Biggest cuts

Methodology:“Distressed” means a genuine price reduction from the original MLS list price plus a motivation signal (extended time on market, or as-is / short-sale / investor language in the listing remarks) — the same qualification the live distressed-properties gallery uses. Figures are computed from the full qualifying cohort at the time stated, not a display- capped subset. This is a market snapshot, not an appraisal or investment advice.

“We publish the number we actually observed on the date we observed it — not a rounded estimate, not a backfilled trend. If the data isn't there yet, we say so instead of guessing.”
