A $385,000 median list price (June 2026, Redfin/MLS-sourced) sits below a separately cited $447,774 median home value (HomeSnacks) and a $464,000 median asking price among current single-story listings (a point-in-time Redfin snapshot, not a closed-sale figure) -- all disclosed together rather than reconciled.
Above Fernley, below the broader Reno-Sparks metro
Dayton's housing runs somewhat above the figures documented for nearby Fernley in this same pass's fernley-nv.js, consistent with Dayton's somewhat older, more established housing stock and its closer Carson Valley/Carson City proximity -- while still sitting meaningfully below the broader Reno-Sparks metro median.
