Wood County Recorder Connor Rose reports on second quarter real estate activity – BG Independent News

From OFFICE OF THE WOOD COUNTY RECORDER Wood County Recorder Connor Rose has released the second quarter 2026 report on real estate transaction activity, including deed and mortgage filings, with comparisons to the same period in 2025. In the second quarter of 2026, the recorder’s office recorded 927 deeds totaling $340.7 million in consideration. This represents a 4.75% increase in the number of recorded deeds compared to 885 deeds recorded in the second quarter of 2025. Total consideration also increased by 65%, from $206.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was driven largely by several high value commercial and industrial property transactions. The following were the largest recorded property sales during the second quarter of 2026: Whirlpool purchased the former Toledo Solar facility on Dixie Highway in Perrysburg for $16.2 million. Belamere Suites in Perrysburg sold for $16.75 million. A Class A industrial warehouse/distribution facility on Glenwood Road in Rossford sold for $28 million. The largest transaction was the sale of the eastern portion of Levis Commons in Perrysburg for $59.2 million. Mortgage activity declined during the second quarter of 2026, with 954 mortgages recorded. That represents an 11.17% decrease from the 1,074 mortgages recorded during the second quarter of 2025. “Wood County’s real estate market saw an impressive spring and a strong start to the summer buying season,” said Rose. “While several large commercial transactions significantly increased total consideration for the second quarter, the overall level of recording activity shows that buyers and sellers remain active across the county.” The recorder’s office will continue to monitor trends in real estate transactions across Wood County and provide updates to keep the public informed.
