The first of the real estate market reports for 2018 has arrived, from Town & Country. Compared to the same quarter in 2017, in...

This stunning property, repped by Gary DePersia at Corcoran, has had quite the history. First, let's go over the features. Of course, it's oceanfront on Old Montauk Highway, with gorgeous views. There's actually just over 4 acres of land, in two separate parcels, so subdivision would be possible, which includes 300 feet of oceanfront. All...

Headlines were made a couple months ago when it was reported that Academy Award-nominated actress Lorraine Bracco, best known for "Goodfellas" and "The Sopranos," was planning to sell her house on Lumber Lane. But though we combed through the listings every day, the house didn't appear. Took a while, but now it's here. All photos...

If anyone doubts that the Sag Harbor market is hot, hot, hot and the under $1 million market is even more intense, we present as evidence 95 Ridge Road West, Sag Harbor. (Technically it's in Noyac, but it's also quite close to the village and Foster Beach.) The property, which consists of a 1400 square foot, three bedroom, 2.5...

We're slightly surprised no one has snapped this Amagansett Dunes property up. It hit the market last September asking $2.525 million, which given all the great features it offers, we thought was a very fair price. Yes, it could use a new kitchen and some clever interior design (we'd like to see some funky design classics), but ...

As the home of a fashion designer, this property was always going to be gorgeous inside and out. But we think this house on Mecox Bay, owned by fashion designer Carmen Marc Valvo (best known for bridal and evening wear), may be a bit too individual for most people. The house, simple and pale on the inside (with what must be more...

We're thinking this might be something of interest to a real estate investor. It's fairly close to the bay, yet offers so much for $1.695 million. With 0.92 of an acre, there's a spacious house, a pool with brick patio, and even a tennis court. It's repped by Sharon Kerr at Corcoran. All photos via Corcoran The house, ...

Don't you hate when you run the largest Ponzi scheme in history and it all comes crashing down during a financial crisis and then the United States government seizes your beloved Montauk vacation home? Who doesn't? But especially Bernie Madoff. All photos by Chris Foster, courtesy Corcoran This house, oceanfront on Old Montauk...

At the end of January, political TV pundit George Stephanopoulos and actress Ali Wentworth relisted their attractive Southampton home. They'd put it on the market two years ago asking $7 million; in January we wrote "they're getting a bit more serious with an ask of $6 million." Well, that did the trick. The property is now...

This dwelling combines modern long, low lines with a slight Japanese feel to create one sexy house. Strangely, there isn't a pool, but with a two-acre plot, there's plenty of room for one. The good points of the house include the open plan living space with huge walls of glass, including scissored glass doors that fold away in the...

This oceanfront Montauk property is owned by art collector Adam Lindemann. When he purchased the nearby Eothen, Andy Warhol's old estate, in 2015, he put this place on the market asking $29.5 million. The price has been gradually dropping ever since then, and now is asking $20 million. Designed by starchitect David Adjaye, the...

Last summer, TV chef Rachael Ray put her Southampton home on the market. We liked the light, bright house, but were unsure about the asking price, which was $4.9 million. Now the ask has come down a tad to $4.69 million. The listing is now repped by Angela Boyer-Stump at Sotheby's. The renovated house is all one level, making...
