“Fourth Quarter 2025 reinforced the strength and stability of the East End market. The South Fork saw record pricing and a meaningful lift in sales volume, supported by strong activity in Amagansett, even as overall closings held steady. Meanwhile, the North Fork reported increases in transactions and median price, reflecting steady demand across several key hamlets. With East End inventory at its lowest level on record, well‑priced homes continue to attract strong interest as we head into the new year.”
