This five-bedroom townhouse, 32 Mount Morris Park West in Central Harlem, made the lists for both the highest dollar price drop and percentage price drop in November.

RealtyHop

Far fewer New York City sellers were in a price-cutting mood last month. RealtyHop’s price drop report saw a 36 percent decrease in the total number of price cuts across NYC in November compared to October.

The Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill regained its position as the neighborhood with the most price drops (156). In the previous month, the area saw 225 listings with price chops. Turtle Bay-East Midtown was second on the list, with 137 price cuts. (Last month these two nabes were in reverse positions on this list, and Turtle Bay-East Midtown had a total of 245 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.

For November, the top five neighborhoods with the biggest median percentage price drops are in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens. The number one neighborhood was Brownsville, which had a 15.8 percent median price drop, reflecting a $53,000 drop in price. 

All of the top five addresses with the biggest dollar price drops are in Manhattan—and what a difference a month makes. In October, a steep price drop of $12,250,000 was the biggest. For November, the biggest price drop was $2,250,000.

For the list of biggest price drop in terms of percentage, the top five addresses in November are all in Midtown East, led by a percentage price drop of 27.1 percent at a penthouse at 420 East 51 St. All the addresses on this top five list saw price cuts above 19 percent.

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