Selling for cash in Dayton: questions
Can I sell a Dayton house the city has put on a demolition list?
Often yes, if you act before the order is carried out. A buyer who will repair the house can work with the city on the order. Call the city about the deadline right away.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Dayton?
Ohio sales close through a title company, which pays off the mortgage, the county taxes and any liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Montgomery County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
