Where does this count come from?
From the Auditor's transfer records: a home is a parcel the Auditor classes as a residence, and a sale counts once even when it covers several parcels. Towns come from Census boundaries. The Recorder records the deed; the Auditor marks whether the transfer was a real sale.
How is this different from a national new-homeowner list?
The national list sellers that come up for this search do not show a count for any one Ohio county. This one is built from the county's own transfer records, so you can check every number above against the Auditor's site and see the exact count for a town before you buy.
New homeowner mailing list
Owners who bought a home in the last 12 months, with the mailing address the county sends the tax bill to. It covers the last 365 days rather than whole months, so its count differs a little from the tables above.
