample of this size, each transaction carries real weight in the percentages, so the figures are best read as a snapshot of recent activity rather than a long-term average.
Where He Works
His closings span seven areas. Hillcrest leads with three sales, followed by Trotwood and Huber Heights with two each. Linden Heights, McCook Field, Old Dayton View and Xenia each had one.
In Hillcrest, his median sale price was $169,900, against an area median of $125,000. That is a neighborhood where his activity has been steady and where his sales have landed above the typical price. In Trotwood, his two sales had a median of $222,500, compared with an area median of $165,000. In Huber Heights, the figures were $258,000 for his sales and $230,000 for the area.
Linden Heights saw one sale at $217,000, against an area median of $160,000. The Xenia sale was the highest in his record at $357,000, with an area median of $239,000.
Two of his closings were in neighborhoods closer to downtown and the Old Dayton View area. In McCook Field, his sale was $44,000 where the area median is $103,000, and in Old Dayton View it was $35,000 against an area median of $155,000. These were lower-priced transactions, and they show he is active in parts of the market where properties sell for well under the neighborhood median, a category that often includes homes needing work and that can appeal to investors and renovators.
Taken together, the pattern is a practice anchored in west and northwest Dayton and the neighboring suburbs, with occasional reach east into Greene County.

How He Compares Locally
On Dayton Report’s neighborhood leaderboards, Smith holds the top position in Hillcrest, where his 3 sales put him first among agents for the period since March 2026. That is the clearest marker of local concentration in his record.
He also ranks third in two other neighborhoods. In McCook Field he is tied for third place with 1 sale, and in Old Dayton View he holds the same position with 1 sale. Those rankings reflect how small the sales counts are in those areas, and they show that a single closing can place an agent among the leaders in a neighborhood where transactions are infrequent.
Overall, the picture is of an agent with 11 closings in a short window, a majority of them in the City of Dayton and West Dayton, with sale prices that mostly sit above the neighborhood medians in the suburbs and Hillcrest, and below them in the downtown-adjacent areas. His listings sold at asking price at the median and in a month’s time, and his work covers both traditional single-family homes and multifamily properties.
