Judi Desiderio of William Raveis Real Estate has released her much-anticipated East End market report. It reveals a dynamic third quarter marked by sharp contrasts.
The Hamptons
When examining all Hamptons markets combined, transactions in the $10 million to $19.99 million range increased by 43%. Sales of $20 million and above increased by 33% compared to the same period last year.
In an unexpected turn, the median home sales price dropped by 5.5% year-over-year, falling from $2,168,900 in Q3 2024 to $2,050,000 in Q3 2025.
The data highlights a growing gap between the luxury segment and the broader market. It reminds us that, even in a season of change, the Hamptons’ highest-end properties continue to drive momentum and shape the region’s market strength. See full report.
The North Fork
It’s impossible to assess the North Fork housing market without considering the ongoing shortage of listings. The region’s once quiet northern peninsula is no longer a hidden gem.
When examining all North Fork markets collectively, total home sales decreased by 25%. This drop reflects the limited supply of available properties. Despite fewer transactions, the median home sales price increased by just over 18%, reaching $1,107,500.
The lower price categories saw the biggest declines, mainly due to a lack of inventory. In contrast, the $1 million to $1.99 million range experienced the most growth, up 31%. Across all four North Fork markets tracked by William Raveis, median prices showed increases.
The data indicates strong, steady demand, especially from buyers eager to enter a market with limited options. Once inventory levels start to recover, the North Fork seems set for renewed growth in home sales. See full report.
