Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Monroe County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year-over-year trends in Monroe County show mixed signals for buyers and sellers. Typical home values are down slightly from last year, while the median list price is up by more than 11 percent, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices. Homes sold have increased nearly 18 percent over the year, pointing to stronger closed activity even as pricing shifts.
Looking at September 2026 specifically, inventory and pace tell an important part of the story. Months of supply is just 1.8 compared with 3.1 months across Michigan, underscoring a tighter seller’s market locally than in the state overall.
September saw 486 active listings with 192 new listings added, yet only 153 pending sales, a notable drop of about 24 percent from the prior month. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell than in late summer, with the median days on market rising to 31, but almost 49 percent of properties still go off market within two weeks. About 40 percent of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent, showing buyers have limited room to negotiate. With Monroe County clearly tilted toward sellers but with nuanced pricing and timing shifts, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these conditions and can guide their next move.
Monroe County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with strong schools, abundant parks and outdoor recreation, plus a growing mix of local businesses and cultural events that enrich everyday life.
Monroe County immediately feels distinct from nearby options like Wayne County and Lenawee County, thanks to its strong lakefront identity and close knit communities. Life here is shaped by Lake Erie, historic neighborhoods in Monroe, and a mix of agricultural land and industry that gives the area a grounded, hometown character.
Residents enjoy easy access to the waterfront at Sterling State Park, fishing and boating at Bolles Harbor, and trails and classes through the Monroe County Museum System. Small cities such as Temperance and Luna Pier provide everyday conveniences while keeping a relaxed pace, and families appreciate resources like the Monroe County Library System and local school districts.
Commuters value the straightforward connections to Detroit and Toledo, while long time residents often stay for generations, which can make certain neighborhoods competitive when homes hit the market. Lake access, acreage, and proximity to major routes all influence pricing and demand.
Whether you are planning to relocate to Monroe County or are a resident considering your next move, timing and preparation matter. From understanding seasonal buyer activity to setting realistic expectations on pricing, the right agent can make a meaningful difference. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with local Monroe County real estate professionals who know how to navigate this unique market.

“originally reached out to Joe Kovalchik with the Justin Ford Real Estate Team because I thought I was just getting myself in position to buy a home sometime next year. Joe connected me with a great lender, and we discovered I qualified for a USDA loan with 100% financing. Instead of waiting another year, Joe helped me get into a home much sooner than I expected. Over about a month and a half of searching, Joe helped me find the right opportunity and even got me access to a home before it officially hit the market. That ended up being the home I purchased! He also negotiated for the seller to cover my closing costs, which meant I was able to buy a home with very little money out of pocket. I couldn't be happier with how everything worked out. Joe went above and beyond to help me understand my options, find the right home, and negotiate a great deal. If you're looking for a real estate agent in Metro Detroit who understands first-time homebuyers, USDA loans, 100% financing, and how to negotiate seller-paid closing costs, I highly recommend Joe Kovalchik and the Justin Ford Real Estate Team!”

Priyanka made it seamless from the first walkthrough to the listing to handling the showings and the final closing. She was professional, communicative, and at the same time extremely friendly and approachable with the millions of questions I had. What I appreciated most was her being completely honest and transparent about setting expectations. I'd give her six stars if I could. Thank you so so much, Priyanka for helping me close on my home!”
“I had the privilege of working with Tiffanie in multiple capacities, from finding tenants for my property to successfully selling it. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

If you’re in search of a realtor who truly cares and achieves results, Tiffanie is definitely the one to call!”

From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient and took the time to answer every question we had. no matter how big or how small (or even how silly we thought they were). As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and she always made us feel comfortable asking them. One thing we really appreciated was her communication. On days when she knew she’d be especially busy, she would let us know ahead of time and always followed through by getting back to us as soon as she could. We never felt ignored or left wondering what was going on. Brandy made what could have been a stressful process so much easier with her professionalism, honesty, and dedication. She truly cared about helping us find the right home and making sure we understood every step along the way.

What impressed me most was her willingness to go the extra mile—whether it was providing detailed updates, answering every question with honesty, or handling tasks on the ground that I couldn’t do myself. Her communication was clear and consistent, which gave me complete confidence throughout the entire process. Christine’s professionalism, integrity, and genuine care for her clients set her apart.

I would not hesitate to work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor they can trust completely.”
