August 6, 2026 | Discussing Hidden Communities In The Hamptons
Jackie Lowey joins us during one of the busiest stretches of the Hamptons summer to talk rentals, real estate, and what happens when August suddenly feels like it arrived overnight. We look at July versus August demand, last-minute rentals and extensions, and what it actually takes to turn around a lease quickly when time matters.
We also dig into something that doesn’t always translate through an online listing: the Hamptons’ many micro-communities. Jackie shares how amenities like community tennis, bay beach access, and private neighborhood settings can shape both lifestyle and value.
Plus, we break down the latest Hamptons real estate market stats, including contracts, new listings, and overall inventory. We wrap with what’s happening around town, from East Hampton Library’s Authors Night to restaurant talk and a little appreciation for the East End community at the height of summer.

July 30, 2026 | Discussing Upcoming Real Estate Opportunities in Quogue
The Hamptons can feel like two summers at once: the one you planned for, and the one that’s already sprinting toward August. This week, we are joined by the Julie Crowley Team and to break down what’s happening right now across the Hamptons real estate market, from new listings and “coming soon” opportunities to the weekly contract numbers that show just how fast properly priced homes can move.
We spotlight a standout East Quogue property at 9 Walker Court, a newer home that checks the lifestyle boxes buyers keep asking for: radiant heat, smart features, a pool, open-concept living, and even bay access via an easement down to the creek. We also talk about the East Quogue and Quogue “brand” as a quieter, easier alternative that still keeps you close to beaches, marinas, village shopping, and the Jitney. If you’ve ever driven past an exit because it didn’t say “Hamptons,” this part is for you.
Then we get concrete with market data and strategy. This week shows 31 contracts from Westhampton to Montauk and roughly $167M in dollar volume, with new listings and in-contract activity keeping overall inventory tight. That tightness doesn’t give sellers a free pass to overprice, though. We explain why today’s comp-savvy buyers often wait for the price to land in the right zone, and how too much time spent on the market can create the wrong story even when the house is great. We also connect the dots between a hot rental season and the steady pipeline of renters who decide it’s time to buy.
We wrap with an East End weekend guide, including Stone Creek Inn’s anniversary and Monday special, DJ nights at The Clubhouse, East Hampton Library Author’s Night, Montauk options, and the local fire department carnival.

July 23, 2026 | Discussing Hero Volley and Montauk Real Estate
We’re joined by a packed group, including Josh Brussel and the Jennifer Wilson Team, to preview Hero Valley’s Montauk beach volleyball week, bringing Olympic and pro athletes to town with free public events, music, food, and an up-close chance to meet the players.
We dig into the mission behind it: raising money for East Hampton’s Junior Lifeguard program and supporting the next generation of strong ocean swimmers. Josh also breaks down the clinics, the welcome party, and the Pro-Am tournament format, where locals, lifeguards, and visiting talent share the sand.
Then we switch gears to the Hamptons Real Estate Market Report data for the week of July 14, 2026. We spotlight a Montauk opportunity at 64 Fairview Avenue with a price reduction to $1,495,000, discuss what “entry level” really means in Montauk, and share a weekly market snapshot from Westhampton to Montauk including new listings, homes in contract, dollar volume, and why the $1M to $2M band stays so competitive.

July 16, 2026 | Discussing The New Wave Of Buyers In The Hamptons
This week, we are welcomed by top-producing agents, Patty Oakley and Brian Leicht of The Oakley-Leicht Team at Saunders & Associates.
The Hamptons real estate market is seeing a noticeable mid-July second wave, with open houses getting busier, new offers coming in, and summer renters reconsidering whether it may be time to buy. As more buyers spend time on the East End, urgency is returning—and well-priced homes are getting attention.
This week, we break down the latest Hamptons market activity, highlight standout listings in Water Mill and Bridgehampton, examine why strategic price reductions matter, and share fresh contract and sales-volume data. We also look at the $3 million to $5 million price range, where much of the current activity is concentrated, before rounding up some of the best East End events, restaurants, and casual dining spots for a peak-season weekend.
In this episode:
- Why Hamptons open houses are seeing more traffic and offers
- How mid-July brings new buyers and renewed market urgency
- What stands out about 14 Wood Edge Court in Water Mill
- A coming-soon Bridgehampton new construction home designed with a custom feel
- The price reduction at 125 Laurel Valley—and why even a small adjustment can make a difference
- Why sellers benefit from listening to experienced Hamptons real estate agents on pricing strategy
- The latest weekly contracts and dollar-volume numbers

July 9, 2026 | Discussing The Active Hamptons Rental Market
This week on Happening in the Hamptons, we’re joined by Vincent Horcasitas, one of the most active brokers on the East End, who has already reached 84 transactions by July and expects to surpass 100 this year. Vince breaks down what that pace really requires, why the Hamptons rental market is surging, and how high interest rates, changing travel habits, and buyer caution are pushing more people toward renting instead of purchasing.
We also take a closer look at the luxury Hamptons real estate market, where the high end is gaining momentum again. Vince shares what he is seeing with $20M-plus properties going into contract before completion, why buyers are touring during construction, and what makes a new build stand out in markets like Sagaponack, Bridgehampton South, Wainscott, and Sag Harbor. The conversation also gets practical, covering open house strategy, consistent weekend access, staging, and why presentation can completely change how buyers experience large modern homes.
To round out the episode, we review the latest Hamptons real estate market numbers, including listings in contract, dollar volume, new inventory, and the price bands seeing the most activity, especially the $3M to $5M range. And because it’s summer on the East End, we close with weekend picks from Stephen Talkhouse shows to Guild Hall events and a restaurant recommendation worth adding to your list.
Topics include Hamptons real estate, East End rentals, luxury new construction, Sagaponack, Bridgehampton, Wainscott, Sag Harbor, and summer events.

July 2, 2026 | Discussing Spotlight Magazine's 5th Anniversary and the July 4th Weekend
This week, as we prepare for July 4th Weekend in the Hamptons, we are joined by Sydney Sadick, founder of Spotlight Magazine, to celebrate five years of building a community-first Hamptons publication that still feels fresh in an Instagram and TikTok world. Sydney shares why she launched Spotlight after years in luxury media, how she thinks about quality and credibility in print, and what it takes to land cover stars who genuinely represent the local scene, including Brooke Shields on the anniversary cover. We also talk luxury lifestyle trends, brand pop-ups, and why some iconic names feel like “everyday” brands in Europe but a true splurge in the U.S.
Then we shift into our weekly Hamptons real estate market update with the latest contracts, new listings, and inventory, followed by a practical holiday weekend guide: Southampton Village parade timing, where to grab fireworks info, and what’s on around Montauk, East Hampton, and Westhampton Beach. You’ll also hear a few local favorites, from free concerts in the park to restaurant picks when you want great food and the right summer energy.
We make it simple and fun: what to do, where to go, and how to enjoy the East End without wasting half the day figuring it out.

June 18, 2026 | Discussing How The US Open Impacted the Hamptons Real Estate Market with John Healey
It’s U.S. Open Championship week in the Hamptons, with Shinnecock Hills once again putting Southampton at the center of the golf world. And, naturally, the Hamptons know how to host — even at this scale. This week, we are joined by returning guest and veteran Hamptons real estate agent John Healey for a timely conversation on the U.S. Open, Southampton rentals, and the state of the East End real estate market.
We kick off with what we’re seeing on the ground in Southampton, Bridgehampton, and beyond, then get into the question everyone asked leading up to tournament week: did the U.S. Open actually send the Hamptons rental market into overdrive, or was most of that demand already locked up long before the first tee time at Shinnecock Hills?
In this episode, we take a closer look at what continues to drive the Hamptons real estate market, from long-term investment confidence to the rental culture that keeps people coming back year after year.
We discuss:
- How the Hamptons real estate market continues to hold steady despite interest rate hikes, inflation concerns, and global uncertainty
- Why the East End remains one of the most consistent long-term luxury real estate investments
- How seasonal rentals can often turn into future buyers when agents stay connected
- Why the “experience economy” helps explain the people who happily rent in the Hamptons year after year, instead of owning
If you have ever wondered whether owning property in the Hamptons is not only a lifestyle decision but an asset you can actually live in, this conversation brings both the logic and the nuance.
We also spotlight a specific Southampton Village opportunity at 220 Elm Street, including what makes a classic village property worth renovating rather than tearing down, and why location, scale, and potential still matter in a market that often favors new construction.
Weekly Hamptons Real Estate Data from Saunders & Associates:
32 listings went into contract, representing $126M in dollar volume, alongside 35 new listings. We also break down what the latest $3M to $5M activity says about buyer demand, pricing confidence, and the continued preference for turnkey or newly built homes.
We wrap with our summer Hamptons real estate forecast, the real impact of permitting and certificate of occupancy delays, and a quick look at East End weekend events to keep on your radar.

June 11, 2026 | Discussing The New York Knicks and The Hamptons Community
There is a certain momentum that takes over New York when the Knicks are winning, and that energy has a way of reaching the East End. We open the episode with a look at how a playoff run can become part of the broader civic mood, showing up in watch parties, downtown conversations, and the shared rituals that make the Hamptons feel connected well beyond the summer season.
The LVIS Fair in Amagansett
Charlotte Sasso and Jennifer Brew join the show to spotlight the LVIS Fair in Amagansett, one of the East End’s most beloved annual events. The free, family-friendly fair features pony rides, a petting zoo, shopping booths, food, and a silent auction with hundreds of prizes.
We also discuss the larger mission of LVIS, from funding annual college scholarships for East Hampton students to maintaining local trees, public spaces, and one of the most talked-about thrift shops on the East End.
Hamptons Real Estate and Market Insight
The conversation then turns to Hamptons real estate with a look at 172 Old Northwest Road in East Hampton, a modern net-zero home with solar, geothermal systems, nine bedrooms, room for tennis, and a level of finish that stands out in the current market.
Steve Glick breaks down the latest Hamptons market stats, including new listings, inventory trends, buyer activity, and what we are seeing in the summer rental market as more people head east.
Summer Logistics, Listing Strategy, and Local Recommendations
We also cover U.S. Open golf week traffic, why the train may be the smartest way to travel, and why now is an important time to capture photography and video for anyone considering a fall listing.

June 4, 2026 | Discussing What Really Builds A Real Estate Career
The Hamptons real estate market is heading into peak summer with real momentum. We are joined by Maria Markovic for a smart, honest conversation about building a long-term career in real estate. Maria shares how starting as an administrator gave her a deep understanding of contracts, paperwork, and the rhythm of a deal; why mentorship made a major difference; and how she stays grounded when the stakes get high.
We break down what the latest weekly numbers say about buyer demand, where activity is strongest, and how agents, buyers, and sellers should be thinking about inventory in Southampton, East Hampton, and across the Hamptons real estate market.

May 28, 2026 | Discussing Hard Work, Persistence & Success
Real estate rewards persistence, but it rarely moves in a straight line. Elliot Pegg and Vince Horcasitas join Steve Glick and Dave Rattiner for a candid conversation about building a career in the business, from the early years of hard work and patience to the momentum that comes when experience, relationships, and consistency begin to pay off.
From there, we break down what actually creates traction in the Hamptons real estate market. Elliot shares how open houses, constant walkthroughs, and being put on the spot in team meetings sharpen his inventory knowledge so he can answer buyer questions instantly. Vince explains the athlete mindset behind consistent sales performance: accept defeat fast, learn from it, and keep putting opportunities into play until something sticks. If you care about sales skills, luxury real estate, or how to succeed as a new real estate agent, the takeaways are practical and blunt.
We also zoom out to the East End market report, including this week’s contracts, dollar volume, and rising inventory, plus a look at the Hamptons rental market as summer ramps up. With rentals up big and the US Open coming to Southampton, we talk about what demand might really do and whether last-minute bookings could surge. We wrap with a standout Sag Harbor listing featuring pool and tennis, new Fresh Pond Road listings, and a quick weekend events guide.

May 21, 2026 - Discussing Memorial Day Weekend In The Hamptons
Memorial Day weekend doesn’t “start” in the Hamptons so much as it snaps on, like someone flipped a switch. One day you’re watching empty beaches on the live cams, the next day the sand is full, the Village shops are open, and everyone is back on the East End.
This week on the Happening in the Hamptons podcast, we discuss Memorial Day Weekend in the Hamptons to ground a practical conversation about the Hamptons real estate market, Hamptons rentals, and what the first big holiday weekend signals for the Summer season ahead.
We’re joined by East Hampton’s own Sarah Minardi to talk local flavor and real community news, including the East Hampton school bond approval for a new indoor pool and field house with shared community use.
We explore what many people want to know right now: Is it too late to find a summer rental? Sarah breaks down why the rental market is up year over year while inventory remains surprisingly active, thanks in part to homeowners who bought during COVID and are now putting their homes into the rental pool.
We highlight two very different rental experiences, including a concierge-supported cottage next to the newly renovated Hedges Inn in East Hampton Village and a Montauk Hither Hills home built around ocean views and easy beach access.
We explore the Hamptons Real Estate Market Report Q1 2026 from Saunders & Associates to run the weekly numbers, dig into Q1 trends where median prices rise while sales fall, and wrap with a Memorial Day weekend guide to events, food, and places worth getting excited about.
Big thanks to our sponsor, New York Title Abstract.

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.

Discussing the Importance of Maintaining Relationships
The Hamptons can feel like a world-famous destination, but the way business works out here is pure small town: everyone’s connected, word travels fast, and your reputation is the real asset you can’t afford to gamble with. We start with a story about losing a listing, staying respectful anyway, and watching the relationship come back around, a reminder that “don’t burn bridges” isn’t just good manners, it’s smart real estate strategy.
Then we get into the fun part: new construction and standout listings that are ready for summer. We spotlight a Southampton Village home at109 David Whites Lane that’s beautifully built, walkable to the village, and somehow fits seven ensuite bedrooms into 4,200 square feet, plus entertaining-friendly outdoor spaces. We also run through multiple turnkey builds in Bridgehampton and Southampton, packed with the amenities buyers keep asking for right now: gunite pools, outdoor kitchens, theaters, saunas, cold plunges, and furnished options that make moving in feel effortless.
To ground it all, we share this week’s Hamptons real estate market numbers including deals in contract, dollar volume, and the steady flow of new inventory as Memorial Day approaches. And because the East End isn’t only about houses, we wrap with Mother’s Day weekend restaurant specials and events across Montauk, Shelter Island, and Sag Harbor.

April 30, 2026 - Discussing Should You Buy or Should You Rent in the Hamptons
A $100,000 summer rental can disappear in six weeks, but that same $100,000 can also change what you can afford forever. We dig into the Hamptons buy vs rent decision the way real clients actually face it: comparing a home for sale against a home for rent, weighing lifestyle against long-term wealth, and asking the uncomfortable question of how much you need to use a place for ownership to make sense.
We also talk about what makes the Hamptons unique: every town and pocket lives differently. Do you want beach access, village energy, bay sunsets, or quiet woods? Renting can be a smart “test drive” if you are unsure, but buying starts to look like a slam dunk when you know your spot and plan to hold for years. One of our favorite frames is the fixed-rate mortgage “time travel” effect: locking a key cost while rents and everyday expenses rise, turning today’s payment into tomorrow’s bargain.
Then we shift to the market and what’s happening now. We spotlight a featured listing at 578 Stephen Hands Path with both sale and summer rental options, share this week’s Hamptons stats on deals in contract, dollar volume, new listings, and inventory, and close with weekend picks from a psychic medium to live comedy, spring markets, a museum opening, and Long Island Restaurant Week. If this helped you think clearer about buying, renting, or timing your move, subscribe, share this with a friend debating the Hamptons, and leave us a review. What’s your biggest hang-up: price, location, or how often you’d really use the house?
