Sellers on the Upper East Side are coming to grips with reality: That neighborhood had the most price cuts in the city in April, according to a new report from listings site RealtyHop, which has launched a new monthly price drop report for New York City.

The report zeros in on neighborhoods with the highest total number of price drops, as well as the biggest median price drop and the biggest percentage drop in median price. 

The Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill area in Manhattan had the most price drops in April, a total of 212—which makes sense considering inventory is piling up in that neighborhood. A recent market report from Stribling also noted that the Upper East Side had the greatest number of price declines.

According to RealtyHop, Midwood in Brooklyn had the biggest median price drop, 24.9 percent. 

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