Douglas Elliman Releases Q1 2020 Hamptons Sales Report

After noticeably stronger results in the first two and a half months in the Hamptons, listing inventory growth slowed as market awareness of Coronavirus occurred in mid-March. Listing inventory fell sharply, and sales jumped year over year for the second straight quarter. The market saw the most significant listing discount in eight and a half years as sellers were more willing to travel farther to meet the buyers on price.

The Numbers: Average sales price in the Hamptons for Q1-2020 was $2,124,336 – representing a 25.5% increase over Q1-2019 average sales price ($1,692,648). Median sales price for Q1-2020 was $990,000, a 16.5% increase over Q1-2019 median sales price ($850,000).

Listing Inventory in the Hamptons was down 19.9% in Q1-2020 (1,929) vs. Q1-2019 (2,407).
