Buying a home in the Dayton area
Buying a home in the Dayton area, in the order it happens: pre-approval, what earnest money is and how much is typical here, what a budget buys in a given community, and how to compete when a listing goes pending in days. Nothing in these articles ranks a neighborhood. Each gives you the number, the source and how to look it up for the address you are considering. If you are not ready to buy yet, Homeward, the free coaching program run by Jenna Gray, Dayton realtor with Plum Tree Realty, is where to start.
