In recent years, numerous new condos have taken shape along the Hudson River to make the most of water views - so many that it the new development building boom appears to have stretched from Lower Manhattan to Morningside Heights. But are there now more waterfront buildings than luxury buyers?

To look at the approximately 300 listings that experienced price reductions from April 9-15, an unusual number of discounted listings were located in recent developments near the Hudson River waterfront.

Separately, a notable price chop occurred at 322 East 57th Street in Sutton Place, where the price of a high-ceilinged co-op once owned by Kathie Lee Gifford and her late husband, football player Frank Gifford, was reduced by $400K. The Giffords sold the stately spread in 2001 after the board rejected three prospective buyers. Here’s to wishing the current owners better luck.

These listings, along with a full chart of last week's price cuts, may be seen below. Please be advised that all quoted figures reflect cumulative price cuts as opposed to the most recent reductions.
