What the numbers mean
A market measure is context, not a price for your house
Each number above applies to the source, geography, and period shown beside it. Those broad measures help describe the market; they do not value a specific Cincinnati address.
The condition of your house, needed repairs or cleanout, whether it is vacant or tenant-occupied, access, and the time you can carry it all affect the comparison. A house that needs work or tenant coordination has different costs and choices from one ready to show.
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with the payoff, repair and cleanout costs, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and the bills that continue while you wait. Look at what may remain after those costs, not only the headline price.
Local selling costs
Include Ohio’s conveyance fee in the comparison
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. By law, the seller pays it: $1 per $1,000 of the price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 that a county may add (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54, 322.02). Use the rate that applies to the property in Hamilton County. When you sell to us, we pay it.
What you may keep
The sale price is not the money left after costs
Start with the sale price or written offer you are considering. Subtract the mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing commission if you list, closing costs, and the utilities, insurance, taxes, and other bills you expect to carry while you wait. That comparison shows what you may keep from each path.

Cincinnati market report questions
Can a Cincinnati market number tell me what my house is worth?
No. A market measure summarizes the place and period shown; it does not price your address. Use each figure with its source, geography, and period, then compare the condition, repair needs, occupancy, and timing of your own house.
Do repairs, tenants, or timing change the comparison?
Yes. Repair work, cleanout, who lives in the house, access, and the bills you carry while waiting can change what you keep and which sale path fits. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How does the Ohio conveyance fee work?
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. By law, the seller pays it: $1 per $1,000 of the price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 that a county may add (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54, 322.02). Use the rate that applies to the property in Hamilton County. When you sell to us, we pay it.
How can I compare the sale price with what I may keep?
Start with the sale price or written offer, then account for the mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing commission if you list, closing costs, and bills while you wait. Use the Cincinnati calculator to compare the estimated amount left after those costs.
