Here are the NYC apartments for sale with the deepest price chops in April
Fewer New York City apartment sellers cut prices in April compared to March, according to a new RealtyHop report.
The drop in price cuts is a result of the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused a plunge in listings. Nervous sellers have been holding off getting into the traditionally robust spring selling season, creating a historic fall in inventory, a pattern that started in March after New York's "pause" order. And so with fewer listings on the market—there are fewer prices to chop. In addition, there's a theory that the sellers who are sticking with the market are not budging on their prices.
The Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill neighborhood continues to have the most price cuts in the city. There were 33 price drops, compared to 92 price drops in March.
In its monthly price drop report, RealtyHop identifies neighborhoods with the highest total number of price cuts. It also highlights areas with the biggest percentage drop in median price, and the biggest median dollar price drop.
The top five addresses with the biggest dollar price drops and highest percentage price drops were all in Manhattan, mainly on the Upper East Side and Upper West Side. An Upper East Side co-op made both lists, with a $800,000, or 18 percent, cut to $3,650,000.
Below is a look at the listings with deepest price chops identified in RealtyHop's report.
