    By USA TODAY Network,

    2024-07-17

    Newly released data from Realtor.com for April shows that potential buyers and sellers in Monroe County saw houses sell for higher than the previous month's median sales price of $227,450.

    The median home sold for $230,000, an analysis of data from Realtor.com shows. That means April, the most recent month for which figures are available, was up 1.1% from March.

    Compared to April 2023, the median home sales price was up 13.6% at $230,000 compared to $202,500.

    Realtor.com sources sales data from real estate deeds, resulting in a few months' delay in up-to-date data. The statistics don't include homes currently listed for sale, and aren't directly comparable to listings data.

    The median home sales price used in this report represents the midway point of all the houses or units listed over the given period of time. The median offers a more accurate view of what's happening in a market than the average sales price, which would mean taking the sum of all sales prices then dividing by the number of homes sold. The average can be skewed by one particularly low or high sale.
