What counts as luxury real estate in Ohio
The convention this site uses
In Ohio, this site treats homes at $1M and above as luxury. That is our own fixed band, set so the covered markets are the ones where the top of the market actually trades at that level. It is not a loan limit and it is not a median; the medians below are the middle of each market, and luxury inventory trades well above them. The rule and its reasoning are on the methodology page.

What changes at this price in Ohio
Each fact links to the statute or agency that says so. Facts we could not verify against an official source are left out rather than guessed.
- Transfer and mansion taxes
- Ohio charges a real property conveyance fee of $1.00 per $1,000 of price, and counties may add a permissive fee of up to $3.00 per $1,000, so the combined charge is between 0.1 and 0.4 percent depending on the county. Source
- Agency and dual agency
- Ohio permits dual agency only with the informed written consent of both parties on the statutory Dual Agency Disclosure Statement, and every consumer receives the Consumer Guide to Agency Relationships. Source
- Seller disclosure
- Ohio sellers of residential property with one to four units must deliver the statutory Residential Property Disclosure Form before the buyer signs a purchase contract. Source
- State estate or inheritance tax
- Ohio levies no state estate tax and no inheritance tax, so only the federal estate tax applies to a large estate. The Ohio estate tax was repealed for deaths on or after January 1, 2013. Source
