Cincinnati, OH illustrative estimate
Cincinnati, OH illustrative home sale net proceeds estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. The local-cost input is an editable cost reserve, not a verified local tax rate.

Selling a Cincinnati house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff’s sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn’t postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don’t have to worry about the house anymore — we’ll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don’t have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You’re done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don’t stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there’s nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Redfin’s median sale price and Zillow’s typical home value are different measures; neither is an offer or an appraisal for a particular house.
Cincinnati selling costs: the conveyance fee
Ohio requires a state conveyance fee of $1 per $1,000 of sale price and allows a county to add up to $3 per $1,000. On a $100,000 sale, the state portion is $100 and the county may add up to $300. Check the Hamilton County Auditor for the current local total. When you sell to us, we pay it.
That example is the conveyance fee, not a quote for every settlement line. Ask the title company to show property-specific payoffs, liens, prorations, and other charges in the written closing figures.
What Cincinnati sellers should know
Older homes and historic conservation
Cincinnati’s housing includes historically or architecturally significant structures and districts alongside aging buildings. City Planning addresses historic conservation, and the Buildings Department identifies blight and safety hazards in aging housing as local concerns.
Before budgeting exterior work or responding to a safety notice, check the exact address and question with the City office that handles it. If you sell to us, you don’t have to repair or clean out the house first.

Questions about selling a house in Cincinnati
Can I sell my Cincinnati house without repairs or cleaning?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What is Hamilton County’s conveyance fee?
Ohio requires a state conveyance fee of $1 per $1,000 and lets a county add up to $3 per $1,000. On a $100,000 sale, the state portion is $100 and a county may add up to $300. Check the Hamilton County Auditor for the current local total. When you sell to us, we pay it.
What if I inherited a Cincinnati house?
Hamilton County Probate Court lists distribution of assets from generation to generation among its services. The records and who can sign are specific to the estate and property. Gather the court or estate paperwork you have and ask your attorney and title company to confirm what is needed for this sale.
What if the property has back taxes or liens?
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don’t have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Can an agreement of sale postpone a Cincinnati sheriff’s sale?
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff’s sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn’t postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
What happens to insurance proceeds on a fire-damaged house?
You keep your insurance proceeds when we buy the house exactly as it stands. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Does this page cover Norwood or homes across the river?
This page is for the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio. Norwood is a separate nearby municipality, not a Cincinnati neighborhood. Kentucky and Indiana properties are outside this page’s Ohio jurisdiction, so do not use its local fee or court information for those addresses.
