Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, CDM and Newport Coast Lead County in Price Reductions

John Lansner's blog has a good posting identifying the communities with the greatest price reductions on MLS. Newport Beach is number 1, with the greatest price reductions and Corona Del Mar, Laguna Beach and Newport Coast are all right up there. What does this mean? It means that real estate agents in these areas generally are listing properties at unrealistic asking prices. If no one shows up to pay the initial asking price, the market is forcing price reductions. Buyers should beware of asking prices given this hard data - the true value of these properties is likely to be far, far below the asking price.

I agree with you, this is a trick played by many real estate agents. I like the link you have shared here in this post. Good to see the data and that they made the cut for around 25% in some of the properties.
