Episode 266 - John Healey
June 18, 2026 | Discussing How The US Open Impacted the Hamptons Real Estate Market with John HealeyIt’s U.S. Open Championship week in the Hamptons, with Shinnecock Hills once again putting Southampton at the center of the golf world. And, naturally, the Hamptons know how to host — even at this scale. This week, we are joined by returning guest and veteran Hamptons real estate agent John Healey for a timely conversation on the U.S. Open, Southampton rentals, and the state of the East End real estate market.We kick off with what we’re seeing on the ground in Southampton, Bridgehampton, and beyond, then get into the question everyone asked leading up to tournament week: did the U.S. Open actually send the Hamptons rental market into overdrive, or was most of that demand already locked up long before the first tee time at Shinnecock Hills?In this episode, we take a closer look at what continues to drive the Hamptons real estate market, from long-term investment confidence to the rental culture that keeps people coming back year after year.We discuss:How the Hamptons real estate market continues to hold steady despite interest rate hikes, inflation concerns, and global uncertaintyWhy the East End remains one of the most consistent long-term luxury real estate investmentsHow seasonal rentals can often turn into future buyers when agents stay connectedWhy the “experience economy” helps explain the people who happily rent in the Hamptons year after year, instead of owningIf you have ever wondered whether owning property in the Hamptons is not only a lifestyle decision but an asset you can actually live in, this conversation brings both the logic and the nuance.We also spotlight a specific Southampton Village opportunity at 220 Elm Street, including what makes a classic village property worth renovating rather than tearing down, and why location, scale, and potential still matter in a market that often favors new construction.Weekly Hamptons Real Estate Data from Saunders & Associates:32 listings went into contract, representing $126M in dollar volume, alongside 35 new listings. We also break down what the latest $3M to $5M activity says about buyer demand, pricing confidence, and the continued preference for turnkey or newly built homes.We wrap with our summer Hamptons real estate forecast, the real impact of permitting and certificate of occupancy delays, and a quick look at East End weekend events to keep on your radar.About Happening in the Hamptons Real Estate PodcastHappening in the Hamptons is powered by Saunders & Associates, the #1 locally owned real estate brokerage in the Hamptons, and Hamptons.com, the Hamptons’ leading lifestyle brand for what to do, where to go, and what’s happening across the East End.Each week, Happening in the Hamptons covers the people, properties, market trends, events, restaurants, local businesses, charity happenings, arts and culture, and community stories shaping life on the East End.

Episode 262 - Sarah Minardi
May 21, 2026 - Discussing Memorial Day Weekend In The HamptonsMemorial Day weekend doesn’t “start” in the Hamptons so much as it snaps on, like someone flipped a switch. One day you’re watching empty beaches on the live cams, the next day the sand is full, the Village shops are open, and everyone is back on the East End. This week on the Happening in the Hamptons podcast, we discuss Memorial Day Weekend in the Hamptons to ground a practical conversation about the Hamptons real estate market, Hamptons rentals, and what the first big holiday weekend signals for the Summer season ahead.We’re joined by East Hampton’s own Sarah Minardi to talk local flavor and real community news, including the East Hampton school bond approval for a new indoor pool and field house with shared community use. We explore what many people want to know right now: Is it too late to find a summer rental? Sarah breaks down why the rental market is up year over year while inventory remains surprisingly active, thanks in part to homeowners who bought during COVID and are now putting their homes into the rental pool.We highlight two very different rental experiences, including a concierge-supported cottage next to the newly renovated Hedges Inn in East Hampton Village and a Montauk Hither Hills home built around ocean views and easy beach access. We explore the Hamptons Real Estate Market Report Q1 2026 from Saunders & Associates to run the weekly numbers, dig into Q1 trends where median prices rise while sales fall, and wrap with a Memorial Day weekend guide to events, food, and places worth getting excited about.

Episode 261 - Drew Green
May 14, 2026 - Discussing California Dreamin' in the Hamptons with Drew GreenA spring that wouldn’t cooperate is finally giving way to the Hamptons season, and you can feel the shift in real time: more cars heading east, more open houses, and a lot more inventory hitting the market before Memorial Day weekend. We break down what that late start means for buyers and sellers right now, and how a few sunny weekends can change the pace of deals across the East End. We spotlight a head-turning Southampton waterfront listing at 24 Aqua Drive, perched above Shinnecock Bay with sweeping views, a waterside pool, and a boat lift that makes ocean access feel effortless. Then we switch gears to 72 Bay Avenue West in Hampton Bays, a property with subdivision potential that speaks to investors, builders, and anyone thinking about long-term value in Hamptons real estate.Weekly Hamptons Real Estate Market Data: 26 listings in contract, a major burst of 50 new listings in one week, and inventory climbing to 1,752 total listings.

Episode 260 - Ed Gaetjens
Discussing the Importance of Maintaining RelationshipsThe Hamptons can feel like a world-famous destination, but the way business works out here is pure small town: everyone’s connected, word travels fast, and your reputation is the real asset you can’t afford to gamble with. We start with a story about losing a listing, staying respectful anyway, and watching the relationship come back around, a reminder that “don’t burn bridges” isn’t just good manners, it’s smart real estate strategy.Then we get into the fun part: new construction and standout listings that are ready for summer. We spotlight a Southampton Village home at 109 David Whites Lane that’s beautifully built, walkable to the village, and somehow fits seven ensuite bedrooms into 4,200 square feet, plus entertaining-friendly outdoor spaces. We also run through multiple turnkey builds in Bridgehampton and Southampton, packed with the amenities buyers keep asking for right now: gunite pools, outdoor kitchens, theaters, saunas, cold plunges, and furnished options that make moving in feel effortless.To ground it all, we share this week’s Hamptons real estate market numbers including deals in contract, dollar volume, and the steady flow of new inventory as Memorial Day approaches. And because the East End isn’t only about houses, we wrap with Mother’s Day weekend restaurant specials and events across Montauk, Shelter Island, and Sag Harbor.

Episode 259 - Lori Lambert and Steven Zellman
April 30, 2026 - Discussing Should You Buy or Should You Rent in the HamptonsA $100,000 summer rental can disappear in six weeks, but that same $100,000 can also change what you can afford forever. We dig into the Hamptons buy vs rent decision the way real clients actually face it: comparing a home for sale against a home for rent, weighing lifestyle against long-term wealth, and asking the uncomfortable question of how much you need to use a place for ownership to make sense.We also talk about what makes the Hamptons unique: every town and pocket lives differently. Do you want beach access, village energy, bay sunsets, or quiet woods? Renting can be a smart “test drive” if you are unsure, but buying starts to look like a slam dunk when you know your spot and plan to hold for years. One of our favorite frames is the fixed-rate mortgage “time travel” effect: locking a key cost while rents and everyday expenses rise, turning today’s payment into tomorrow’s bargain.Then we shift to the market and what’s happening now. We spotlight a featured listing at 578 Stephen Hands Path with both sale and summer rental options, share this week’s Hamptons stats on deals in contract, dollar volume, new listings, and inventory, and close with weekend picks from a psychic medium to live comedy, spring markets, a museum opening, and Long Island Restaurant Week. If this helped you think clearer about buying, renting, or timing your move, subscribe, share this with a friend debating the Hamptons, and leave us a review.
