Location And Pricing Close The Deal Says Hamptons Real Estate Pro Mala Sander

“I think as long as the Hamptons retain their natural character and NYC is less than two hours away, the East End will always be a golden investment,” says Mala Sander, Corcoran Group Senior Vice President/Associate Broker. Real estate was a “natural fit” for Sander who spent a career in sales and marketing prior to moving full-time to the Hamptons in 2000 with her husband. A view of Noyac Bay from her North Haven home is a calming backdrop for the customer service pro as she prepares for appointments throughout the East End.

If “location” is the first rule in real estate, what is the second?
MS: Location, followed by location again. There is no substitute! You can always change the house but you can’t change the location!

What is your forecast for the spring/summer real estate season in the Hamptons/North Fork?
MS: It’s been a very active market that didn’t slow down even during the holidays. Granted there was some “fiscal cliff” push and a fear of upcoming cap gains taxes, but there was a lot of activity even independent of those uncertainties. Now that we’re into the new year it remains very busy, with buyers and renters on the hunt for summer 2013 occupancy. Prices are still low, interest rates remain incredibly low, and there’s a healthy amount of inventory. That bodes well all around.

What are the emerging trends in architecture?
MS: Clean, modern lines are the hot trend right now. Less formality, more public spaces in the home, and rooms that blend the indoors with the outside are very much in demand.

How have buyers/sellers changed over the past two years?
MS: Everyone is much more tech savvy, and therefore more market savvy. It actually makes for a better market environment. Educated buyers and sellers know how – and when – to make a deal.

What is an easy way to increase the value of a property?
MS: Believe it or not, pricing it right is one way to get the highest price for a property. That’s one way. Beyond that, make sure any outstanding repairs are done, paint is fresh, entryways are welcoming, windows are clean, and that the house looks and smells fresh & clean. Get rid of the clutter. Clean out closets. Upgrade kitchen appliances if you can, that will get a lot of bang for the buck. Spruce up landscaping. Update your furnishings and window coverings, making sure they’re properly sized for the house.

Tell us about one of your favorite listings on the market right now.
MS: I don’t have a favorite, but my newest listing is a renovated, hundred-year-old manor house in North Haven. It’s on 2 acres and has views of Sag Harbor Bay. The house is very special, click here to check it out.

  • Did You Know That Seagulls Love Spaghetti?

I have no idea who was the first person to think of bringing a bowl of spaghetti to the beach to share with a seagull but my money’s on Jackson Pollack who happened to love spaghetti after having it for the first time at 18.

  • Sensational Food at the 1770 House

All I can say is wow. JUST WOW!

The 1770 House is the real deal. It’s some of the best fine dining that the Hamptons has to offer. Executive Chef Michael Rozzi has put together a menu that is hard to beat and the restaurant is run by long-time manager, Carol Covell. I want to get to the food because that’s the real star of the show, but the people that work here are also.  @1770house

  • Handy Lane Now a Luxury Street in Hamptons Real Estate

The entire street has transformed for the better thanks to the developers of 8 luxury properties on a relatively unknown South of the Highway cul-de-sac in Amagansett. 

Romaine Gordon of Saunders & Associates, the exclusive listing agent, has been ringing the news about this unique opportunity. “These houses are absolutely gorgeous and the cul-de-sac is a hidden gem. You are right in the heart of Amagansett, minutes to the ocean beaches and Amagansett village. Each property offers every amenity a buyer could want. To have something like this South of the Highway in Amagansett in this price range is really a special opportunity for buyers.” @hamptonsrealestate @romainehamptons

  • Sixty-Something: My Two Favorite Hamptons Movies and Book

Before there was easily accessible internet and various movie streaming networks, there was always the East Hampton Library – that beautiful historic building located on the corner of the beginning of Route 114 and intersecting Route 27. My first year as an east-end writer I actually composed all of my articles in the basement of that library. They had primitive internet access computers there.
