Akron Market Insights
Akron blends affordable living with innovation, anchored by major healthcare systems, the University of Akron, and a growing polymer and advanced manufacturing sector.
Following the landmark NAR settlement of 2024, Akron home sellers are no longer required to offer buyer agent commissions through the MLS. This gives sellers more control over their transaction structure and costs.
Ohio law requires sellers to complete the Residential Property Disclosure Form, detailing known material defects including structural issues, water damage, environmental hazards, roof condition, and mechanical systems. Ohio follows a “buyer beware” (caveat emptor) doctrine, but the disclosure form creates a legal obligation to reveal known issues. Sellers who fail to disclose known defects can face legal liability. HomeRise provides guidance on completing your Ohio disclosure requirements accurately and thoroughly.
