The Big Five

Every number here comes straight from the Medina County Auditor, the same records your agent pulls to price a home and a lender checks before they write a loan. We update them every month so you're always looking at current data. These are real sale prices from real Medina County transactions, and you can verify every one of them at the auditor's website. Whether you're buying and trying to figure out if a price actually makes sense, or thinking about selling and want to know what homes like yours have been getting, The Big Five are where that conversation starts.

1
$254,950
Median sale price The midpoint of all home sales here in the last 12 months. Half sold for more, half for less. If your budget is above this number, most of the market is in range. Below it, homes are available but you're working with the lower half of what's out there. Unlike an average, one high-priced sale doesn't throw this number off.
2
-1.1%
vs. last year Compares this year's median sale price to last year's. A dip doesn't mean the neighborhood is losing value. Prices often pull back after a hot year. For buyers, a negative number means more purchasing power than 12 months ago. For sellers, it's useful context on where the market sits today. See the price history chart below for the full picture.
3
446
Homes sold How many homes actually changed hands here in the last 12 months. A higher number means an active market. Homes sell quickly and buyers have more options. A lower number means a quieter market with less buyer traffic. It also tells you how much to trust the median price above. More sales means more data behind it, not a figure built on a handful of transactions.
4
1.1%
Annual tax rate Your yearly property tax bill as a percent of what you paid for the home. At 1.2%, a $400,000 home costs about $4,800 a year in taxes, roughly $400 a month added on top of your mortgage. Compare this across neighborhoods to see where your dollar goes further.
5
+38%
Above county value The county auditor has an official value on file for every home. It is what your property tax bill is based on. That number gets updated every few years and tends to run behind the real market. This tells you how much more homes here have actually been selling for above that county estimate. When you look up a home on the auditor's website, the value you see is not what you'd pay.

The median sale price in the stats above combines every property type sold here. For a more accurate number, use the row that matches what you're shopping for. Property types with fewer than 3 sales in the period roll into the combined total and won't appear as a separate row.

Numbers come from Medina County public deed records, filed with the county auditor and open to the public. Residential homes only. Includes for-sale-by-owner and foreclosure sales not tracked through an agent, so figures may run slightly different from what an agent's report shows.

Prices reflect conditions at the time of sale. Economic events like interest rate cycles, pandemic-era demand shifts, and changes in local housing supply can cause year-over-year swings that overstate or understate what the underlying market is actually doing. The trend is useful context, not a final word.

Twelve things most buyers never think to ask until after the offer is signed. Each card is sourced and specific to this neighborhood.

Median sale price — last 12 months

The median sale price in Wadsworth City was $254,950 last year, based on 446 recorded home sales. Median means the midpoint — half those homes sold for more, half for less. It is more reliable than an average because one very expensive sale cannot pull the number up. Sales ranged from $26,300 to $575,000.

If your budget is near or above this number, most of what sells here is in your range. Below it, homes exist but you are working in the lower half of the market. Use it as a starting point, not a ceiling.

Year-over-year price trend

Median sale prices in Wadsworth City are down approximately 1.1% from the prior 12-month period. One year of movement does not define a neighborhood — check the price history chart below for the longer view.

Prices here have been steady. That works for both sides. Sellers can price with confidence and buyers are not chasing a moving target.

Water and sewer

Wadsworth is served by a municipal water system and public sanitary sewer. Most residential properties connect to both systems. Connection fees or tap-in charges may apply on newly developed or subdivided parcels.

Confirm water and sewer service is active and in good standing before close. Request recent utility bills from the seller to verify there are no past-due balances on the account.

Estimated annual property taxes

The estimated annual property tax for a typical home in Wadsworth City is around $2,776, based on current county auditor records. Your actual bill will vary depending on exemptions you qualify for and when your home was last assessed.

Most lenders roll property taxes into your monthly mortgage payment through escrow — so your real payment will be higher than just principal and interest. Budget roughly $231 a month for taxes on top of your base loan payment. When comparing two homes at the same price in different areas, the tax rate alone can shift your true monthly cost by hundreds of dollars.

Typical parcel size

The median parcel size for residential sales in Wadsworth City is 0.25 acres. Lots range from under 0.1 acres to more than 6 acres, so the median only tells part of the story. Most properties here are under an acre, which is typical for a city setting.

Ask your agent to filter by lot size early. The range here is wider than the median suggests.
