What the Dayton numbers mean for your house
Redfin’s median sale price summarizes completed sales for its stated place and period. A citywide median is not an appraisal or a price for one Dayton house.
Zillow's typical home value is a modeled market measure, not a price for your address: $137,939 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Dayton, OH).
Condition and repair needs can change the comparison. A tenant-occupied house may have different access and timing considerations than a vacant one. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. Include the payoff and the costs you carry while deciding whether to list, repair, or sell as-is.
Local selling costs: Ohio’s conveyance fee
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells: $1 per $1,000 of the price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 the county can add (Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54, 322.02). For the Ohio conveyance fee, check the Montgomery County Auditor's deed-transfer page or contact the Greene County Auditor about the county amount. When you sell to us, we pay it.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Repairs, cleanout, and the bills you carry while you own the house also affect what you keep.
What might you keep after the sale?
The sale price is not the same as the money left after costs. Compare the price or written offer with your payoff, repairs and cleanout, selling costs, and bills while you own the property. If you list, include the costs of that route too.
Use the calculator to change the assumptions for your house and compare what you may keep from different sale paths. A town-wide median cannot supply your payoff, repair budget, or holding costs.

Questions about the Dayton market report
Do Dayton market numbers tell me what my house is worth?
No. The measures describe the named places and periods, not a price for your address. Condition, repairs, tenant occupancy, title or payoff questions, and timing affect the choices you compare for one house.
What is the Ohio conveyance fee for a Dayton-area sale?
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells: $1 per $1,000 of the price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 the county can add (Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54, 322.02). For the Ohio conveyance fee, see the county Auditor links in the local-cost section for Montgomery or Greene County. When you sell to us, we pay it.
What should I subtract to see what I may keep?
Start with the sale price, then account for the mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, selling costs, and expenses while you own the house. If you list, include the costs of that path too. The Dayton home-sale calculator lets you compare those assumptions.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house before selling to you?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
