Monroe, LA Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

Monroe produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last 12 months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 292
• •Median sold price, last 12 months: $248,500
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $122
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $165,000 and $389,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 292 closed sales in Monroe over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $248,500. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $165,000 and $389,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 96% of the Monroe closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 289 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $90 and $153 per square foot.

From market read to offer price

A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,516+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Monroe address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
