The much sought after Hamptons have become even more in demand over the past couple of years as shoppers prioritize space, privacy and comfort during a pandemic. Douglas Eliman said inventories fell 41.5 percent year-on-year in the first quarter, while average prices rose nearly 25 percent.
“Over the past two years, I’ve seen unprecedented activity from shoppers looking for their unique East End lifestyle,” says Susan Brightenbach of Corcoran. “With the dramatic out of stock, 2022 is going to be really exciting because one thing hasn’t changed: everyone wants a home in Hampton.”
