Trump Tower, #33F (Keller Williams NYC) Trump Tower, #33F (Keller Williams NYC)
When it's time to sell a longtime property, sellers have a tendency to overprice it so as to account for happy memories and the time and money they've put into maintaining and upgrading it. However, a Forbes article from earlier this summer strongly advises against this -- it could turn off a wide range of buyers, cause the property to languish on the market, and ultimately lead to it selling for less than anyone had hoped. Dorothy Schrager of Coldwell Banker Warburg cautions that "it's important to think about your home in a less personal way: you need to start thinking of it as an asset that you are selling, and you must take your personal feelings out of the picture, because it’s a business deal."

From August 9-15, 2023, a total of 177 sales listings throughout New York experienced price reductions. A selection of notable listings, some of which have spent several months on the market, may be found below. Please be advised that all of the following figures reflect cumulative price cuts as opposed to the most recent reductions.
