A Variety Of Housing Types And Prices
The five transactions illustrate the range of residential properties changing hands in Galion, from a turn-of-the-century two-unit building to mid-century ranch homes and a renovated split-level residence. Three properties sold for less than $150,000, while two exceeded $200,000. The median sale price was $135,000.
The recorded transactions provide a snapshot of local real estate activity rather than a definitive indication of broader housing market trends. Additional months of sales information would be needed to identify sustained changes in prices or transaction volume.
