What the numbers mean
Compare the market with the house you have
A city-wide figure is a reference point, not a price for your address. A house that needs repairs or cleanout, has tenants, or is hard to access may involve different costs and timing than an updated, easy-to-show house.
Compare a realistic listing plan with a direct offer using the costs that apply to your property: repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. A tenant or a deadline can also affect how much time you have for showings and preparation.
For an as-is sale, we buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Local selling costs
Include Ohio’s conveyance fee in the closing-cost comparison
The Ohio conveyance fee is a closing charge when a home sells. Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54 and 322.02 set a state fee of $1 per $1,000 of sale price and allow a county addition of up to $3 per $1,000. A county may set a smaller local addition, so use the amount applied to your sale when comparing costs. When you sell to us, we pay it.
For parcel and recorded-deed information, Van Wert County provides public resources through its Recorder’s Office and Auditor property information.
What you may keep
Sale price and net proceeds are different numbers
Sale price is the amount before costs. Net proceeds are the money left after costs such as repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. The home-sale net proceeds calculator lets you change the assumptions and compare what you might keep.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
Van Wert market report questions
Does a Van Wert market number tell me what my house is worth?
No. A market-wide median or modeled value is context, not a price for one address. Condition, repairs, access, occupancy, title, and timing can change the comparison for your house.
How can repairs or tenants affect the comparison?
Repairs can add costs before a listing, while tenant occupancy can affect access and timing. Compare those details with the costs and time involved in each sale path. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What is the Ohio conveyance fee?
The Ohio conveyance fee is a closing charge when a home sells. Ohio law sets a state fee of $1 per $1,000 of sale price and allows a county addition of up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54 and 322.02). Use the amount applied to your sale when comparing costs. When you sell to us, we pay it.
What is the difference between sale price and what I keep?
Sale price is the amount before costs. What you keep is the money left after costs such as repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions for your comparison.
