The median home in the city of Marion was built in 1999, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Arkansas median of 1987. That is newer than the Crittenden County median of 1983.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Most of Marion's housing is recent: only 17% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 11% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 37%, dates from 2000-2009. That makes it an older stock than Crittenden County as a whole (46% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 2000s, the common first-time jobs are the first roof replacement, original water heater and HVAC, and warranty paperwork on anything still covered.

Owner-occupied and rented homes in Marion are of similar age: median build years 2000 and 2000.1 Housing in Marion is mostly detached single-family: 80% of units, with 15% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 72% of occupied homes in Marion are owner-occupied, above the Arkansas share of 66%.1

The median owner-occupied home in Marion is valued at $212,400 (ACS), above the Arkansas median of $188,000. Within Crittenden County the median is $160,200, so Marion sits above it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have. The Memphis Intl Ap station averages 44 nights a year at or below 32°F and 6 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.

Summers run hot, with about 72 days a year at 90°F or more and 2 at 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. Annual precipitation is about 55 inches, with 18 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.

Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,875 heating and 2,314 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Marion sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Marion are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
