Recent Sales Activity

Overview

Derick Shepherd is a real estate agent with eXp Realty who works primarily in the communities of Warren, Montgomery and Greene counties south and east of Dayton, with a few sales stretching toward Cincinnati’s northern suburbs. Over the past 12 months he closed 14 sales worth a combined $5,577,400.

He leads the ShepStar Realty Team as Team Leader and owner. The team’s website says it serves Southwest Ohio and describes seller services in both Cincinnati and Dayton, including home evaluations, photography, marketing and negotiation.

His work leans toward listings. Of those 14 closings, 9 were listing sides and 5 were buyer sides, so roughly two of every three transactions involved representing a seller.

The sales record in numbers

Across the 14 closed sales, prices ran from a low of $245,000 to a high of $849,900, with a median of $347,500. That places the middle of his business in the mid-priced part of the southwest Ohio market, with one sale well above the rest at the upper end.

On the nine homes he listed, the median time on market was 32 days. Those listings closed at a median of 97.5% of the asking price, and 3 of the 9 sold at or above asking. A median of 97.5% means the typical listing closed within about 2.5 percentage points of its list price, a narrow gap between what sellers asked and what buyers paid.

The mix of property types is also worth noting. About 43% of his sales were renovated homes, a share that fits with his stated history of rehabbing houses before he became licensed. New construction made up 7% of sales, which amounts to a single home, and he recorded no multifamily sales in the period.

He closed no sales in the city of Dayton itself or in West Dayton during the window. His activity is concentrated in suburban and small-town markets to the south and east.

Where he works

Springboro is his busiest market, with 5 sales in the past year. His median sale price there was $385,000, compared with an area median of $425,000. That puts his Springboro business modestly below the local midpoint, in a part of the market that is still among the pricier ones he serves.

Lebanon followed with 3 sales at a median of $286,500, against an area median of $370,000. His work there sits in the more accessible price tiers of the city’s market.

In Clearcreek Township he closed one sale at $849,900, the top of his range and well above the area median of $567,000. It is the only sale in his record that reaches into the upper price tier.

He also closed one sale each in several other communities. In Germantown the sale price was $400,000, against an area median of $260,000. In Kettering it was $305,000, also above that city’s $260,000 median. In Turtlecreek Township the price was $275,000, below the $485,000 area median. A single sale in Kings Mills closed at $340,000.

With only one sale in most of these places, those comparisons are snapshots rather than trends. They do show a range: he has worked both above and below local medians, depending on the property and the community.

Background and credentials

According to his team page, Shepherd received his real estate license in 2019, after years of rehabbing homes. The page does not give a specific number of years in the business. His Ohio license number is listed on that page as 2019001783.

He describes his focus as the Dayton and Cincinnati markets, and says he keeps up with market trends in order to advise clients. His Zillow profile lists specialties as buyer’s agent, listing agent, relocation and foreclosure. Service areas listed there include Kettering, Lebanon, Mason, Eaton, Springboro, Waynesville, Franklin, Morrow and Dayton. Another directory lists Springboro, Franklin, Lebanon and Middletown.

Shepherd is the owner of the ShepStar Realty Team, which also lists Denny Shepherd as an agent. No professional designations, brokerage awards or board roles are on record for him at this time.

Putting the numbers in context

Fourteen closings in a year, with nine on the listing side, describes a steady and seller-oriented practice. The 32-day median on market and the 97.5% median sale-to-list ratio on those listings indicate homes that found buyers in a little over a month and sold close to their asking prices.

His geographic spread is wide for the volume. Seven different communities appear in his record, anchored by Springboro and Lebanon, which together account for 8 of his 14 sales. The remaining six were spread across five other areas, from Germantown and Kettering to Clearcreek Township and Kings Mills.

The average sale in his record works out to roughly $398,000, pulled upward by the one sale near $850,000. The median of $347,500 is a better guide to the typical transaction. For homeowners and buyers weighing options in Warren and southern Montgomery counties, his record offers a look at an agent whose recent work centers on mid-priced homes, a meaningful share of renovated properties and listings that sell in about a month.

Local market conditions shift from quarter to quarter, and one year of closings is a limited window. Still, the figures give a clear picture of where Shepherd has been active, at what price points, and how his listings have performed.
