The average price of a foreclosure sale in the third quarter was 32 percent below the average sale price of non-foreclosure homes, RealtyTrac said.

That’s up from a 29 percent discount in the second quarter and a 31 percent discount in the third quarter of 2011.

Homebuyers who purchased a foreclosure sale in the third quarter paid an average of $177,430. That’s down 4 percent from the second quarter and up 3 percent from a year earlier.
