Barbara Walters’ NYC Home Finds Yet Another Buyer After Price Drop

Barbara Walters‘ longtime New York City home was going to belong to someone new late last year — but that sale fell through, and after a big price drop … someone else has entered the chat.

Real estate sources tell TMZ that the late news anchor’s longtime NYC apartment — which she’d lived in since 1989 — has once again found another prospective buyer … this after somebody who was supposed to buy the crib back in November pulled out.

Unclear what the person who’s now down to purchase it plunked down with an offer — but our sources say the realtors are under contract with someone … and trying to finalize things.

Whereas the apartment was initially listed for $19.75 million … it dropped in the fall to about $17.7 mil — and now, the place is for sale at a cool $16.9 million, so few hundred thou less.

We said it the last time and we’ll say it again … the pad is worth every penny. It comes with a wood-burning fireplace, 10-foot high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows with fantastic views of Central Park.

By all accounts … it’s quintessential NYC luxury living — and now, there might just be somebody who’ll call it their home … that is, if they can get escrow to close.
