Where homes are selling way above -- and below -- asking price
It's true what they say: real estate is all about location. In some markets, buyers are getting homes at nearly half off the listing price, while properties in other markets are selling for far above asking.
On average, homes are selling at 82% of asking price nationwide, according to Daren Blomquist, vice president of RealtyTrac. Some areas in California are so hot that homes are going for more than 15% above asking. But in the Tampa, Fla., area, homes are selling for at an estimated 53% below the listing price.
Here's a breakdown of how counties across the country rank in terms of sales that go far above and below asking price, according to RealtyTrac:
