Pickerington
Fairfield County, minutes from our Canal Winchester office. A written offer within 48 hours and a closing date you choose.
Answer first
Yes. RC Home Buyers buys Pickerington houses directly, as-is, with its own funds. Tell us the address, the condition and the timing that matters, and Phil will see the property and send a written offer within 48 hours. There are no repairs to make, no showings to host and no commissions to pay. We typically pay closing costs, and closing can happen in as few as 14 days when speed is what you need.
Local context
Pickerington is in Fairfield County, on the southeast side of the Columbus metro and a short drive from our office in Canal Winchester. County matters for where the deed is recorded and who bills your property taxes; it does not change how a cash purchase works. The title company runs the search and pays any back taxes, mortgage payoff, judgment lien or HOA claim out of the proceeds at closing.
For market context we use regional figures. The Central Ohio region recorded a median sale price of $350,000 in July 2026, with 6,193 active listings, 2.4 months of supply and 3,083 closed sales, plus a median 44 days on market in April 2026. We do not publish a Pickerington median, school-district comparison or neighborhood statistic, because those numbers would need a source we do not have. [[TBD: Pickerington-specific market data]].
Days on market is only half of the waiting. After roughly 44 days to go under contract, a buyer using a mortgage generally needs another 30 to 45 days to close — and that assumes the appraisal supports the price and underwriting approves the loan. Throughout that period the mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities remain your bills to pay.
Then the costs. Ohio’s average total real estate commission is 5.65%, roughly $19,775 on a house at the regional median, before repairs, cleaning or seller-paid closing costs. Anything a financed buyer’s inspector flags — roof, furnace, foundation, water damage — usually turns into a price reduction, a repair demand, or a dead deal.
A direct sale trades some possible market upside for certainty. RC Home Buyers is not a brokerage and does not list houses; we buy with our own funds, so the purchase is not conditional on financing. You get one firm written number to weigh against what a traditional sale might net you after months of carrying costs. [[TBD: number of houses bought in Pickerington]].

Any condition, any reason
Whatever brought you here, the process is the same: one visit, a written offer, and a closing date that works for you.
Houses come to us mid-probate, mid-divorce, behind on payments, with tenants still in place, or with damage a lender would refuse to finance. None of that stops a cash purchase. Read the page that matches your situation for the Ohio rules, real timelines and the questions homeowners ask most.

Two numbers matter more than any headline about the market: what you expect to keep, and how long you can carry the house while you wait. On a traditional sale, subtract commissions, seller-paid costs, repairs and cleaning, plus the taxes, insurance, utilities and mortgage payments that keep running until the day it closes. On a direct cash sale, subtract nothing for commissions or repairs, and count on a closing date you choose.
RC Home Buyers buys with its own funds, so the purchase is not conditional on a bank approving a loan. There is no appraisal requirement to satisfy, no repair list from a buyer’s inspector, and no showings to schedule around your work or your family. You receive a written offer within 48 hours, we typically pay closing costs, and closing can happen in as few as 14 days if speed is what you need.
