The Monroe County housing market in May 2026
Prices in Monroe County are still climbing: the median sale price reached $300,000 in May 2026, 7.9% above a year earlier. Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $259,900, and sold for a median of $197 per square foot. The average sale closed at 119.3% of asking price and 84% of homes sold above list, so buyers are still bidding against each other.
There were 551 homes for sale at the end of May, down 11% from a year earlier, or 1.1 months of supply, a tight market. The typical home that sold had been listed for 8 days, about the same as a year earlier. 83% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 3% fewer homes and sales were down 27%.
Only 15% of listings had a price cut in May 2026 (1.0 points more than a year earlier), so most sellers are getting close to their asking price.
For FSBO outreach, this means many Monroe County owners can still sell on their own, so lead with pricing data and a net-proceeds comparison rather than an offer to list. The trend to watch: fewer homes for sale than a year ago.

When Monroe County homeowners list
Listing activity is strongly seasonal in Monroe County. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in May and June, with May running about 32% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 59% below it. Homes that sold in June had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 8 days), and those that sold in February the most (about 12 days).
Have your list, scripts and mail pieces ready by April, so you reach new FSBO owners in their first weeks. Sales are slowest around February, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.

Working Monroe County FSBO leads
- Sell the upside. With 84% of homes selling above list, agents do better pitching wider exposure and competing offers than a discount.
- Split the list by city. Irondequoit (median $289,000) and Rochester (median $191,000) sit 51% apart on price, and Rochester also had the most sales in May 2026 (123), so one script will not fit every owner.
- Time it. Put your heaviest outreach into May and June, when the most Monroe County homes come to market, and ease off in December.
- Use the 8-day mark. Half of the Monroe County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 8 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Monroe County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
