💡 Key Insights: What Most Cleveland Homeowners Don’t Know
Based on our experience buying houses throughout Cleveland, Ohio since 2003:
Local Market Reality: Cleveland area properties typically take 60-90 days to sell traditionally, but we can close in 7-14 days with cash
Hidden Cost Truth: After realtor fees (6%), repairs, staging, and carrying costs, most Cleveland, OH sellers net 70-80% of list price – often similar to our fair cash offers
Cleveland-Specific Challenges: Many older homes in Cleveland neighborhoods need foundation or electrical work that delays traditional sales
Seasonal Advantage: We’ve noticed Cleveland homes sell 25% faster in spring/summer – but cash sales work year-round regardless of Ohio weather
Renovation Reality: 70% of Greater Cleveland homes we purchase need $10K+ in repairs that sellers can’t afford upfront
These insights come from our actual transaction data throughout Cuyahoga County – not market estimates.
