Which Neighborhoods Have the Fastest Price Reductions?

Here’s a fun set of data. Redfin data engineers have dug deep into our market databases to find out which neighborhoods have the fastest price reductions.

For listings with more than one price drop, we calculated the time between each price drop. Then, for each neighborhood, we calculated the median average number of days between successive price drops for listings. Neighborhoods with fewer than 20 reduced-price listings were excluded from the calculation.

Here’s a chart of the top ten neighborhoods with the fastest price reductions:

Both Sunpark and Californial Heights made this month’s top ten neighborhoods with the most price-reduced listings and the fastest price reductions.

Statistically, no strong patterns are apparent in Los Angeles neighborhoods with more rapid price reductions. They’re equally likely to be expensive neighborhoods like Sunpark or relatively inexpensive like Poly High. However, geographically, it is interesting to note that four of the top ten neighborhoods with the fastest price reductions are clustered around the Long Beach area.
