The snapshot
- •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 241

What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 241 closed sales in Monticello over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $324,900. 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 $273,000 and $380,000. 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. Across the 239 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $148 and $197 per square foot.

The Monticello angle
Monticello returned 241 tracked closings in the last 12 months, a median closed sale price of $324,900, and a middle half between $273,000 and $380,000. That band sits among the tightest spreads we track, which is about as favorable as a market summary gets: ordinary sales here land within a short distance of one another. The practical consequence is that an estimate far from the midpoint is a strong claim about the subject, and it should arrive with a matched closing that supports 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 Monticello 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 Monticello over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Monticello 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 241 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $325,000.

Can I use the Monticello median as a quick valuation?
As a quick sanity number for an ordinary house, yes, and this is one of the few markets where that is close to defensible. It is still a market statistic and not a valuation of your address, so anything unusual about the subject has to be priced separately. The moment the property is atypical in size, age or lot, go back to matched closings.
