Looking to Buy in the Hamptons? Six Top Real Estate Names to Know

The always-coveted Hamptons have become even more in-demand over the past two years as buyers prioritized space, privacy and comfort during the pandemic. Inventory in the first quarter was down 41.5 percent year-over-year, while average prices were up nearly 25 percent, according to Douglas Elliman.

“Over the past two years, I have seen unprecedented activity from buyers looking for their piece of the exclusive East End lifestyle,” says Corcoran’s Susan Breitenbach. “With a dramatic lack of inventory, 2022 will certainly be an interesting year as one thing hasn’t changed — everyone wants a house in the Hamptons.”
