Buyers: There's a home for every budget here, from West Carrollton in the low $200s to Washington Township near $440k. The area median is 31 days on market, so you have a little more room to think than you did in spring, but the good ones still go fast. Get pre-approved before you fall in love with something.

Sellers: Homes are still selling at about 99.7% of list price area-wide. Days on market crept up to 31 this month, which means the well-prepped, well-priced homes are pulling away from everything else. My designer eye makes sure yours is in the first group.
