NYC apartments with substantial asking price reductions NYC apartments with substantial asking price reductions
In the world of New York real estate, it is fascinating to see how one digit can make such a difference in the mindset of apartment hunters. Multi-million-dollar listings can be daunting for the non-luxury buyer, but seeing an apartment reduced to six figures suddenly makes it seem more attainable. Even a price of $999K can appear friendlier than $1 million.

The phenomenon has come up often among the top ten listings throughout New York that have experienced price reductions in the past week. Please note that the following apartments show cumulative cuts and not the most recent price chops.
