Market Overview — reviewed 2026 source notes
Youngstown's housing market operates in two parallel realities. The reviewed Redfin Data Center exact-city row shows a $117,936 median sale price, +17.94% year over year, 181 homes sold, and 47 median days on market for the rolling three months ending 2026-06-30. The Zillow Research city ZHVI of $72,648 is separately dated 2026-06-30. Those sources measure different things and should not be blended. Older inventory, listing, and sale-to-list figures remain May 2026 supplemental context.
Redfin Mahoning County context is useful only as a labeled proxy, not a city replacement: the source notes show Mahoning County at $174,513 median sale price, 224 homes sold, 48 median days on market, and 923 active listings for May 2026. Zillow metro values are also context only.

Ohio Conveyance Fee — Mahoning County
Ohio doesn't use a "transfer tax." It uses a conveyance fee system under the Ohio Revised Code. In Mahoning County, the total conveyance fee is $4.00 per $1,000 of sale price, plus $0.50 per parcel for the transfer fee. The seller pays this at closing via the title company on DTE Form 100, filed with the Mahoning County Auditor.
| Component | Rate | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| State conveyance fee | $1.00/1,000 | ORC § 319.202 |
| Mahoning County permissive fee | $3.00/1,000 | ORC § 322.02 |
| Total | $4.00/1,000 + $0.50/parcel | Mahoning County Auditor |
On a $117,936 sale: about $471.74 conveyance fee + $0.50 parcel fee = ~$472.24 total before any property-specific title or document costs. When you sell to USA Home Buyers, we can cover typical seller closing costs when written into the offer — this fee comes out of our side, not yours.
