The rental market has been quiet after a couple of week-long spurts of activity earlier in 2022. With sales transactions continuing to impress, many landlords who typically rent their homes at reasonable prices for the marketplace, are left scratching their heads at few or no inquiries.
“We spent so much money on a rental last summer,” said one recent New York City clubgoer who makes documentaries for a living. “When we got there, there wasn’t really much going on and when we did go out, it was kind of weird,” he continued, leaving open the question, what will the Hamptons be like this summer?
A recent Hamptons Market Data Instagram poll revealed that Hamptonites are looking forward to making plans at home with friends just as much as they are to making plans to go out. Thirty-eight percent of respondents were looking forward to being out and about, but they were still not sure what those plans would be, while 14% reported their calendars were already or almost full.
There are some newsworthy restaurants opening this season, a new brewery in Sag Harbor, charitable organizations that typically host summer events in the Hamptons are back in person, and when analyzing recent rental and sales market data, it appears there will be more homeowners in town than tenants, giving local businesses an opportunity to create lifetime value customers.
FOMO could very well return to the Hamptons in summer 2022, but ultimately, New York’s luxury beach towns will be what the residents and businesses here make of them.
There are some new last-minute summer rentals and a few price reductions just hit the rental market, so if you’re interested in visiting the Hamptons this summer, check out some of these new and time-tested hotspots as well as some now available summer rentals.
