September City/Neighborhood Price Reductions

It’s been a while since we had a look at which cities and towns have the most price reductions.

The following charts show the percent of MLS, FSBO or REO listings that were price-reduced at some point before leaving the market (either sold or removed unsold from the market) in the past 90 days. Cities/towns or neighborhoods in which the number of homes taken off the market was too small to provide believable estimates are excluded from ranking.

For those that are interested, I have uploaded the full data set in Excel format here. The downloadable Excel file also includes charts showing the top ten cities/towns/neighborhoods with the least reduced-price listings.

First up are the top ten cities with the most price-reduced listings:

Of the 96 cities/towns we ranked in the Los Angeles area this month, just 9 had price-reduced ratios of fifty percent or more. The median price-reduced ratio was 31.1%.

Getting a little more granular, let’s look at the top ten neighborhoods for price reductions:

Of the 172 neighborhoods we ranked this month, 14 had a price-reduced ratio of fifty percent or more. The median price-reduced ratio was 36.9%.
