937 Homebuyers is based here and buys directly in the city of Dayton. When you send us an address in Old North Dayton, Belmont, Walnut Hills, McCook Field, Riverdale, or anywhere else inside the city, the person looking at your house lives and works in the same county.

Buying directly means we are the buyer, not a middleman shopping your address around. There is no listing, no sign in the yard, no showings, and no commission taken out of your side when we buy.

Local Housing

Dayton's housing stock and what it means for your sale

Dayton is one of the older housing markets in Ohio, and that shapes everything about selling here. Much of the city's stock predates World War II — two-story frame houses, brick four-squares, and bungalows with original wiring, plaster walls, and basements that have been dry for decades and then suddenly are not.

Because condition varies so widely block to block, two similar houses on the same street can be worth very different numbers. A mortgage appraiser looking at a house with knob-and-tube wiring, an aging furnace, or a roof at the end of its life will often flag it, which quietly removes most financed buyers from the pool. That is a large part of why as-is buyers exist here.

Dayton also has a lot of small landlords. Many of the houses we buy in the city are one- or two-property rentals somebody kept after a move or inherited, and those come to us occupied, mid-turnover, or sitting empty.

Why Sellers Call

Why Dayton homeowners call us

  • An older house with a real repair list

    Roof, furnace, electrical panel, or foundation work that costs more than the owner wants to put into a house they are leaving.

  • An inherited family home

    Often full of belongings and decades behind on updates, with heirs spread across several states.

  • A rental they are done with

    Turnovers, repairs, and nonpaying tenants add up fast at city price points.

  • City code notices

    Open orders from a city housing or nuisance inspection scare financed buyers. We take them on.

  • Foreclosure or delinquent taxes

    Selling before the process finishes is usually how homeowners keep whatever equity is left.

  • A vacant house they no longer live near

    Insurance, utilities, and the drive over to check on it are the costs people get tired of.

How It Works

Selling to 937 Homebuyers in Dayton

  1. 1

    Send us the address

    Type your Dayton address into the form and we'll take it from there. It takes about a minute.

  2. 2

    We look at the house once

    One visit, in whatever condition it's in. No showings, no sign in the yard, no open house.

  3. 3

    You get a written number and pick the date

    No fee, no obligation. If a listing would serve you better, we'll say so.

Dayton sales run through Montgomery County records, so title searches routinely turn up old mortgages, judgment liens, city charges, and unpaid taxes. Those get paid from the proceeds at closing rather than out of your pocket first.

Selling As-Is

What as-is means for a Dayton house

As-is means we buy the house in the condition it is in right now. No roof, no furnace, no paint, no flooring, no cleanout, and no waiting for a contractor to fit you in.

You do not need to make repairs or clean the property before selling directly to us. Take what you want and leave the rest — furniture, appliances, garage and basement contents included.

Comparing Your Options

Cash sale or traditional listing

Neither is right for every house. Here's how we think about it in this market.

When selling directly to us may make sense

  • The house needs work that would keep a financed buyer from qualifying.
  • It is vacant, tenant-occupied, or carrying open code notices.
  • You need a definite date because of foreclosure, taxes, or a move.
  • You would rather not manage showings on a house you have already left.

When listing through 937 Realty may make more sense

  • The house has been updated and would show well to a retail buyer.
  • You have time to wait out a normal marketing period.
  • Comparable updated homes nearby have been selling at strong prices.
