March Hamptons & North Fork Stats Percent Discount
Active listings increased to 1,402, with 198 new listings coming to market and 103 homes sold. A total of 385 homes went in-contract, while price changes rose to 197, reflecting continued pricing adjustments as inventory builds. Homes closed at a 4.52% discount from the last list price versus 7.22% from the original list price, showing sellers are getting closer to market value as pricing improves.
Inventory steadily increased throughout the month, climbing from 1,346 to 1,404, as new supply entered the market. Demand remains active, but buyers are becoming more selective as the spring season unfolds.
2020 - 2026 Supply V.S Demand
Coming into 2020 supply was strong at over 2,500 active listings but as COVID took hold you can clearly see active listings steadily shrinking through 2021 and into 2022. Supply gradually returned and has largely stayed within or just above this highlighted narrow range of 1,000 - 1,500 listings in recent years.
March Hamptons & North Fork Stats
New Listings
New listings showed a steady increase throughout March, rising from 24 to a peak of 43, before holding slightly lower at the end of the month. More sellers are entering the market to take advantage of increased buyer activity.
In Contract
In-Contract activity ranged from 21 to 29, with a brief rise mid-month. While activity remains steady, it has not accelerated at the same pace as new listings, suggesting buyers are approaching the market carefully as options expand.
Closed Sales
Closed sales ranged from 17 to 23 for most of the month, with one week at 21, indicating a steady flow of transactions. These figures reflect deals moving through from prior weeks, and with continued buyer activity, closed sales are expected to strengthen further in the coming weeks as more in-contracts reach completion.
Price Changes
Price adjustments rose to 53–54 mid-month before declining to 37 by the end of March. This suggests that some sellers adjusted expectations as competition increased. The late-month decline suggests some stabilization.
Inventory
Inventory increased from 1,346 to 1,409, as new listings outpaced the number of homes selling. While supply is growing, it remains within a balanced range, giving buyers more flexibility. However, it may also require sellers to be more competitive in terms of pricing.
