$3,896,780; 175 Community Drive, Marion; October 24, 2017.

$3,065,835; 188 America Boulevard, Marion; July 5, 2017.

The local Bob Evans Restaurant – located at State Route 95 just west of the US 23 exit – changed hands “officially” twice in 2017. First transferring in a non-valid sale for $2,379,982 in April and then officially to VEREIT BE Portfolio in July to become part of the VEREIT real estate holdings.

Marion County transfers so far in 2017 based on price range. (information courtesy of Marion County Auditor)
Real estate sales showed a nice quantity in 2017 with 2,589 distinct transfers appearing on the Marion County Auditor’s site.
However, Marion County continues to be plagued by sluggish price recovery from the recession. When considered that 92% of the properties transferred were less than $250,000. The largest number of transfers was in the $100 – $49,999 category with 596 properties being exchanged.
There are lots of reasons that the price could be that low – from city lots being exchanged to including sales that are not valid and thus don’t meet the “two separate parties” idea that a valid sale creates.
8550 Tartan Fields Drive sold for $1,100,000 last week. [delaware county auditor]July continues to smoke this week with 92 valid – and 138 total – property transfers processed by the Delaware County Auditor’s Office this past week. The average valid sale price waas $307,000 in the county last week.

The classic addage “knee high by the fourth of July” has been blown away by several Delaware County fields.
The old farmer’s adage is that corn should be “knee high by the fourth of July.”
If that’s the case, then Delaware County farms could be looking at a bumper crop in 2016. C.G. Boyce Real Estate Co. president and broker Toby Boyce – standing about 6-feet tall – posed for a photograph in Radnor Township with some upstart corn. The stalks were easily shoulder-high on July 5 for this field on Price Road near Hemble Road in rural Radnor, Ohio.
So What Does That Mean For Production?
Well, not much it appears.
Twenty-five years ago the knee high axiom worked very well according to farmer’s stories. However, today’s enhanced technology and improved seed hardiness, the corn can be planted earlier. All of which has led to the expectation that first-planting corn be chest high or taller by the Fourth of July. Though, the axiom is not totally discarded with farmers using it as a benchmark for whether corn that had to be replanted is on track for a fall yield.
