Here are the NYC apartments for sale with the deepest price chops in August
RealtyHop’s newest price drop report for New York City reveals a decline in the number of cuts for August, reflecting a summer slowdown, and the fact that sellers are pricing their apartments more realistically these days.
The Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill topped the list of neighborhoods with the most price cuts. The area had 93 price drops last month, a 41 percent decline from July when Turtle Bay-East Midtown led the same list with 157 drops. In fact, the number of price drops declined in all the five top neighborhoods—and four of them are in Manhattan.
RealtyHop’s report zeros in on neighborhoods with the highest total number of price cuts. It also identifies areas with the biggest percentage drop in median price, and the biggest median dollar price drop.
Brooklyn's Fort Greene ranked highest on the list of top five neighborhoods with the largest median dollar price drop, with a price drop of $298,000, which is equal to 22.9 percent.
This month's listings with the largest dollar price drops include some prominent addresses, like the Plaza Hotel and 860 United Nations Plaza in Manhattan, while the listings with the largest percentage drops reflect more modest apartments in Brooklyn and Queens.
All of the addresses for the biggest price drops in absolute dollar terms are in Manhattan. The largest decrease in dollar amount was $2,000,000 in August, compared to $6,950,000 in July. And all the addresses on the top five list with the biggest percentage price drop saw cuts above 16 percent, compared to the previous month, which saw cuts above 23 percent.
Below is a look at the listings with deepest price chops identified in RealtyHop's report.
