Where does Realmo's Bellefontaine market data come from?
Realmo compiles Bellefontaine, OH figures from 2 recent recorded sales, 21 active sale listings, 21 active lease listings, 1,672 tracked off-market properties, the current Bellefontaine zoning release. Sale and lease figures refresh monthly; vacancy annually. Last updated 31 October 2026.
Methodology & data sources
Asking prices and medians
There are 21 active for-sale and 21 active for-lease listings in Bellefontaine, OH. The medians are based on 14 of the for-sale and 3 of the for-lease listings, those that state a price or rent per square foot. These are ASKING figures from live listings, not closed-transaction prices, and a figure resting on fewer than 10 listings says so where it is quoted.
Vacancy rates
Published per-sector market series, taken at the metro level where one exists and otherwise at the Census-region level — a chart reading "in <region> region" is a regional number, not this city's.
Zoning and land use
The current municipal zoning release: 6,387 zoned acres across 11 districts. Shares are of zoned land, so parcels the release leaves unclassified are excluded from the mix.
Refresh
The monthly aggregates close at the end of the previous month, so 31 October 2026 — not today — is the honest last update.
Known limitations
office vacancy is reported at Midwest region level, retail vacancy is reported at Midwest region level and industrial vacancy is reported at Midwest region level.
Coverage
Metrics below the 10-observation threshold fall back one geographic level. The geography used is named on each figure.
