Hamptons summer rental market already going strong 

It might still be ski season, but the summer rental market is off to an early, strong in the Hamptons. On Long Island’s East End, in Amagansett, rentals are already 50 percent filled, the Wall Street Journal reported. By early January, Town & Country Real Estate’s Bridgehampton office had already leased 20 homes, many in the $300,000 to $400,000 range. Judi Desiderio, the brokerage’s president, said the hottest areas are Westhampton Beach, Southampton, East Hampton, and Sagaponack.
