Hamptons market report: prices went up, sales went down

The Hamptons’ sales volume in the first quarter of 2017 was down more than 27 percent compared to the same period last year, according to Town & Country data. The number of sales also decreased by 22 percent, with just 269 homes sold. Prices, though, remained on an upward trajectory. The median sale price was just over $1.1 million this quarter — a 13 percent increase compared to the first quarter of 2016. Let’s hope the dry spell doesn’t last. [Curbed]
