Dayton homeowners deal with old houses, a soft resale market in parts of the city, and in some neighborhoods, damage that never fully got fixed after the Memorial Day tornadoes of 2019. If your house needs work, has tenants, or is sitting empty, we can make you a cash offer and buy it the way it is.
We buy houses in all 50 states. These are just some of the areas we serve. Don't see your city? We still want to hear from you.
Dayton neighborhoods we buy in
We buy throughout the city, including Old North Dayton, Belmont, Huffman, Linden Heights, Walnut Hills, Five Oaks, Dayton View, Westwood, South Park, St. Anne's Hill and the Oregon District. We also buy in nearby communities like Trotwood, Harrison Township, Riverside, Kettering, Huber Heights and Beavercreek.
What we see in Dayton houses
- Storm damage. On May 27, 2019, an EF4 tornado tore through Trotwood, Harrison Township, Old North Dayton and Riverside, damaging thousands of structures across Montgomery County. Some homes still have roof, siding or structural issues from that night.
- Older frame and brick homes. Many neighborhoods close to downtown were built before World War II, so we see old roofs, outdated wiring and plumbing, and lead paint.
- Vacancy. Census estimates put Dayton's housing vacancy rate at roughly 1 in 6 units. Empty houses pick up break-ins, code violations and insurance problems quickly.
- Basements. Damp basements and settling foundations are common in older Dayton homes.
Why Dayton owners sell to us
Dayton's median home value is under $100,000, according to Census estimates, so a big repair can cost more than it adds to the sale price. That's when selling as-is often makes more sense than fixing. We also hear from landlords (about half of Dayton households rent), heirs who live out of town, and owners who are behind on payments.
See our pages for an inherited house, probate, a house that needs repairs, being a tired landlord, or a vacant house.
Probate and foreclosure in Dayton
Estates for Dayton residents are handled by the Montgomery County Probate Court. If the house is across the line in Beavercreek or elsewhere in Greene County, the Greene County Probate Court handles it. Ohio foreclosures go through the county Court of Common Pleas. Read more on our Ohio page.
Questions Dayton sellers ask
Will you buy a house that still has tornado or storm damage?
Yes. We buy damaged houses as-is, and you don't need to finish an insurance claim or repairs first.
What if there are open code violations on the house?
We can still buy it. Tell us what notices you've received and we'll account for them in the offer.
Can I leave furniture and belongings in the house?
Yes. Take what you want and leave the rest.
