It may be that flippers misjudge the market, price way too high and then reduce the price when the get no bites. That’s what I’m seeing around me.

It may be that the amount of price reductions are just exactly the same as what we saw a year or two years ago.

Or it may be that the market is cooling.

But just because you see price reductions doesn’t mean diddly.

Inventory is still very tight, and I think prices have reached a plateau, but I haven’t seen any evidence of a fall yet. Maybe in 6 months.
