What the numbers mean
A town-wide figure does not price your particular house
A modeled reference for the named area—not an offer or a price for your home: $93,569 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Portsmouth, OH)
Condition, needed repairs or cleanout, whether tenants live there, and the timing you need can change the costs and choices for your house. Compare what each path would leave you after those costs, rather than relying on a market average.
Local selling costs
Check the Ohio conveyance fee for Scioto County
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. State law sets a fee of $1 per $1,000 of the price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000; the law places the fee on the seller (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54, 322.02). The Scioto County Auditor can confirm the local amount that applies to your sale. Scioto County Auditor portal →
The Ohio conveyance fee is one cost in this comparison. When you sell to us, we pay it.
What you may keep
The sale price is not the money left after costs
Compare the sale price or written offer with repairs or cleanout, your mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and the utilities, insurance, and taxes you carry while you wait. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Portsmouth market report questions and seller reviews
Questions about your Portsmouth sale comparison
Can a Portsmouth market number tell me what my house is worth?
No. A market measure describes the geography and period shown with its source. It is context for comparing choices, not a price for your particular house; its condition, repairs, occupancy, and timing matter.
Do repairs, tenants, and timing change the comparison?
Yes. Repair or cleanout costs, whether tenants live there, access, and how long you carry the house can change what you keep from each path. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Who can confirm the Scioto County conveyance-fee amount?
The Scioto County Auditor is the county contact for conveyance-fee questions. The official Auditor portal is linked in the local selling-cost section.
How do I compare a sale price with what I may keep?
Compare the sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, repairs or cleanout, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
