• Hamptons Real Estate Market Data – Week of 9/29/2026 (hamptons.com) — Montauk homeowners and buyers are part of a Hamptons market that saw 32 properties go into contract from Westhampton to Montauk last week, a notable drop from the same week in 2025. Dollar volume also fell year over year, even as overall inventory in the region ticked up slightly, offering more options but signaling a cooler pace of deals.
