Current local measures

What are houses selling for in Cleveland?

These maintained measures are for the exact Cleveland, OH place. Each row keeps its measure, provider, place, and reporting period together; Redfin sale and activity figures answer different questions from Zillow's modeled home value and inventory count.

Housing prices and selling conditions

These measures describe housing prices and selling conditions for the areas and periods shown. Compare them alongside repair costs, your mortgage payoff and selling costs.

What the measures mean for your house

A city-wide figure does not price your particular house

A median sale price describes the middle of completed sales for its stated place and period. It is a starting point, not a price for your address. Zillow's typical home value is a separate modeled measure, not another name for a sale-price median.

Your comparison depends on the house's condition and repair needs, whether it is vacant or tenant-occupied, access for buyers, title and payoff details, and how long you can wait. Those details affect the options and costs to compare.

A house that needs repairs or cleanout can be reviewed as-is. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Ohio and Cuyahoga County selling costs

Put the conveyance fee in the settlement comparison

Ohio conveyance fee

Ohio law makes the seller responsible for a conveyance fee, a charge for transferring property. The state fee is $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54, 322.02). Check the amount that applies to the property in the settlement figures rather than assuming a Cuyahoga County total. When you sell to us, we pay it.

What you may keep

Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers

Start with a realistic sale price or written offer. Subtract mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. The amount at the top of a sale is not automatically what you keep.

Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.

“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
Barbara and Howard W.Canfield Road, Youngstown OHMarch 2026
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
Denise K.Brier Hill, Youngstown OHFebruary 2026
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Ed and Clara B.Stambaugh-Thompson, Youngstown OHJanuary 2026

Cleveland market report questions

What do the current Cleveland market measures show?

The table keeps each Redfin or Zillow measure beside its Cleveland, OH geography, reporting period, and public source. Redfin sale and activity figures are different measures from Zillow’s modeled typical home value and for-sale inventory.

Does the Cleveland median sale price tell me what my house is worth?

No. A median summarizes completed sales for a place and period; it does not price your address. Condition, repairs, size, occupancy, access, title, and sale terms can change the comparison.

How should I compare repairs, tenants, and timing?

Put the house’s condition and likely repairs beside its occupancy, access, title and payoff details, and the time you can wait. Include the bills you keep paying while the house is on the market or otherwise unsold.

What is the Ohio conveyance fee?

Ohio law makes the seller responsible for a conveyance fee of $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, with a county option to add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54, 322.02). Check the amount that applies to the property in the settlement figures; this page does not state a Cuyahoga County total. When you sell to us, we pay it.

How can I estimate what I would keep after a sale?

Compare the sale price with mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing costs if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. The Cleveland calculator lets you change planning assumptions; its result is not the sale price.
