Winter break (with its ensuing snow and bitter temperatures) is well behind us. Spring break just ended. On May 29, parents of a certain age will be singing, “School’s out for summer.”
Ready or not, if you’re thinking at all about moving in the near future, there’s no better time than right now. Here’s why: As of Mar. 1, 2026, Oakwood has such a scarcity of inventory—only 13 homes on the market—that homes are selling like hotcakes.
Take, for example, a mid-priced Oakwood home that went on the market on Jan. 8, when the windchill was -10°F. As the selling agent, we dedicated much of our full-page ad in The Oakwood Register to this home. Within the first two days, the property had more than a dozen showings and multiple offers. The sale closed on Feb. 12. All of this occurred during the height of the worst winter weather in several years, underscoring the importance of working with an experienced Oakwood real estate agent.
“Jill Aldineh and her team are absolutely outstanding,” said Scott K., the satisfied Oakwood seller. “They work tirelessly at all hours, to get the best results, whether you’re buying or selling…. Their knowledge, communication and dedication are unmatched.”
Oakwood real estate agents have a distinct advantage in truly knowing the area. Agents from Centerville or Beavercreek may not fully understand the nuances, advantages and challenges of this unique market, compared to those who have sold hundreds of homes in the Oakwood community. Success in Oakwood real estate isn’t just about finding a buyer; it’s also about successfully navigating the inspection process. Because of Oakwood’s almost exclusively older housing stock, unique challenges can arise during inspections. Experience matters greatly in getting a transaction all the way to closing.
Mary B. of Oakwood concurs. “We worked with several agents and interviewed many, but only one brings exceptional, high level concierge service to the table,” Mary said. “Jill Team provides as much or as little as you need, delivered immediately, at no additional cost.” Important components include prepping and staging, two elements critical to securing top dollar sales, in the shortest amount of time possible. “This has helped us sell six properties!”
Buyers are always clamoring to move into Oakwood, thanks to all of the wonderful features that make our community so desirable. Although families with children are often motivated to find a home in the spring and settle in during the summer break, homes here sell well year-round. Make Oakwood’s lack of inventory work for you!
If you are considering selling, you want an agent whose finger is on the pulse of what’s happening in our area right now. Jill Team can also help declutter and stage your property, to sell your home more quickly and for the most money. Email jill@teamjill.com or call 937-689-2858.
