The rest are in the Pleasant Local School District (19) and the River Valley Local School District (16) and 2 other districts. The district comes from each listing's MLS record; attendance zones move, so confirm the assigned schools for any specific address with the district.

Accepted Answer

Homes that closed in Marion between January 1 and September 28, 2026 went under contract in a median of 17 days and sold for a median 97% of their original asking price, with 21% closing above it. The homes for sale right now have been listed a median of 31 days; that measures the ones still waiting, not how fast homes sell.

Question 8

Is Marion a buyer's market or a seller's market right now?

Accepted Answer

Marion has about 2.6 months of supply: 117 homes for sale against roughly 45 closings a month this year. By the usual yardstick (under three months favors sellers, over six favors buyers) that is a seller's market.

Question 9

Are sellers in Marion reducing their asking prices?

Accepted Answer

52 of the 117 homes for sale in Marion (44%) are now priced below their original asking price, by a median 6.4%. A reduction usually means the seller is open to a conversation, and its size shows how much room they have already given.

Question 10

Is there new construction for sale in Marion?

Accepted Answer

9 homes for sale in Marion are new construction or built in the last two years. The on-site sales rep represents the builder, so bring your own agent to the first visit.

Question 11

What are property taxes like in Marion?

Accepted Answer

On the resale homes for sale in Marion, annual property tax runs about 0.79% of the asking price, a median of $1,348 a year, as reported on the MLS. New-construction listings are left out: until the county reassesses a finished home, the MLS shows the tax on the bare lot. The bill follows the county's assessed value and the levies of the school district and township, so two homes at the same price can differ; check the county auditor's record for a specific address.

Question 12

Do homes in Marion have HOA fees?

Accepted Answer

11 listings report an HOA fee, with a median of about $325 a month as entered on the MLS; 94 listings report no HOA. Fees are set per community and per billing period, so confirm the current amount for any specific home.

Question 13

How big are the lots in Marion?

Accepted Answer

The median lot among the houses for sale in Marion is 0.16 acres (about 6,970 square feet), and 4 listings sit on an acre or more, from the acreage on each MLS record.

Question 14

Can I see these Marion homes with you instead of the listing agent?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and you should. The listing agent works for the seller. I set up the showings, pull the comparable sales before you walk in, and tell you what the house is worth rather than what it is priced at. Call or text 937-239-2919.

Question 15

Why are there homes on this page that are not on Zillow?

Accepted Answer

Coming Soon listings post to the MLS before most portals show them, and some sellers opt out of portal syndication. This page pulls from the MLS feed directly.

Question 16

How do I tour a home in Marion or find out what mine could sell for?

Accepted Answer

I'm Adam Geuy, a REALTOR with Blacktree Realty, and I work with buyers and sellers across Central Ohio. Every active listing on this page has a Book a tour button that goes straight to my calendar (Coming Soon homes open for showings on their on-market date), and a free market report if you want to know whether a home is priced right or what your own home in Marion could bring. Call or text me at 937-239-2919.
