The race to secure a Hamptons home for the summer has started early this year - leading realtors to warn beachgoers to brace for soaring prices.
Presidents Day weekend typically marks the start of the boom in ritzy beach towns' home markets - but this year the rush started soon after the New Year, local real estate agents told Mansion Global Sunday.
Hamptons home sales have skyrocketed since the pandemic, and demand for the properties show no signs of slowing.
Realtors have attributed the rise to recent global unrest - such as the war in Gaza - and said it has led many well-heeled buyers and renters to trade their typical overseas hangs for more domestic spots.
