English term or phrase: clear the market
Bonjour,

"While demand remains strong overall, some markets have experienced an increase in supply due to new construction, and prices at the ultra-high end have abated somewhat as a result. This price adjustment is not just a result of supply, however; recent record prices led some seller expectations to get out of sync with actual market values, and prices needed to come down in order for some high end homes to clear the market."

Merci d'avance. Bonne journée.

agree  Victor Santos: Ou bien "trouver preneur". Le texte source est bizarrement formulé (j'aurais plutôt écrit: "prices needed to come down for some high end homes in order to clear the market"mais c'est un bon moyen de contourner la difficulté tout en restant fidèle au fond.

(pour que) le marché trouve son point d'équilibre


Explanation:
J'ai la sensation que le texte source est maladroitement formulé. J'aurais plutôt écrit: "prices needed to come down for some high end homes in order to clear the market".

Voilà comment je traduirais la dernière phrase:
"Toutefois, les prix records observés récemment ont engendré une déconnexion entre les prétentions de certains vendeurs et les valeurs de marché réelles. Il a donc fallu que les prix de certains biens haut de gamme baissent pour que le marché trouve son point d'équilibre."

Explanation:
Literally, to clear the market means to balance the market {demand = supply)

Alternative explanation: If prices do not go down, there would be a supply of goods (the high end houses) that would remain unsold. On the contrary, with lower prices, demand rises to adjust to unsold supply
