Last year proved to be a notably favorable one for homebuyers, with the typical purchaser buying below the list price receiving a 7.9 percent discount—the largest amount since 2012.
According to a Feb. 2 report from Redfin, this translated to about $31,592 off the 2025 median list price of $399,900. Among all homebuyers, the average discount was $15,196 or 3.8 percent.
