Overview

Gary Garrison is a real estate agent with Trelora Realty, Inc. who has been active in the Dayton market since March 2026. In that period the MLS shows 16 closed sales with a combined volume of $1,869,573. All 16 were on the listing side, so his record to date is built on representing sellers and bringing their homes to a close.

The homes he has sold sit in the lower and middle parts of the local price range. Prices run from $67,000 to $199,500, with a median of $96,900. That puts his work largely in the part of the market where entry-level homes, investor-oriented properties and modest renovations change hands, and where the margin between a well-priced listing and an overpriced one is often small.

His sales are spread across a wide part of the Dayton area, from West Dayton and the city’s established neighborhoods to townships and suburbs north and east of downtown. Nine of the 16 sales were in West Dayton, and the rest are distributed among Harrison Township, Trotwood, Fairborn, Huber Heights, Miami Township, Riverside and several other areas.

The sales record in numbers

Sixteen closed sales in roughly a season of work is a steady pace, and the dollar volume of $1,869,573 works out to an average of about $116,800 per sale. The median is lower, at $96,900, which means a number of his sales closed in the double-digit-thousands range, with a smaller group at the upper end near $200,000. The highest-priced sale, at $199,500, is almost three times the lowest, at $67,000, so the range is broader than the median alone suggests.

On pricing discipline, the figures are solid. His listings closed at a median of 98.9% of the list price, meaning that the typical seller received within about one percent of the asking figure. Of the 16 listings, 5 sold at or above asking. A median sale-to-list ratio that close to full price suggests the homes were generally priced in line with what buyers were willing to pay.

The median time on market for his listings was 33 days, a little over a month from listing to contract and closing activity as recorded in the MLS. For homes in this price band, where buyers often rely on financing steps, inspections and negotiations over repairs, that is a workable timeline.

The mix of property types is also informative. None of his sales, 0%, were new construction, which is consistent with a practice centered on existing homes. About 13% were renovated properties, and one sale, 1 of 16, was a multifamily property. The remainder were conventional resales of existing homes. A multifamily sale in a small book of business shows he works with income-producing property as well as single-family houses.

Every one of the 16 transactions was a listing-side sale. There were no buyer-side closings in the period, so the numbers speak specifically to his work marketing and selling homes for owners.

Where he works

The area breakdown shows a practice with a clear center of gravity. Harrison Township leads with 4 sales, the most of any single area on his list. Trotwood, Fairborn and Huber Heights each account for 2 sales. Single sales were recorded in College Hill, Northern Hills, Miami Township, Riverside and Cornell Heights. Taken by the broader West Dayton grouping used in MLS reporting, 9 sales fall in that part of the city, and 3 are in the City of Dayton proper.

Harrison Township is the best-documented part of his work. His four sales there had a median price of $110,875, compared with an area median of $130,000. His sales in the township were therefore priced at about 85% of the typical figure, which points to homes at the more accessible end of that market.

In Trotwood, his two sales had a median of $86,750, against an area median of $165,000. In Fairborn, his two sales had a median of $94,462, while the area median is $223,000. In both places he has worked with homes well below the typical price, the kind of property that often needs updating and that draws buyers looking for value or a project.

Huber Heights shows a different profile. His two sales there had a median of $175,000, relatively close to the area median of $230,000. That suggests he is able to handle homes in the middle of the market as well as the low end.

Miami Township and Riverside round out the higher-priced portion of his record. In Miami Township, a single sale closed at $158,500, compared with an area median of $258,969. In Riverside, the one sale closed at $178,600, against an area median of $195,000, which is the narrowest gap among his areas and puts that sale close to what is typical there.

In the city’s neighborhoods, College Hill saw one sale at $82,000 against an area median of $130,000, and Northern Hills saw one at $67,000 against an area median of $130,000. Cornell Heights also has one sale on his record. With only one sale in each of these areas, the figures are best read as individual data points, but they show that his work reaches across a number of Dayton neighborhoods and not just one corridor.

Reading the price gaps

Across the areas where an area median is available, his median sale price is below the local figure in every case. That pattern is worth understanding on its own terms. It reflects a focus on homes at the lower end of each market: smaller houses, properties in need of work, and some that were likely bought as investments or renovation projects. The 13% renovated share and the multifamily sale fit that picture.

For sellers of such homes, a clean and efficient sale matters more than a headline price. A median of 98.9% of list price and a 33-day median time on market indicate that his listings are generally reaching buyers at or near the asking price without lingering for months. Five of his 16 listings reached or exceeded the asking price, which shows that a share of these homes drew competitive interest.

For buyers and investors reading the market, the spread between his prices and area medians shows how much room there is below the typical price in places like Fairborn, Trotwood and Miami Township. In Fairborn, for example, his median of $94,462 sits well under the area median of $223,000, a reminder that a single area figure can cover a wide range of homes, from modest starter properties to substantially larger ones.

How he compares locally

Dayton Report tracks agent activity by area, and Gary Garrison appears on several of those leaderboards despite a relatively short period of activity. In West Dayton, his 9 sales place him 10th. In a large and active area, a top-ten position in a stretch of a few months is a notable showing.

His placement is higher in the smaller neighborhood rankings. In Northern Hills, a single sale puts him 5th. In College Hill, one sale places him 3rd, and in Cornell Heights, one sale places him 2nd. These rankings reflect how few transactions occur in some neighborhoods over a given window, so one closing can move an agent well up the list. Still, they show that he has closed sales in areas where activity is limited.

Taken together, the figures describe an agent with a working record across the Dayton area: 16 listing sales, a median of 33 days on market, and sale prices that averaged close to 99% of list. His strongest concentration is in West Dayton and Harrison Township, with a spread of additional sales across the surrounding townships and suburbs. As his record grows beyond this first stretch of activity, the area totals and rankings above will show whether that concentration continues or broadens.
