		<description>Correct, Kary, they don&#039;t if there is cancellation or expiration and re-list with a new price.  A good reason to have an agent check property history if you&#039;re getting background on a house.

As for Peter&#039;s request, the stats are updated in the 24-hour market watch and I am not aware that the MLS does a regular analysis of that specific data.  It&#039;s also too much for one agent to try and track daily since the data is constantly in flux and it depends on what time of day you&#039;re looking at it to know if you&#039;re getting relatively accurate daily data.</description>

		<description>I thought this was going to be about sale price.  The intra-month numbers there have been troubling for almost two months, but last month didn&#039;t turn out so bad.  I doubt we&#039;ll dodge a downturn again, but who knows.

BTW, not all price reductions show up in the stats.  Some are expired and then re-listed at a lower price.  

Finally, I really wish the NWMLS would switch that page to a 7 day market watch.  I think that would be more useful since some agents don&#039;t enter things on weekends, and you don&#039;t have any closings on weekends.</description>

		<description>I enjoyed this post about market movements as well. I haven&#039;t seen any other data or analysis tracking the rate of price reductions.

My gut feeling from watching particular homes and prices and being addicted to Redfin was telling me that price reductions are picking up but it is nice to see some actual analysis.

Could you take this topic a bit further and create a chart that graphs the number of price increases, declines, maybe include price per square foot etc so that we can get a visual of what is happening? It would be very interesting and would probably correlate very closely with a homeowner sentiment survey.</description>

		<description>Keep in mind that over the life of a listing, price reductions can happen 10 times or more. Numerous people are trying to create what amounts to an auction-in-reverse by starting out high, and then knocking a certain amount off every week. So a few of those in the mix can easily cause reductions to exceed new listings.</description>

		<description>Hi SL, I don&#039;t know if you&#039;re being serious or mocking me since posts don&#039;t register sarcasm, but it is fun to see those remarks on RCG!  I hope you do actually like what I write here. Let me know if there are topics you&#039;d like to see addressed.</description>
