We buy houses across Franklinton and the 43222 and 43223 zips
From the arts studios and new builds of East Franklinton and the Scioto Peninsula to the older streets of West Franklinton, Camp Chase, and the blocks along Sullivant Avenue, Propcash buys houses throughout the neighborhood.
Propcash also buys houses in Clintonville and Linden, across Columbus, and throughout Ohio.
An old Franklinton frame house that needs everything? Still a yes.
Much of Franklinton was built out in wood frame long before modern codes, and decades as a low-cost, high-turnover neighborhood left a lot of that stock with deferred maintenance. Original systems are the norm here, not the exception. We buy these houses all the time, and you fix nothing.
-
Old knob-and-tube or patched wiring
Common in Franklinton's older frame homes and a deal-killer for a financed buyer. We expect it.
-
Galvanized plumbing and tired furnaces
The original plumbing and heating in these houses is often at the end of its life. We factor it in.
-
Old roofs, settlement, and basement water
Worn roofs, foundation settling, and damp basements are everyday Franklinton issues. They do not scare us.
-
Vacant, boarded, or fire-damaged
A house that has sat empty or taken damage? We buy it in whatever condition it is in today.
-
Open city code-enforcement items
An open Columbus code case or orders on the property? We buy with those items unresolved.

Understanding Franklinton's real estate market
The oldest neighborhood, changing fast
Franklinton was the first settlement in what became Columbus, laid out in 1797 on the low ground west of the Scioto. For most of the last century it was known as The Bottoms and shaped by repeated flooding, until the Franklinton Floodwall lifted most of it out of the regulatory floodway in the mid-2000s. Since then, East Franklinton and the Scioto Peninsula have drawn studios, breweries, and new construction, and that redevelopment is steadily changing what an older Franklinton house is worth.
An affordable pocket in a rising city
Columbus overall is Ohio's strongest-priced big market, with a median sale price of $292,000 for the three months ending April 2026, up 6.0% year over year (Redfin, April 2026). Franklinton has long sat well below that citywide line, which is exactly why so many of its sales are driven by condition and situation rather than by chasing a top-dollar list price. When a house needs work or has to sell now, a cash offer trades the highest possible number for speed and certainty.
Vacancy, back taxes, and steady cash demand
Decades as a low-cost neighborhood left Franklinton with a real share of vacant houses, tired rentals, and parcels behind on Franklin County taxes, some moving through the county land bank. At the same time, redevelopment pushing west from downtown keeps steady cash interest in these properties. That combination is why an owner with a difficult Franklinton house usually has a straightforward cash exit.
Why an older or vacant house is not a lowball
An aging, empty, or code-flagged house in Franklinton is not a reason to accept a throwaway number. Some buyers count on sellers of hard properties feeling stuck. Propcash works the other way: we make a fair cash offer based on local Franklinton and Columbus data, and we show you the math behind it.
A direct cash homebuyer is a company that purchases houses itself, with its own funds, rather than listing them for sale or finding buyers on a seller's behalf. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer: we make the offer, we are the buyer, and the seller pays no commissions or fees. Sellers skip repairs, listings, and showings, and pick their own closing date.
Common situations we help Franklinton owners handle
Whatever brought you here, Propcash can make you a fair cash offer.
A house sitting vacant
A boarded-up frame house draws code notices, scrappers, and carrying costs. We buy vacant and inherited Franklinton houses as-is, with no cleanout or securing required first, and close on your timeline.
Old house needs everything
Old wiring, a failing furnace, a worn roof, a wet basement. In an older Franklinton frame house these often come due at once. Skip the repair list and sell as-is to a buyer who expects to renovate.
Inherited a Franklinton house
Inherited a family home near Sullivant or West Broad and live out of state? Get a cash offer, sell it as-is, and close remotely. We can work with a property that still needs to clear Franklin County probate.
Behind on Franklin County taxes
Back taxes on a Franklinton property snowball, and delinquent parcels can head toward the county land bank. A quick cash sale can clear the balance before it turns into a bigger problem.
Tired of a small rental
A lot of Franklinton owners ended up as accidental landlords. If you are done with turnover and repairs on a single or a double, sell it as-is, tenants in place or vacant, no eviction required.
Divorce or estate settlement
When a Franklinton property has to be divided quickly and fairly, a transparent cash offer helps. We show you how we reached our number, and a fast close lets everyone move on.

If listing with an agent would serve you better, we'll point you to a local agent. We're always straightforward and transparent.
Frequently asked questions about selling in Franklinton
Why are cash buyers so active in Franklinton right now?
Franklinton is Columbus's oldest neighborhood and one of its fastest-changing. As redevelopment moves west from downtown across the Scioto and through East Franklinton, there is steady cash demand for older houses, vacant lots, and small rentals here. For you as a seller, that means there is usually a buyer for a Franklinton property, whether it is a frame house near Sullivant Avenue or an inherited home in The Bottoms.
Which parts of Franklinton do you buy houses in?
We buy across the 43222 and 43223 zip codes: East Franklinton and the Scioto Peninsula near downtown, West Franklinton, the older streets around Sullivant Avenue and West Broad, Camp Chase, and the low-lying blocks people still call The Bottoms. We also buy throughout the rest of Columbus and Franklin County.
My Franklinton house has been sitting vacant. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Vacant and boarded houses are one of the most common situations we handle in Franklinton. We buy them as-is, with no requirement to clean out, secure, or repair anything first, and we can often close before the next tax bill or code notice comes due.
Do I have to sort out Franklinton's flood history before I sell?
No. The Franklinton Floodwall, finished by the Army Corps of Engineers in the mid-2000s, lifted most of the neighborhood out of the old regulatory floodway, but many older houses still carry that history in a buyer's mind. We buy Franklinton houses regardless, so you do not need to resolve a flood question, an insurance question, or an old basement-water issue before selling to us. Check your specific parcel's current FEMA status if you want the detail.
My Franklinton house is an old frame home that needs a lot of work. Is that a problem?
Not for us. A lot of Franklinton's housing is older wood-frame construction with original wiring, galvanized plumbing, aging furnaces, and worn roofs. Those are exactly the homes financed buyers walk away from. We expect the repair list and build it into a fair cash offer, so you fix nothing.
How fast can you close on a Franklinton property?
We can close in as few as 7 days through a local title company when you need speed. If you are working against a Franklin County tax deadline, a code-enforcement notice, or a probate timeline, we can often work around it. If you need more time to move or settle an estate, you choose a later closing date instead.
Are there really no fees or commissions?
None. There are no agent commissions, which typically run 5 to 6% in central Ohio, no closing costs, and no hidden charges. Propcash is free for sellers, and the cash offer you accept is the amount you receive at closing.
How is Propcash different from the "we buy houses" signs around Columbus?
Many of those outfits hand you one low, take-it-or-leave-it number and hope you sign quickly. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer. We make a fair cash offer based on local Franklinton and Columbus market data, and we show you how we reached the number. There is no obligation, so if the offer does not work for you, you walk away.
What happens after I submit my property information?
Usually within 24 hours, we review your property against local market data and prepare a fair cash offer. Your point of contact walks you through how we reached the number, and our offers do not expire. You decide whether to accept, and then we coordinate closing. There is no obligation at any step.
I inherited a Franklinton house and live out of state. Can you help?
Often, yes. Out-of-state heirs are one of the most common situations we help with in Franklinton. We buy inherited houses as-is, we can work with a property that still needs to clear Franklin County probate, and we handle closing remotely, so you do not have to travel back to Columbus to sell.
