Price Cuts Become More Common as Housing Market Shifts
How the Trend Is Shifting
Expanding inventory has shifted the dynamic for sellers in the Mid-Atlantic market. While sellers have had the upper hand for many years, more are needing to cut their asking price to better align with market realities. Roughly a third of sellers (33.7%) who closed in February 2026 had to decrease their list price, and 38.1% of January sellers cut prices. The percentage of closed sales with a price cut was higher in 2025 than 2024, and the first two months of 2026 point to the share remaining above the recent past.
Price cuts tend to follow a seasonal pattern, with the highest share happening in the less active winter months. As the spring market begins to bloom, the share of closed sales requiring a drop in the list price decreases.
All Price Cuts Aren’t Equal
Sellers of lower-priced homes are more likely to cut their asking price. In 37.9% of transactions priced under $300,000, sellers dropped their list price. Moving toward the higher end of the market, the percentage declines. Only 28.6% of closed sales priced over $1 million reduced their list price. However, across all price points, price adjustments are more common this year than last year.
Yet both the lowest and the highest ends of the market tend to need the most tweaking. The magnitude of the cut made by sellers in January and February was 10.0% if the listing was priced under $300,000. Sellers with homes priced above $1 million cut their list price by 7.4%. By comparison, properties priced between $500,000 and $799,999 cut their list price by 5.3%. To put this in dollar perspective, the typical change in ask price for homes under $300,000 was about $22,000; for homes priced higher than $1 million, sellers cut their list price by nearly $170,000 on average.
