|  | | | Dayton Ohio residents enjoy four seasons each with its own popular activities! | |
The Miami Valley enjoys four distinct and beautiful seasons with a variety of popular activities. Residents celebrate the variety of weather (most of the time) in the area. Most would say that spring and fall are their favorite!  |  | | Snowfall turns the Dayton area into a winter wonderland for man and beast! Our youngest son enjoys the first snow fall of the season with our collie. |
 WINTER Winter lasts from December through February with average temperatures around 25 degrees F. Low temperatures can dip to single digits, but do not often drop below zero. Northern Ohio receives much more snow than our area due to the lake-affect moisture patterns. Yet in the valley we might receive 20 – 30 inches of snow during the season. One thing that many residents tire of quickly during our winters is the long stretch of “gray” days. We often get beautiful days with warm temperatures in January and February that tease us into thinking Spring is here early – wrong! Popular Winter Activities: Sledding at area parks when the snow accumulates. Ice Skating at the Kettering Ice Arena located at the Kettering Recreation Complex. Going to Dayton Bombers Hockey games at the Nutter Center on the North side of Beavercreek. Holiday Christmas parties and concerts are numerous in Dayton.
 | | | Spring fever usually hits in February and everyone is anxious to be outside! A little rain is not stopping our son from enjoying the patio and pond. | |
SPRING Spring temperatures begin to warm the Dayton landscapes by mid March and are in full swing by the time April rolls around. Temperatures range from 40 through 70 degrees F throughout the spring months. This season often brings the most rainfall. Grab an umbrella! Popular Spring Activities: Hiking at local Metro Parks. Fishing. Gardening, Golfing at Springboro’s Heatherwoode or Beavercreek’s Public Course. Baseball is a popular sport in the area with the Dayton Dragons and the Cincinnati Reds. Bellbrook hosts the first festival of the season – The Sugar Maple Festival. SUMMER Local Schools conclude the first week in June and vacation season begins. June tends to be more mild compared to the drying heat of July & August. Summer can be extremely hot and humid in the Miami Valley, but the heat doesn’t often limit outdoor activities like you might find in southern states. Temperatures can reach into the 90s frequently in July and August. Popular Summer Activities: Swimming at local community pools and water parks. Camping at nearby state parks and camp grounds. Canoeing is popular on area rivers including the Little Miami River. Bicycling along the Greater Dayton bike path that connects Dayton to Beavercreek, Xenia, Yellow Springs, Waynesville to Cincinnati. The Dayton Air Show draws huge crowds each year. Tennis and golf come into full swing in the area.

Selling Your Home >An Empty House
There are two schools of thought about whether it is better to show a house empty or with the furnishings in it. An empty house is like a blank canvas, and prospective buyers can more easily imagine what their things would look like in it. But buyers could take the fact that the house is vacant as a sign that the sellers are very anxious to sell and, therefore, might entertain a low offer.
Our recommendations are usually based on how the house would look. Personal taste is highly subjective. Unless your furniture looks really wonderful and is neutral in color and conservative in style, it could distract buyers from the most attractive qualities of your home. The fact that your home is vacant could give it a competitive edge when they make their final selection. Will it attract low offers? It might, but if the price is right, it will attract reasonable offers, too.
