May 14, 2026 - Discussing California Dreamin' in the Hamptons with Drew Green

A 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.

We wrap with a local events roundup, including a wildlife rescue pickleball tournament, sip-and-paint at the Baker House, Wave Wellness, and the return of the free coffee trucks at open houses.
