  • One in four U.S. homes sees price cut

    September 11, 2009 01:53PM

    More than one in four U.S. homes on the market as of Sept. 1 had seen their prices cut at least once, according to data released today by real estate search Web site Trulia.com. Twenty-six percent of homes on the market had seen their prices cut, up from 25 percent a month earlier. The company said the increase was due to the upcoming expiration of the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit and to sellers’ desire to take advantage of the peak sale season. Home prices were discounted by an average of 10 percent, the same rate as in the previous month.

  • Low flow for high end

    June 15, 2009 11:05AM

    Bogged down by pricing that remains out of sync with plunging property
    values and buyers expecting great deals, the $1 million-plus luxury
    market in South Florida moves at a trickle compared to lower priced
    homes. Even realistically priced but expensive homes sit on the market for
    twice as long as homes in the $300,000 and under range, due mostly to
    the battering of the stock market and sagging economy — and topped off
    by a tough financing climate. Together, that’s taken plenty of
    prospective buyers out of the equation. One doesn’t have to look far to find examples of luxury homes that
    aren’t selling. A 10,000-square-foot Intracoastal home in Boca Raton
    has been on the market for two years. The seller dropped the price
    several times — from $12 million to $7.1 million. [more]
