National MLS Discount and Short-Sale Listings: the Dataset
Outside Florida DLRadar has no parcel roll to test a listing against, so the national discount dataset relies on what the listing itself discloses: a short sale, a distressed sale type, a price cut or a price below the area's recent sales. It is broader and shallower than the Florida pool, and it is kept by state.
