Prices on 21% of homes on the market as of Jan. 1 were cut at least once, down from 22% in the previous month and down from 25.6% two months ago, nationwide.

West Palm Beach had the highest percentage of homes with price reductions in South Florida at 23% – followed by homes for sale in Miami, with 21%, and Fort Lauderdale, with 17 percent.
