We’ve seen plenty of homes get price cuts. It’s a way to coax buyers off the sideline. In most cases, those price reductions are in the range of, say, 5% to 10%.

However, this week’s most popular home on Realtor.com® took a completely different tack. It paid off with tens of thousands of clicks—and an offer.

This drastic reduction even caused us to do a double take.

A nondescript five-bedroom home in Central Florida home was originally listed on May 12 for $750,000. Two weeks later, it was reduced to $699,000. On June 15, it went down to $650,000. Exactly one month later, the agent pushed all the chips in and slashed the price to $300,000.

As far as we can tell, nothing about the home changed. It wasn’t wrecked by a storm or burned to the ground. It simply wasn’t selling. To reduce the price by more than 50% is a bold sales strategy.

Perhaps it’s a sign of the times or just a marketing tactic designed to spur a bidding war? Whatever the reason, it created plenty of buzz for a home that wasn’t attracting any interest.

In addition to pricing shenanigans in Florida, you also clicked on a midcentury modern home with an indoor pool in Pennsylvania, a riverfront antique in Maine, and a beautiful Craftsman home in Illinois.

Price: $49,900 Why it’s here: While the price of $16 per square foot is certainly attractive, the septic system on this four-bedroom home does not work. And buyer beware: The approved plans for a new install call for a strict low-flow tank.

Built in 1828, the 3,180-square-foot property is located near a busy highway and might be best suited for commercial use. The back porch may also need to be removed to accommodate the new septic system. No surprise: It’s being sold as is.

Price: $300,000 Why it’s here: It’s 60% off its initial list price of $750,000! And nothing seems to be wrong with the home!

The listing notes that the massive price reduction was a shift in “market pricing strategy.” It worked, because the home is now pending sale. We’ll see if the huge price cut led to a multiple-offer situation. In any case, the sellers are willing to take a bath on a place they bought in 2019 for $460,887.

As for the five-bedroom home, it is tucked inside a gated community and features modern amenities. Built in 2018, the house has 3,555 square feet of living space. There’s a gorgeous primary suite with a soaking tub, a kitchen with a butler’s pantry, and a lower level that could be transformed into an in-law suite.
