Can I sell my home as-is in Springfield Ohio?

Yes, homeowners in Springfield Ohio can sell their home as-is, meaning they will not make repairs or improvements before closing. This approach can make sense for sellers who need to move quickly, have limited time or funds for repairs, or are selling an inherited property. However, selling as-is usually means the buyer will expect a lower price to account for the work that still needs to be done.

In Springfield, homes sold as-is often attract investors, cash buyers, or homeowners who plan to remodel. The trade-off is convenience for price. Sellers save on repair costs but typically receive lower offers. According to national data, as-is homes can sell for 10 to 20 percent less than move-in-ready properties. Buyers will still complete inspections, and sellers must legally disclose known defects under Ohio law. That means even an as-is sale does not remove the need for honesty about the home’s condition.

Springfield and Clark County homeowners considering an as-is sale should evaluate their goals and the property’s condition. For homes with major system issues such as an aging roof, plumbing concerns, or electrical upgrades needed, it may be more practical to price competitively and market to cash buyers. In contrast, if the home only needs cosmetic work, investing in light updates can produce a higher return. Amanda Mullins helps sellers compare both paths using recent Springfield market data.
