With the power of Tableau and over a year’s worth of detailed King County sales data, here’s another interactive visualization I whipped up for you. The map below is color-coded to show the average discount of the final sale price from the original list price for each zip code in King County. Below the map is a list of the top 10 highest-discounted zip codes for the selected month (zip codes with less than 10 sales are excluded from the top 10).
Interestingly, even in the “hot” north Seattle zip codes of 98117, 98103, and 98115, sellers have had to come down around 3% on price in order to sell. Some of the biggest discounts are consistently found in Bellevue (98004) and Mercer Island (98040).
Notice anything else interesting about the pattern of discounts around Seattle?
