Can Vendor Discounting Predict House Prices?

Vendor discounting describes the gap between an asking price and a completed sale, but does it lead future home values? Property Pulse Australia compares PropTrack's timing research with Cotality's definition of median vendor discounting. The evidence supports a careful reading of past negotiations, not a stand-alone price forecast. This evergreen episode explains initial listing prices, rolling windows and the homes missing from completed-sales measures.
