Manhattan sellers cut their listing prices a bit less often in February compared to previous months, but neighborhoods here still have more price drops than other parts of the city.

Turtle Bay-East Midtown saw the most price drops once again, but with 143 cuts compared to 177 in January. The Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill also topped the list again, but with 134 cuts, down from 147 in January. The West Village saw the third most price cuts with a total of 103.

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 apartment with the largest dollar price drop was a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath condo in the Theater District, which saw a $5,800,000, or 12 percent, price cut to $44,000,000. The second apartment on the list, a four bedroom, six bath, is in the same building, and saw a price drop of $5,200,000, or 12 percent, drop to $39,800,000. One listing outside of Manhattan, a two-bedroom house in the Bronx, made the list of highest percentage price drops with a 33 percent, or $90,000, cut to $185,000.

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