Monroe Homebuyers Expand Searches Amid High Prices and Remote Work Flexibility

As home prices remain high, potential buyers in Monroe are seeking more affordable options outside urban centers like Phoenix, Arizona and Dallas, fueled by remote work flexibility.

• High home prices are prompting Monroe homebuyers to look beyond city limits, with Kansas City, Missouri and other areas seeing increased interest.
• Near record-high mortgage rates are making housing unaffordable; a mere one-point increase can raise monthly payments by over $100, forcing buyers to expand searches.
• The median home price continues to be a barrier, even as more properties come on the market, driving the trend towards suburban and rural purchases.
