What the numbers mean
A market figure cannot price your particular house
A town-wide measure summarizes the homes, places, and dates shown in its source. Your house may compare differently because of its condition, needed repairs or cleanout, access, occupancy, payoff, and the timing you need.
If tenants live there, include access and timing in the comparison. A listing may also mean repairs, preparation, and bills while you wait. Compare those costs with the written offer and terms for your house.
Local selling costs
Ohio conveyance fee and Columbiana County records
Ohio law requires the seller to pay a conveyance fee when a house sells: $1 per $1,000 of sale price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 that the county may add. The Ohio conveyance fee is the charge described here. When you sell to us, we pay it.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
For Columbiana County property records and tax-estimator lookups, use the County Auditor’s official information. Salem Township is separate from the City of Salem, and the City directs residents to its address-number range list to check whether a property is within city limits. Confirm the property’s actual municipality before relying on city-specific information.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, repairs and cleanout, listing costs if you list, closing costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. What remains after those costs is different from the top-line sale price.

Salem market report questions
Do Salem market numbers tell me what my house is worth?
No. A figure in the market display describes the measure, source, geography, and period shown with it. It is market context, not a price for your particular house. Condition, repairs, occupancy, and timing change the comparison.
How do repairs, tenants, and timing affect my comparison?
Repairs and cleanout can add costs before a listing. With tenants, access and the timing you are considering matter. Waiting can also mean carrying utilities, insurance, and other bills. Compare those details for your house rather than applying a town-wide figure to it.
Does a Salem mailing address mean the house is inside the City of Salem?
Not necessarily. Salem Township is separate from the City of Salem. Check the property’s actual municipality before relying on city-specific information.
Is the sale price the same as the money I keep?
No. The sale price is before your mortgage payoff and selling costs. Repairs, listing costs if you list, closing costs, and bills while you wait can also change what is left.
