What the numbers mean
A town-wide measure does not price your house
The numbers describe the market, source, and period named beside each measure. They are not a value for a particular Mount Vernon address. Condition, repairs, tenant occupancy, access, and timing can all change the comparison between selling directly and listing.
For your own comparison, put the expected sale price beside the work and costs for that house. A repair-heavy or tenant-occupied property may involve different preparation, access, and timing than a vacant, move-in-ready house.
Local selling costs
Ohio’s conveyance fee belongs in the comparison
Ohio’s conveyance fee is a required $1 per $1,000 of sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54, 322.02). When you sell to us, we pay it.
Mount Vernon is in Knox County. For a county deed or property-record question, start with the Knox County Recorder.
What you may keep
Sale price is not the same as money left after costs
To compare your options, account for the mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you own the house. The balance after those costs is your net proceeds.
Compare what you may keep with the Mount Vernon calculator →Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
Mount Vernon market report questions
Can a Mount Vernon market number tell me what my house is worth?
No. Each number describes the place, measure, and period shown in the market display. Your house’s condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing can change the comparison for your particular property.
Why do the market display’s figures use different measures?
The rows identify their own measure, source, place, and period. Read those labels together; the figures are market context, not a price for one house.
What is Ohio’s conveyance fee?
Ohio’s conveyance fee is $1 per $1,000 of sale price under state law, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000. When you sell to us, we pay it.
How can I compare sale price with what I would keep?
Compare the sale price with your mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you own the house. The calculator lets you test your own assumptions; its result is only an estimate.
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.”
“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.”
“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.”
