Selling a house in East Price Hill
East Price Hill is one of the oldest neighborhoods on Cincinnati's west side, built up on the hill above the Mill Creek valley and the river. Most houses are a century old or close to it, and a lot of them carry deferred work. That is exactly the kind of house I buy.
The neighborhood runs along Glenway Avenue and Warsaw Avenue, with side streets that climb and drop in every direction. Brick two-families, narrow frame houses and corner buildings with a storefront downstairs are all common here, and many have changed hands as rentals more than once. A buyer with a mortgage often struggles with those houses. A cash buyer does not.
What do homes in East Price Hill sell for?
Prices here sit well below the city's west-side suburbs. In the county's sales file for the year to July 2026, the median house sale in East Price Hill was around $121,000, across roughly 160 sales. Condition swings the number widely: a renovated two-family and a house with a failing roof are different markets.
That spread is why I ask to see the house before I put a number on it. I look at what renovated houses on nearby streets have sold for, subtract the real cost of the work yours needs, and show you how I got there.
What situations are most common in East Price Hill?
Back taxes and city code cases come up more here than almost anywhere in Cincinnati. Around 580 homes in the neighborhood owe property taxes, and the city has thousands of open code cases on East Price Hill addresses. Tired landlords and inherited houses round out the list.
If one of those is your situation, the details are on my pages about selling with back taxes, code violations, problem tenants and inherited houses.
Who handles code or zoning issues in East Price Hill?
East Price Hill is inside the City of Cincinnati, so housing code orders come from the city's Department of Buildings & Inspections and its Property Maintenance Code Enforcement division. Complaints go through 311. If you have an order, the inspector's name and number are on it.
The city's Buildings & Inspections site lists the programs. I buy East Price Hill houses with open orders and deal with the inspector after closing.
How fast can I sell my East Price Hill house?
Usually 14 to 30 days from a signed contract, and as little as 10 business days if the title is clear and you need it. If you need more time to move, we set a later date.
Call or text, and I can usually see the house within a day or two.
"He was very honest and told me what the market was selling for and what he could offer me. He paid a bit more than he wanted because we knew each other, and he also let the tenant leave anything they didn't want, which was almost a house full. Excellent for me, I didn't have to lift a finger. Would recommend Greg and his business at any time."
