New York City sellers were in more of a holding pattern last month. RealtyHop’s price drop report for NYC for October saw a slight increase in the total number of price cuts by neighborhood, compared to September—when sellers slashed prices more dramatically. 

Turtle Bay-East Midtown topped the list of neighborhoods with the largest number of price drops with a total of 245 price drops in October. That area came in second in September, with a total of 206 price drops. Upper East-Side Carnegie Hill, which usually is the top nabe, came in second with 225 price drops, compared to 211 in September.

In this 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.

Among the top five neighborhoods with biggest median percentage price drop, Queensbridge-Ravenswood-Long Island City took the top spot with a 21.1 percent median price drop. Brooklyn claimed three out of five spots, compared to only one spot in September. 

All of the top five addresses with the biggest dollar price drop are in Manhattan, lead by a $12,250,000 price drop at 990 Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side. That cut is almost double the $6,500,000 top price drop last month. The top addresses in October saw price drops ranging from $3,000,000 to $12,250,000.

Manhattan landed four out of five spots on the list of the addresses with the biggest price drops in October in terms of percentage, and Brooklyn took one spot. (In September, Manhattan dominated all five top spots.) The top address with the highest percentage price drop is 35 East 76th St. on the Upper East Side, with a percentage price drop of 28.6 percent. All the addresses on the top five list saw price cuts of more than 20 percent.

Below is a look at the listings with deepest price chops identified in RealtyHop's report.
