Summer 2023
An Open Letter
The Hamptons has been my home for over a decade. From owning my first home in East Hampton’s Northwest area to living seconds away from the bay in Sag Harbor. Every year, I watch as people from literally everywhere come to regale in the season that is known as summer in the Hamptons. White sand beaches, warm Atlantic water, and quality time spent with family and friends. It’s no wonder Fitzgerald wrote about this place so often and that Jackson Pollock called it home. For the third year in a row, I’m excited to share some of my favorite places with you via this Hamptons Summer Guide.
What has been most striking, from a Real Estate perspective, has been the maturation of Main Street in East Hampton as it’s turned itself into a veritable shopping mecca. Bernard Arnault’s purchase of the former Elie Tahari space at 1 Main Street has solidified the street as a legitimate commercial destination for highend retail. Maybe less surprising, though certainly as encouraging, has been the steady increase in value, year-over-year, not only in home values, but in short termrentals, as well. In the last two months our team has done $3M in rentals across the market, ranging from Ocean to Bay front. The Hamptons continues to show itself as a strong portfolio play. In this particular market, we’re seeing the effects of homeowners not being able to replicate their current situation due to high-interest rates causing a continued lack of inventory for buyers. My advice: stay patient. Sellers will eventually reduce prices as the market restabilizes itself and more inventory will come to market.

FOOD & DINING
Few things in our culture beckon us for connection the way a shared meal does. It’s when we share big news, catch up with old friends, and get together as families. The following are some of my favorites on the East End where I’ve made memories summer after summer.

“This summer we are seeing a continued interest in natural palettes, whether it is with materials such as light oak or travertine or simple, yet stunning fabrics that reflect light and make spaces sing with a brightened aura. The Hamptons are all about enjoying the sun while it shines, whether you are at the beach or in your living room; invite the light in using neutral and earthy textures. Or simply enjoy the sun outside. We are seeing more and more people show interest in redefining their outdoor space with high-end furniture, bringing the indoors out to truly enjoy summer for all it has to give!”
Jan George, Interior Designer www.jangeorge.com
