Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).

Inventory in Monroe has expanded notably in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up sharply from a year ago and months of supply now at 2.1. Homes sold have more than doubled year over year, and pending sales have surged even faster, pointing to strong contract activity. New listings are also coming to market at a much higher pace than last year, giving buyers more options than they had before.

Prices are reacting to this busy environment in mixed ways. The typical home value is more than 30 percent higher than a year ago, yet the median list price is down compared with last year, suggesting sellers may be pricing more cautiously even as closed sale values trend higher.

Time on market has lengthened, with the median days on market rising to about two months, a clear change from the quicker sales seen last year. Despite that slowdown, a low level of supply and a sale-to-list ratio just under 97 percent still support Monroe’s status as a seller’s market. Only a small share of homes are selling above list price now, which may help buyers feel they have more negotiating room than in prior years. Whether you are a buyer trying to time your move or a seller working to price correctly, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these shifting dynamics.



Learn more about what Monroe has to offer.

Monroe offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with accessible parks, locally owned shops, great schools, and regular community events that foster connection and a high quality of life.

Monroe stands out from larger neighbors like Des Moines and Newton with its quieter pace, close-knit feel, and strong pride in local schools and traditions. Residents enjoy quick access to bigger-city jobs and amenities, while everyday life still revolves around community events, youth sports, and familiar faces downtown.

The historic main street area offers local dining and services, supported by community spaces such as the Monroe Public Library and city-run Parks & Recreation. Families value the small class sizes and activities at PCM Community School District, which connects Monroe with nearby Prairie City. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the short drive to Lake Red Rock and regional trails, while local parks and ballfields keep kids active close to home.

Housing in Monroe ranges from well-kept older homes near the center of town to newer construction on the edges, giving buyers a range of price points and styles. With Jasper County investment and broader regional growth, inventory can move quickly, especially for updated homes or properties with extra garage and shop space.

Whether you already live in Monroe or are considering a move from nearby Pella or Colfax, timing and preparation are crucial in this competitive but approachable market. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local real estate professional who understands Monroe’s unique pace, pricing, and community priorities.

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From the very beginning, I felt like I was working with someone who genuinely cared about me and what I was looking for—not just someone trying to close a deal. Isaiah was always there when I had questions, he kept me informed throughout the process, and made me feel comfortable even when things got stressful. I really appreciated his patience, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but having the right person by your side makes such a difference. I’m so grateful for all their help and for making the whole experience such a positive one. I would absolutely recommend Isaiah Thomas to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! 🏡❤️”

“Matt was excellent throughout the entire process of helping me buy my duplex. He made the transaction incredibly smooth, took the time to walk me through every step, and was always available to answer my questions. I always felt confident knowing he was there to guide me from start to finish. What impressed me most was that his commitment didn't end after closing. I initially hired a property management company to lease the duplex, but after several months they were unable to find tenants. I reached out to Matt, and he had the property leased within a week. That really showed me how knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated he is. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.”

“He did an outstanding job for just starting in the business. He sold my house in under a month of being on the market. He then helped me search the surrounding area to find my current home.”

“Daniel Wandling was amazing to work with, especially when it came to helping my parents find the right home. What really stood out was his ability to find an off-market property that we wouldn’t have found on our own. That made a huge difference and gave us an opportunity we didn’t even know existed. He was very professional, responsive, and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. He always took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt confident in every decision. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to help them. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“As a first time buyer, I was nervous of what to expect from a realtor. Rob absolutely exceeded my expectations of real estate agents— from the first day we met I could tell he genuinely cared about the state of the homes we looked at. He got me an awesome basket of gifts on closing day filled with home essentials. Thank you Rob! You’re excellent!”

“Lacie was amazing throughout the whole buying experience as a first-time home owner. She made every effort to keep me informed during our buying process and shown her expertise when any questions arose. When there were some questions she couldn't answer she was able to defer me to the appriorate subject-matter expert whether it was an electrician for electrical questions/work to inspection questions. She was absolutely fantastic to work with and would highly recommend her to friends and family that are looking to buy/sell now and later! Thank you Lacie Shelby for working with my partner and I. Thank you even more for making our first home purchase worth it!”

“Dakotah was amazing to work with! Dakotah was referred to us by someone and we will continue to refer him to others. Knowledgeable about the Des Moines area and homes in the area. Always felt that Dakotah was looking out for us as first time home buyers and helped us explain the home buying process in great detail. When we do decide to sell our incredible home, we will surely work with Dakotah again!”

“Amanda was the perfect realtor for us buying our first home! We wanted someone who would be honest with us and help us throughout the process and Amanda did all of that and more. She was easy to work with, a great communicator and negotiator, and she helped us find our first home quicker than we ever anticipated. I was worried it would be such a long & stressful process and even at the times it was stressful, Amanda made it an enjoyable experience. We highly recommend working with her if you're looking to buy or sell your home!”

“I work for a new construction builder in the Des Moines metro. Crossed paths with Kristina as her buyers were looking into a townhome in Altoona. We quickly had great conversation and she simply gave me the time of day. She made me feel heard and appreciated from day 1 all the way till closing on her buyers' home. She is knowledgeable, professional, outgoing and extremely personable. I would definitely recommend her to any unrepresented buyers or friends and family. We worked extremely well together. She was awesome!”

“Toren was absolutely great with our home buying process. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to buying a new home. He was non-biased and gave us honest input, regardless of the condition of the home. He took our family into consideration, we have a one year old, and a small dog. Toren always kept that in mind when he was showing us a home. He was always flexible and found time for us, regardless of the situation. 10/10 would (and will) recommend him to any friend or family member that needs a realtor.”
