$ Price Decrease
The percent of active listings that have received a price decrease is a measure of demand. In a normal market, we tend to see about 30-35% of sellers initially over-price their homes and eventually reduce the price to attract buyers. Below 30% signals solid demand at prevailing prices, while 40% or more generally indicates reduced demand
price decreases happen more in the fall when it's time to move the listings before the holidays
$ Price Increase
Price increases, on the other hand, are usually under 5%. When you see price increases climbing, it's often a sign of investor activity in a market, iBuyers and flips – or simply very high demand. This is a bullish signal for future sales prices and home values.

Relisted Inventory for Union City Homes Explained
Relisted Percent For Union City Homes
Percent Relisted points to deals falling through or listings expiring – the percent of homes on the market which we've seen listed, withdrawn and relisted
In a normal market, we typically see Percent Relisted under 10%, and in hot markets it's just a couple percent. Contracts are much less likely to fall through or listings to be withdrawn when the buyers are most active.
Keep an eye on this stat as you're making decisions about buying or selling. As Percent Relisted increases, it tells us that weakening competition is creating opportunity for buyers. If Percent Relisted climbs dramatically, as it did in the summer of 2006, this can be an early signal of a coming market correction. Also remember to run this number for different price segments, as the market for higher-priced homes may behave differently.
