Why Oakwood Homeowners Choose a Cash Sale

Oakwood’s Pre-Sale Inspection: The Step Most Sellers Don’t Expect

Oakwood is one of the few places around Dayton where the city has to look at a house before it can change hands. Under the City of Oakwood’s Pre-Sale Inspection Program, the owner must obtain a pre-sale inspection before transferring the property, and the buyer has to be given a copy of any conditional Certificate of Occupancy or violation notice. A city inspector walks the interior and the exterior against Oakwood’s building, zoning and property maintenance codes. Once any violations are dealt with, the city issues the Certificate of Occupancy needed to close. An inspection stays valid for one year, and the city suggests scheduling it early so it does not hold up a sale.

For a house built between the 1910s and the 1930s, that inspection is where a sale can stall. Oakwood incorporated in 1908 and grew fastest in the years after the 1913 flood, so most of its homes are pre-war: Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, white clapboard colonials, and the occasional Gothic Revival or Swiss chalet, with the larger and hillier lots on the west side of Far Hills Avenue. Original roofs, brick and chimney work that needs repointing, old wiring and plumbing, and front steps or walks that have shifted over a century are the sort of things a code inspection looks at. Oakwood’s standards also cover the outside of the house, so peeling trim or a tired fence can end up on the same list as the furnace.

What Happens to the Repair List When You Sell As-Is

You do not necessarily have to finish every item yourself. Oakwood publishes a Transfer of Responsibility form under Section 111.6.1 of its Property Maintenance Code: the buyer signs it before a notary and agrees to take on the repairs listed in the pre-sale inspection letter. That form is what makes an as-is sale workable here. A cash buyer like us can agree to take the list on, so it does not have to be cleared before you close. Whether a specific item can be transferred is the city’s call, and the Oakwood Zoning Department at (937) 297-2920 can confirm it for your address.

In Oakwood, the sellers who get the most out of a cash sale are rarely in money trouble. More often they are adult children settling a parent’s estate, sometimes from out of state, or long-time owners moving to a single-floor home who do not want to manage an inspection, a repair crew and weeks of showings at the same time. If that is you, our pages on selling an inherited house in the Dayton area and downsizing from a long-time family home walk through both situations, and the cash sale FAQ covers how our offers and closings work.
