Despite recent median price gains in 4 out of 8 Irvine ZIPs, listing prices continue to be slashed as hopeful home sellers adjust their expectations.

During the month of May, 112 Irvine homes saw a price reduction, according to real estate website Trulia.com. In April, 134 price reductions were made.

May’s reductions range from an $800,000 price cut on a Shady Canyon estate to a puzzling $900 price cut on a Turtle Rock home.

In other home price news, Irvine’s average listing price crept up to $956,028, an increase of .3% compared to the prior week.

There were 97 new listings in the past 7 days, including scores of foreclosures, according to Trulia.

What do you think? Will we continue to see substantial price drops in the year or two to come, or have prices begun to stabilize? Make some bold predictions!
