A handful of Mansfield properties shifted to new owners during the first week of November, reflecting a real estate market that’s steady rather than frantic. Recent sales range from century-old homes near downtown to larger, more secluded properties on the outskirts of the city.
Early Month Momentum
The month opened with a sale in the heart of the city. On November 3, a five-bedroom home at 116 West 2nd Street closed for $155,000. It sits near several downtown landmarks and reflects the kind of older housing stock that attracts buyers looking for character and space at a reasonable price.
Two days later, an interesting entry appeared on the sales list: a 6.28-acre parcel along State Route 42 South sold for $275,000 on November 5. Acreage parcels continue to draw attention from buyers who want a buffer from neighbors or hope to build later.
Strong Activity on November 6 and 7
Sales activity picked up as the week continued.
On November 6, a home at 2187 Marion Avenue Road sold for $450,000. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, it represents the higher end of current Mansfield residential pricing. That same day, a three-bedroom on West Main Street sold for $80,000, a reminder that Mansfield remains one of the more affordable housing markets in north central Ohio.
The next day, November 7, saw three closings:
• 371 Garver Road sold for $360,000.
• 143 Kingwood Place closed for $226,000.
• 1140 Fifth Avenue sold for $105,000.
The three properties offer very different profiles: Kingwood Place sits in one of Mansfield’s most recognizable neighborhoods, Garver Road offers a suburban feel, and Fifth Avenue falls into the starter-home category.
What the Numbers Suggest
These early November sales underline the variety of price points available in the city. It isn’t unusual to see a $450,000 listing close the same week as an $80,000 one. The result is a market that continues to draw first-time buyers while still attracting those hunting for larger homes or acreage.
Inventory in Richland County has been tighter over the past year, yet buyers remain active. Local agents continue to report shorter listing windows for updated properties and competitive interest in anything move-in ready.
More Closings Expected
Zillow and Realtor both show additional pending sales that may close later this month. We will continue tracking activity and update when more November sales become final.
