Two homes closed in Concord Township, Ohio within the past year, both technically part of the same ZIP code search result. One, a three-bedroom colonial on Girdled Road, sold in March 2026 for $295,000 in 1,683 square feet. The other, a custom colonial on Orchard Road sitting on 5.32 park-like acres, sold in October 2025 for $610,000 in 2,829 square feet. Same township. Same general search radius. More than $300,000 apart.
If you've been comparing Concord Township to Mentor, Chardon, or another Lake County town by pulling up a median price online, you've probably run into this same confusion without knowing why. The number you're looking at isn't wrong. It's just answering a question you didn't ask.
One ZIP Code, Two Housing Markets
Concord Township shares ZIP code 44077 with Painesville and Painesville Township. That matters more than it sounds like it should, because most of the automated price tools people check first, the ones that spit out a number when you type in a ZIP code, don't separate Concord's sales from Painesville's. They blend everything.
Over the three months ending in May 2026, that blended 44077 pool showed a median sale price of $245,000, with homes averaging 28 days on the market and 141 homes selling in May alone. That's a real number. It's just describing a market that includes homes like the one on Marion Avenue in Painesville, listed at $164,900, or the one on Welch Road, listed at $197,900, right alongside the Orchard Road property that sold for $610,000 a few miles away in Concord.
Pull a handful of individual closings from the past several months and the split becomes obvious. In Painesville: a home on Raintree Lane listed at $213,900, one on Adelaide Avenue at $249,900, one on Garwood Drive at $280,000. In Concord Township: the Girdled Road colonial at $295,000, the Misty Ridge Drive colonial that closed in December 2025 at $421,000 in 2,461 square feet, and an active listing on Waterfowl Way asking $674,999 for 2,886 square feet. The ZIP-level median lands almost exactly in the gap between the two groups, which means it doesn't actually represent either one well.
The Second ZIP Code Nobody Mentions
It gets messier. Concord Township doesn't sit entirely inside 44077. Part of it extends into 44060, the ZIP code it shares with Mentor. A home on Weathervane Court, for instance, carries a Concord Township, OH 44060 address and sold in May 2026 for $376,000 in 2,574 square feet.
So depending on which corner of the township a listing sits in, it might get folded into a Painesville-anchored number or a Mentor-anchored number, and neither one is built to describe Concord on its own. If you've searched "Concord Township home prices" and gotten a figure that felt off compared to what you were actually seeing in listings, this is likely why. There's no clean, Concord-only ZIP code doing the math for you.
Two Concords, One Township
Once you set the ZIP code aside and look at what's actually selling inside Concord Township's borders, a pattern shows up. There isn't one Concord market. There are two, sitting on top of each other.
| Tier | Typical sale range | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Legacy Concord | roughly $250,000 to $300,000 | older colonials and ranches on standard suburban lots, closer to Girdled Road and the township's established streets |
| New-build and acreage Concord | roughly $400,000 to $650,000-plus | new subdivisions and custom homes on lots running from under an acre to five-plus acres |
Niche's assessed-value estimate for the township, $333,700, sits almost precisely between those two tiers, which is another version of the same blending problem. Assessed values lag the market and average across both kinds of housing stock, so they smooth over the exact distinction a buyer actually needs to make.
What's Pulling the Upper Tier Higher
The acreage and new-construction tier isn't a handful of outliers. It's an active, ongoing wave of building, and it has names attached.
W.R. Dawson Homes is building Blackmore Estates, a conservation-zoned community where every homesite runs one to two and a half acres, wooded and set among ravines and small creeks. Homes there range from 2,400 to more than 5,900 square feet, priced across a wide enough band to cover both a modest family home and a much larger estate.
Pulte Homes has a community called Ivy Ridge in Concord Township. Its Countryview floor plan starts at $398,990 for 1,898 square feet, and one recently listed Ivy Ridge home sold for $583,314 in 2,398 square feet. Nearby, 20th Century Construction is building The Villas at Canterwood Farms, attached patio-style homes aimed at buyers who want single-floor living without the maintenance of a larger lot. The Palazzo floor plan there starts at $484,400 and the Promenade III starts at $543,500.
Perrino Builders and Remodeling also builds custom homes in Concord, starting in the $400s plus the cost of a lot, and points to the township's location at the crossroads of Interstate 90 and State Route 44 as part of the draw, along with proximity to Lake Metroparks Farmpark and the Holden Arboretum.
None of this is resale inventory. It's new supply being added at price points well above the legacy tier, and it's a meaningful part of why any average that includes Concord alongside a neighboring, more built-out community is going to read higher than a straight resale comparison would suggest.
The Township Is Building, Too
The residential pattern lines up with what's happening on the commercial side. Concord Township's own list of active development projects, current as of December 2025, shows the same growth showing up in non-residential form.
Ralph Victor Construction, one of the builders working on Quail Hollow's newest phase, which adds 86 detached condo homesites and 45 attached townhomes off Girdled and Orchard Road, is also relocating its own headquarters into a new retail center at the northeast corner of Crile Road and Hunting Lake Drive. A new child care center is going in at Auburn Road and Capital Parkway. A 69,000-square-foot manufacturing and office building, visible from Capital Parkway, is under construction for another business relocating into the township. Closer to street level, an ice cream parlor accessible from Crile Road is adding a walk-up window and outdoor seating, along with a car wash and detailing facility reached from Old Crile Road.
On the residential side, the township's project list also includes a 19-home subdivision off Prouty Road and a 59-lot development off Hoose Road. Taken together, these aren't isolated projects. They're evidence that Concord's higher-priced, newer-build tier is still expanding, not just a snapshot of what's already been built.
How to Actually Compare Concord to Somewhere Else
If you're cross-shopping Concord Township against Mentor, Chardon, or another Lake County community, skip the single blended number entirely. Ask two questions instead. First, which ZIP code is the listing actually pulling from, 44077 or 44060, and is that number blending in Painesville or Mentor sales you don't care about. Second, is the specific home you're looking at part of Concord's legacy stock or its new-build and acreage tier, since those two markets move independently and a single average will misrepresent whichever one you're actually trying to buy into.
That distinction changes the comparison. A legacy Concord home in the $250,000 to $300,000 range is a genuinely different conversation from a Blackmore Estates or Ivy Ridge property in the $450,000 to $600,000 range, even though both show up under the same township name.
A Few Questions Worth Asking Before You Compare
Does Concord Township have its own ZIP code? No. Most of the township falls under 44077, shared with Painesville, while another portion falls under 44060, shared with Mentor. Any price figure tied to a ZIP code search is describing a larger area than Concord Township alone.
Is new construction the only reason prices vary so much? Not entirely. Lot size plays a large role too. A resale colonial on a standard lot near the township's older streets and a new build on two acres in a conservation-zoned community can carry very different price tags even before construction quality is considered.
What's the most reliable way to know what a specific Concord Township property is actually worth? Look at recent closed sales for homes with a similar lot size, age, and location within the township, rather than relying on a ZIP-level or township-wide average. The spread between legacy and new-build inventory is wide enough that averages don't hold up at the individual property level.
