The Hamptons enters 2026 with prices still advancing — annual prime growth of +2.2% on our Index, against a twelve-market average of +3.2%. The Northeast's summer estate market — waterfront, heritage and quiet money.
At roughly $14,800 per square metre at the top decile, The Hamptons sits among the more accessible of the prime markets. The very best assets here take a median 158 days to sell — a measure of how patiently this market trades.
The drivers are familiar and durable: scarcity of genuinely prime stock, an internationally mobile buyer base, and a flight to assets that hold value when the mainstream wobbles. Read The Hamptons alongside the other eleven markets in the full LPM Prime Index.
