This single-story ranch at 9814 Gibson Avenue presents a compact, functional footprint: 960 square feet of living area on a level 3,430 sq ft lot with 35 feet of frontage. Built in 1965, the wood-frame home has a hip roof and aluminum/vinyl siding. County records and listing research identify three bedrooms and one bathroom, a partially finished basement, and a 216 sq ft basement garage that adds storage or vehicle access separate from street parking.
Interior systems are straightforward and consistent with the house’s age. Heating is forced-air gas; there is no central cooling noted in records. The partially finished basement increases usable square footage and is paired with a one-car basement garage; parking notes estimate a single space. The assessor lists the property condition as average, and construction details record a single-story ranch layout that may require cosmetic or mechanical updates common to properties acquired through foreclosure.
Ownership and occupancy signals point toward investor ownership and recent turnover. Records show a March 2026 foreclosure sale and the property is currently recorded as vacant. The owner of record is a company with a mailing address in downtown Cleveland. Assessed value and tax data are documented: a 2025 total assessment of $20,020 and annual property taxes of $1,908. Listing history and research indicate the home has been marketed since mid-2026 with subsequent price adjustments and vacancy signals.
Local comparables and market context provide multiple lenses on value. Nearby sales within a half-mile range from recent months include a distressed sale, renovated higher-priced sale, and a well-maintained sale — together supporting an estimated valuation range. The CompCasa valuation midpoint is provided by the research and is based on sales-comparison adjustments for size and condition. Rental comparables in the immediate area show monthly rents around $900–$950 and a rent-per-square-foot near $0.9–$1.0, which aligns with the platform’s rental estimate for a three-bedroom in Union-Miles.
For buyers and investors the opportunity centers on affordability and upside through renovation or stabilization. Key next steps documented in the research include confirming interior condition and renovation scope, verifying basement garage accessibility, assessing local rental demand and rates, and reviewing title for encumbrances. These verifications will clarify renovation cost assumptions and hold/sell strategies for a property with evident investment potential in Cleveland’s Union-Miles neighborhood.
