Q. Last spring, we put our Upper West Side apartment on the market. It is a two-bedroom in mint condition with wraparound views, and we listed it for a little over $2 million. Ten days later, our agent suggested lowering the price because she said the market was suddenly soft. After about four weeks, we took the apartment off the market. I have noticed that many comparable apartments are now off the market, too. Is the overall market soft? Are two-bedrooms the problem? Is it my neighborhood?

A. The housing market in New York is not what it was a year ago. Gone are the days when you could list your apartment for 20 percent more than the last comparable sale and watch the offers roll in over the next couple of days. “This has been the story for 2016,” said Jonathan J. Miller, the president of the real estate appraisal firm Miller Samuel. “The market has largely reset.”
