Investing For Fun And Profit In The Hamptons

Chris Hall by Chris Hall
February 23, 2015

Home Real Estate

The high end Hamptons real estate market continues to thrive. For many years, it was normal for houses in our area to increase in value beyond reason. The data backs up the fact that things are quickly returning back to the normal that was never really normal. There were 472 closed home sales in the Hamptons in Q1 2017, an 8 percent increase from the 437 sales in Q1 2016, according to a report from Douglas Elliman Real Estate and Miller Samuel appraisal firm. The median price of first quarter home sales in the Hamptons was up by 11.2 percent, rising from $895,000 in Q1 2016 to $995,000 in the first quarter of this year.

But, the median sales price of a Sagaponack home isn’t the data that I rely upon. More often than ever, high end buyers are coming to us to improve their property in significant ways. New home owners and owners of recently built homes are adding pergolas, spas, outdoor kitchens, pool houses, and building gunite pools (or removing existing vinyl or gunite pools to build larger ones). Getting to know our clients help us fulfill our responsibility to deliver excellence. We present many wonderful options and it leads to highly detailed discussions. Not only is it important to learn what the client wants, why they want it, and when they want it; it can also be incredibly important to find out why the upgrade is taking place at that particular time.

Adding to the amenities that you will enjoy at your home is definitely a smart move at the moment. Renovations, restoration, and upgrades are happening now, as some investors have taken profits from the market and reinvested them in the backyard. A shifting of assets, a wise investment, or the practicality of enjoying the passive increase in the value of your Hamptons home is more than a trend. Of course, there are those that simply have the means to enjoy the fruits of their labor without the deep thought of yet another investment. Sometimes, it’s just fun to sit out by your new pool, relax under the pergola’s ceiling fan on a warm summer night (without figuring out the ROI).

Landscape architects, interior designers, pool builders, and most of us in the luxury services field, are thrilled to have the privilege of doing something special. We have been working all of our lives to master our craft. The great achievement of imagining, envisioning, enhancing, improving, building, and creating breathtaking backyards comes from a very special partnership we have with our clients.

  • Interview: “Ragtime” Director Will Pomerantz Talks Musicals, and Bay Street Theater

Bay Street Theater is presenting the Musical Ragtime August 2nd through August 28th.

Why is RAGTIME so relevant now?

Sadly, I would say that RAGTIME is even more relevant now than when it was first produced in 1997. The issues it examines – the role of race in our country’s history, the role of immigrants, and the struggle for women to achieve equality – are powerfully resonant today, and demand deep reflection and examination. And the fact that such issues are dealt with through storylines featuring richly drawn characters and writing of such high quality, makes it even more imperative to produce this wonderful show now. @baystreettheater

  • Sixty-Something: It’s “Prime Time” in the Hamptons

It’s “Prime Time” in the Hamptons. This is what east end summer is all about. We are now at the stage of the summer season when folks are willing to pay premium prices to rent homes.
