Ohio homeowners with a house on the market might get a slight surprise before they sign the final paperwork. Typically, a seller can expect to pay between 3% and 6% of a home’s sale price as commission, plus another 2% to 4% for closing costs, including taxes, settlement fees, and title fees.

The average home sale price in Ohio was $302,384 in August 2024 compared to a 2023 average of $285,746. That means $6,047 to $12,095 of your home sale may go towards paying closing costs.

While Ohioans can typically expect to pay less in closing costs than sellers in higher-cost places like the District of Columbia or New York State, the average seller in Ohio can expect to pay relatively high closing costs compared to their Midwestern neighbors in Missouri and Indiana.
