Supply, Buyer Competition & Market Conditions

Inventory across the broader Miami Valley region remains tight. According to Dayton Realtors, the active MLS inventory stood at ~2,482 single-family and condo listings, representing roughly a 1.8 months’ supply — firmly in “seller’s market” territory.

Locally in Centerville/Washington Twp, anecdotal evidence and local real estate reports suggest that homes are selling reasonably quickly, with multiple offers common in desirable neighborhoods. A March 2025 market review for Centerville & Washington Twp showed average days on market of ~66 days, with strong buyer interest.

While some homes still sell slightly under list, well-priced and well-positioned homes are drawing strong attention.

Mortgage Rates & Buyer Considerations

Mortgage rates have been volatile in 2025. Many buyers are seeing 30-year fixed rates in the 6 %–7 % range (or higher depending on credit and mortgage product). While that rate environment reduces affordability somewhat, many buyers are still motivated. Sellers should be mindful that buyer budgets are more constrained than in ultra-low rate years, so pricing, staging, and marketing are even more critical.

Given the tight supply and steady demand, buyers need to be prepared with pre-approval, swift decision making, and sometimes offering over list. But the trajectory suggests continued growth in values, making 2025 a sound time to invest in “Centerville Washington Township Ohio homes for sale” if you can find the right property.

Centerville and Washington Township remain among the more stable, high-desirability suburbs in the Dayton metro area. With strong schools, engaged community life, and consistently appreciating home values, this region continues to attract both families and investors.

For buyers: be ready to move quickly, align expectations with interest-rate realities, and focus on quality homes in strong locations.
