“Spring is typically a busy season when it comes to real estate,” said Dee Kerrigan Perfido of Kerrigan Country Realty. “It is a time when more properties become available and when buyers are most active.”
Those looking to make the move to the East End, take notice. The 7th Annual Long Island and Queens Realtor® Open House Weekend, hosted by the Long Island Board of Realtors®, Inc. (LIBOR), will be held on Saturday, April 9th and Sunday, April 10th. Locally, Compass East Realty and Ponquogue Point Properties Inc. in Hampton Bays, and Island Polo Realty and Kerrigan Country Realty in Westhampton Beach are participating in the Open House Weekend. “Open houses are a key to success in the spring market, and are a boost to spring home-buying activity,” noted Kerrigan Perfido. “To celebrate spring and kick-off the season, Realtors® throughout the Greater Westhampton Beach Area are taking part in Realtor® Open House Weekend.”
Finding the home of your dreams can be a daunting, drawn out experience, but 87 percent of U.S. households believe homeownership is part of their American Dream, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). The event will allow potential buyers to pick the brains of local experts about the market, and the buying and selling process. Throughout the two day event, thousands of open houses will take place through Nassau, Suffolk, and Queens.
“This event truly marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring for real estate sales in all our communities. Buyers and Sellers agree this event is a wonderful opportunity to promote and engage home sales and purchase across Long Island and Queens,” said Mary Alice Ruppert, LIBOR President. “Our Realtor® members devote a great deal of energy and promotion to this weekend-long event, to facilitate bringing potential buyers and sellers together.” For first time buyers, the event may assist with figuring out a wish list and what’s essential in a home. “This is the single largest Realtor®/Consumer event in our area that allows potential buyers to engage experienced professionals to assist them with their dream of homeownership,” added Ruppert.

Hamptons Real Estate Firms Taking Part In Open House Weekend

Luxury of Restraint: Inside the Quiet Confidence of STUDIOBKM’s Aesthetic
I first noticed 55 Wickatuck Drive in Sag Harbor because the gorgeously redesigned home had a real point of view—calm, edited, and quietly specific. That is, it felt like a home, not a project. The styling is intentional without feeling staged: elevated finishes, relaxed coastal ease, a level of cohesion that shows someone cared about the home’s full experience, not just the high-impact moments.
Even after the home sold, something about the property stayed with me. Luckily for me, the real estate agent who sold the property, Sarah Doud, picks up her phone when I call (to be fair, she would probably answer your call, too). She told me the renovation and interiors were designed by STUDIOBKM and Brian K. Mims, a studio approach centered on luxury that simplifies living rather than complicating it. The spaces feel restorative, considered, and durable enough to handle real life in the Hamptons: sandy feet, wet dogs, last-minute guests, all of it.

From Rosé to a Lifestyle Collective: Jesse Bongiovi on Building Lily Pond Group
When Jesse Bongiovi launched Hampton Water Wine Co. with his dad, Jon Bon Jovi, in 2018, he helped redefine what modern rosé could look and feel like—sun-soaked, effortless, and rooted in moments shared with the people you love.
Now, with the growth of Lily Pond Group, he’s expanding that vision far beyond the bottle. Influenced by years spent in the Hamptons’ uniquely relaxed and refined culture, Jesse’s approach to brand-building is all about capturing a feeling: the blend of ease, taste, and connection that defines a perfect summer day out East.
