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
$315,000
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
-1.6%
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
43
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
0.9%
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
+52%
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 Westfield Township was $315,000 last year, based on 43 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 $130,000 to $729,900.

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 Westfield Township are down approximately 1.6% 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

Westfield Township is predominantly on private well water and household septic systems. There is no public water or sewer infrastructure in most of the area. Individual wells are drilled on-lot; septic systems are permitted and inspected through the Medina County Health Department.

Ask for the well age, last service date, and the most recent septic inspection report before you write an offer. These are negotiating points, not afterthoughts.

Estimated annual property taxes

The estimated annual property tax for a typical home in Westfield Township is around $2,747, 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 $229 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 Westfield Township is 2.90 acres — solid rural scale. The range tells the real story: parcels run from under 0.2 acres on clustered and condo-style properties to more than 39 acres on the township's larger rural lots. More than half of recent sales exceeded an acre. If land is part of why you're looking here, it's available.

Don't assume the median describes every property. Ask your agent to filter by lot size early. The difference between a quarter-acre and a 10-acre rural parcel changes the lifestyle, the well and septic obligations, and the price significantly.

Major roads and highway access

Primary road access in Westfield Township is via US 224, SR 3, and local township roads. There is no public transit service in this area.

Confirm your typical commute route and drive time before you commit. Rural roads in Medina County can add significant time in winter weather conditions.

Government structure and taxes

Westfield Township is a township — not a city or village. Three elected trustees and a fiscal officer handle road maintenance, zoning, and local services. There is no mayor and no municipal income tax, though the Cloverleaf Local School District collects a separate voter-approved earned income tax. If you are moving from a municipality that levies its own income tax, your net take-home changes.

Township government means fewer services than a city — factor that in for trash pickup, street lighting, and snow removal. Compare your current municipal income tax rate before assuming your monthly budget stays the same.

Natural gas vs. propane

Natural gas lines do not extend throughout Westfield Township. Most homes are heated with propane, stored in an above-ground tank on the property. Propane prices fluctuate seasonally and must be budgeted separately from your mortgage and taxes.

Ask the seller which fuel the home uses and request the last 12 months of propane bills. Estimates vary widely — ask the seller for actual prior-year bills rather than budgeting from an estimate.

Flood zones

Portions of Westfield Township near Sugar Creek and Black River tributaries may fall within FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zone AE). Homes in these zones require federally mandated flood insurance if the mortgage is backed by a federally regulated lender. Most of the area sits in Zone X, which carries minimal flood risk.

Pull the FEMA Flood Map for any specific address before you close. Flood insurance on a Zone AE property can add $1,000 to $3,000 or more per year to your carrying costs.

Emergency services

Westfield Township is served by the Westfield Township Fire Department. The nearest emergency room is Cleveland Clinic Medina Hospital, approximately 20–25 minutes northeast.

What is the history of Westfield Township Ohio

Westfield was surveyed in 1816 by James Chapman and Warren Brainard, settled in 1817 by the Eber Mallory and Hanmer Palmer families, and organised as a township in 1820. James Fowler founded the village of LeRoy, now Westfield Center, in 1826 and set aside four acres for a public square. Halsey Hulbert arrived in 1831 and his home became a stop on the Underground Railroad, and the township records three anti-slavery votes cast in 1840. The Ohio Farmers Insurance Company was chartered here in 1848, the Cloverleaf school district was formed in 1957, and in 1971 residents voted to change the village's name from LeRoy back to Westfield Center.
