RealtyHop

New York City sellers were more willing to slash their listing prices in January than in December—reversing a trend of the past two months.

A new report by RealtyHop found the neighborhood with the highest number of price cuts last month was Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill, with 159 cuts. In December, Turtle Bay-East Midtown topped the list with 97 price drops.

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 are all in Manhattan. A penthouse at the Chelsea building designed by the late Zaha Hadid, 520 West 28th St., lead the pack with a price drop of $4,775,000 or 16.1 percent off. That condo was also in last month's report in the number two spot, thanks to a price cut of $5,050,000.

On the list of biggest price drops in terms of percentage, the top five addresses are also in Manhattan, as in previous months. A Midtown East condo, 240 East 47th St., topped the list with a 28.6 percent price chop, representing a $1,201,000 reduction.

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