Record 42% of U.S. Home Listings Face Price Reductions, West Leads
A new Parcl Labs report shows 42% of active U.S. homes have lowered their asking prices, with the highest cuts in Western and Sun Belt cities.
According to fresh analytics from Parcl Labs, price cuts now affect 42% of all active home listings across the United States, a rise of 24 basis points from the week before, with the total inventory at 1.57 million homes. The reduction wave is concentrated in Western and Sun Belt markets, where cities such as Colorado Springs (56.3%), Austin (54.1%), San Antonio (53.4%), Denver (53.1%) and Kingsport, Tennessee (51.1%) see more than half of listings trimmed.
Smaller Northeast and Midwest markets like Rochester (17.8%), Atlantic City (18.9%) and Lincoln, Nebraska (22.1%) experience far fewer discounts. State-wide, Colorado, Oregon, Texas, South Carolina, Arizona, Tennessee, Florida and Louisiana all hover in the mid-40% range, while New York (28.9%), Connecticut (25.1%) and New Jersey (28.4%) remain below 30%. Analysts attribute the trend to educated, patient buyers and persistently high mortgage rates around 7%, prompting sellers to adjust prices to attract demand.
