In the New York real estate market, some aspirationally high prices do a number to attract a flurry of attention to listings. However, this does not always translate into finding a buyer as quickly as one would like, leading to sellers often having to reduce the price to bring it closer in line with market realities. Unfortunately, a recent analysis by Forbes found that more often than not, the property has lingered on the market to a point where serious buyers wonder if something is wrong with it by the time this step is taken.
Some Upper West Side developers are learning this the hard way. In recent years, a stretch of New York best known for stately prewar buildings has seen an influx of new condominiums with an array of amenities and without the sometimes onerous requirements of a cooperative. However, this market is extremely crowded and shows no sign of slowing down. It is against this backdrop that apartments at 212W93, 200 Amsterdam Avenue, and 393 West End Avenue were among approximately 300 condos, co-ops, condops, and townhouses throughout New York experienced price reductions from September 24-30, 2024.

Also last week, former New York City mayor and disbarred attorney Rudy Giuliani further reduced the price of his Upper East Side apartment in a prestigious cooperative to $5,175,000. A federal judge tossed out his bankruptcy case in July 2024, a move that clears the way for his assets, including his properties, to be seized to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by two Georgia election workers. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for October 8, and a source told the New York Post, "He knows that he either has to sell the home quickly or risk losing it in court."
