Mike Korchinski, a branch vice president at Coldwell Banker Realty, cited a 16 percent increase in Monroe home prices last year, and another 4 percent increase during the first quarter of 2022. “We are on pace for an annual increase of 12 percent for 2022,” he said. “It’s astronomical.”
But that hasn’t stopped buyers. Jane Ferro, a sales associate with the Levinson Ferro Team at Coldwell Banker, said sellers are receiving multiple offers within days of listing their homes. “Inventory is low, buyers are coming in droves and everything is going over asking.”
