We keep hearing whispers that the overheated Sag Harbor market is cooling–but it doesn’t seem so at least when it comes to the lower end, anyway. These three properties clicked into contract in record time. Remember the Million-Dollar Teardown? We hope so, since we posted about it on March 5. It’s in contract after less…

What does our panel of real estate experts love about autumn in the Hamptons? What do they miss about summer?

This is a very interesting house, designed by architect Kevin O’Sullivan, in northern Amagansett. It’s a new build that combines iconic midcentury modern style with the best of today’s technology, such as the glass wall that opens to the pool area. And the jaws of Mad Men-era folks would have dropped at the amazing 58′ infinity…
