    Episode 269 - Vincent Horcasitas

    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.

    Episode 266 - John Healey

    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 uncertaintyWhy the East End remains one of the most consistent long-term luxury real estate investmentsHow seasonal rentals can often turn into future buyers when agents stay connectedWhy the “experience economy” helps explain the people who happily rent in the Hamptons year after year, instead of owningIf 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.

    Episode 265 - Jennifer Brew and Charlotte Sasso

    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.
