Here are the NYC apartments for sale with the deepest price chops in May
This three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath condo, 959 1st Ave., #PH1, in Midtown East made both lists for biggest dollar price drops and highest percentage price drops in RealtyHop's monthly report.
There was an increase in the number of sellers who cut listing prices in May compared to April, but the discounts were smaller on average than the previous month, according to a new RealtyHop report.
The number of price cuts remains lower than usual as many sellers sit out the market because of the shutdown. But that may change soon: Brokers will be able to show apartments under Phase 2—the earliest that could be is June 22, although Mayor Bill de Blasio says July is a more likely timeframe.
In May, Lincoln Square had the most price cuts in the city. The neighborhoods saw 47 price drops, compared to 26 in April. The biggest price drop in dollars was $805,000 and the rest were in the $150,000-$250,000 range. In April, there was a top price cut of $4,088,000 and rest were in the $200,000-$290,000 range.
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 West Side and in Midtown East. A Chelsea penthouse made both lists, with cut of $1,750,000, or 21 percent.
Below is a look at the listings with deepest price chops identified in RealtyHop's report.
