Where does Realmo's Media market data come from?
Realmo compiles Media, PA figures from 8 recent recorded sales, 39 active sale listings, 30 active lease listings, 840 tracked off-market properties, the current Media zoning release. Sale and lease figures refresh monthly; vacancy annually. Last updated 31 October 2026.
Methodology & data sources
Asking prices and medians
There are 39 active for-sale and 30 active for-lease listings in Media, PA. The medians are based on 18 of the for-sale and 11 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: 478 zoned acres across 9 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 Northeast region level, retail vacancy is reported at Northeast region level and industrial vacancy is reported at Northeast region level.
Coverage
Metrics below the 10-observation threshold fall back one geographic level. The geography used is named on each figure.
