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

If you invest in or around Monroe, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Monroe sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, as of September 2026.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 12 months: 271
  • Median sold price, last 12 months: $700,000
  • Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $357
  • Middle half of sales closed between: $595,000 and $919,950

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 271 closed sales in Monroe over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $700,000. 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 $595,000 and $919,950. 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. 83% 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 268 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $317 and $405 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Monroe over the last 12 months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $595,000 and $919,950. Among the 64 Washington markets with a published band, Monroe's middle-half spread ($595,000 to $919,950) ranks 35th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 17 days, across 232 Monroe closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
  • Contract to closing: a median of 29 days, across 218 Monroe closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 271 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Monroe angle

Monroe closed 271 tracked sales in our data over the last 12 months at a median of $700,000, with the middle half between $595,000 and $919,950. Both the spread and the closed sale count sit close to typical for the markets we track, which is the least dramatic reading a market can post and the easiest one to misread as permission to lean on the citywide number. There is more room between the median and the upper quartile than there is below it. A Monroe valuation built toward the strong end of the market therefore has further to fall if the comps do not back it.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. 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. 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.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Monroe over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Monroe city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 12% of the 271 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone matched it at $700,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the median home price in Monroe?

How many homes sold in Monroe last month?

What is the typical price per square foot in Monroe?

Among qualifying Monroe closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median sold price per square foot was $357, measured across 268 sales with usable living area. Median is used rather than average because outliers distort the mean.

Does an average looking price spread make the Monroe median more reliable?

It makes it neither more nor less reliable than the usual case, which is the honest answer. A spread close to typical for the markets we track means the middle half of closings still covers a real range, so the midpoint locates the market and not the address. Build the number from closed sales matched on the attributes that move price for your subject, and use the middle half only to ask whether the result is plausible.
