Home values and rent in Painesville
We don't have a Painesville-specific median home value. Countywide, Lake County's figure is $214,100 (ACS 2020-2024 5yr) — treat this as a county-level baseline, not a Painesville number. On rent, we're again working from the county: Lake County's median gross rent is $1,113/mo (ACS 2020-2024 5yr), not a Painesville-specific figure.
03
The county tax-drag math applies here
Lake County's 1.50% effective tax rate applies to property in Painesville — above the 1.36% statewide average. The full worked PITIA and DSCR example, built on a property at the county's median value, is on the Lake County page — here's the tax line specifically for a property at Painesville's own numbers:
- Property value used
- $214,100 (countywide)
- Lake County effective tax rate
- 1.50%
- Estimated monthly property tax
- $268
That estimate uses an observed Ohio DSCR average of 7.20% (Q2 2026)¹ elsewhere in the full county example — this is a market observation, not an offer; your rate depends on your DSCR, credit, LTV and loan purpose, and is set by the lender, not by us.
