The Monroe, NY real estate results are available for April 2018. The number of monthly sales were stronger than the same time last year, available inventory increased slightly and sales prices for the month were healthy. If you are a buyer, there is still a low level of inventory. You have to be ready to make an offer when you see the right house, which means it's imperative that you have a pre-approval in place.

Real estate markets can change often, from a buyer's market to seller's, and from cool to hot. Right now the Monroe NY area is experiencing a "Hot" seller's market. Here are a few reasons I say that. A few weeks ago, I put a Monroe-Woodbury school district home on the market. It was a small ranch home that was in need of cosmetic updates and was being sold "as is." That being said, the property was amazing - two acres of forest, surrounded by more acreage that has been designated as a natural preserve. The home had a building-length deck in back, where homeowners can sit and enjoy the woods. On almost every visit to the home so far, I have seen deer, listened to birds, and watched squirrels cavort. This would be a great home for anyone who desires privacy and a nearness to nature. So th... 04/17/2018
