Quarterly Market Update

Activity eased again, but the pace of decline moderated from a steeper slowdown in the first quarter. Limited inventory continues to support quality assets while buyers gain selective-not universal - leverage.

The Hamptons market entered 2026 with moderated activity and continued underlying strength. In the first quarter, there were 190 closed transactions and 313 new listings.

Following a strong and broadly balanced Q3, Q4 reflected a natural seasonal recalibration, with transaction volume moderating but buyer intent remaining firm. The market did not lose overall momentum; it became more selective.

After a strong first half, the Hamptons residential market held firm through Q3, maintaining balanced momentum across nearly every submarket and across all pricing tiers. 

The Hamptons residential real estate market continued its upward trajectory in Q2 2025, with both closed sales and new listings showing solid year-over-year gains.
