Nearly Half of Home Sellers Are Reducing Prices — Here’s What the Latest Data Shows

The housing market is showing signs of cooling as we move deeper into the fall season.

Recent data reveals that 42% of single-family home listings have seen a price reduction, with the typical markdown averaging 4%. The median list price now stands at $444,900, while new listings are entering the market at a lower median of $410,000.

These shifts point to a key trend: sellers are adjusting expectations to meet a more selective buyer pool.

Why Sellers Are Making Price Cuts

Price reductions are most common in the mid-range and higher-end markets, where homes often face more competition and longer sales timelines. The median days on market has climbed to 70 days, up from the low 60s just a month ago.

This suggests that today’s buyers are taking their time—comparing value, location, and features before making an offer. For sellers, this makes one factor more important than ever: smart pricing from the start.
