How many sellers cut
Price cuts show how often the first asking price met the market. In Katy, 1,244 of 2,625 active homes (47%) have a reduction. By month, the share of sellers cutting ranged from 32% to 45%. The share that relisted ranged from 21% to 29%.
What it means for buyers and sellers
For buyers, a reduction can be a signal about seller flexibility, but each home has its own story. For sellers, a first price that draws showings in the first weeks is usually worth more than a cut later. Numbers like these describe the whole of Katy, not one street or one home, and real estate decisions are rarely a straight line.
