Very interesting stats. I might have assumed that the highest discount rates would come from the areas with the highest proportion of high-priced houses - the over-$700k set, but that is not obviously so. I love your last chart - I have been thinking about doing one like this to measure what I've been calling the Disappointment Index - an index of the difference between what Sellers were hoping for, and what they actually got. 15% is a heap of disappointment.
