October brings us deep into the Fall season—a favorite time of year for me here as the area transitions to a majestic bouquet of color in the most local places. Admiring your own haven is as simple as picking up a good read and enjoying the comforts of your own back yard or front porch. I love researching, traveling and experiencing new, old and favorite places that don't require lots of travel time. Life is too short. Keep watch for them on my blog and/or Instagram account where I love to share such finds.
Read on for seasonal ideas and discover lifestyle tips to enjoy all that October offers!.
Wishes to you for a most colorful, healthy, happy and peaceful time
of year here in the Hamptons

What 's happening with the market?
|
|
It is what is on everyone's mind.
If only I had a dollar for every time I was asked that question...oh, boy!
Many differing viewpoints on this matter. Time will tell but I don't foresee a crash like what was experienced in 2008. What I do see is a RE market down in some areas by about 25-35% compared to 2021, the height of Covid. It has returned to what Hampton's real estate was pre Covid: quiet summers with an uptick in early Fall; quiet again throughout end of year when folks are busy preparing for festivities and family gatherings; post holidays, this unique Hamptons market turns back on as summer is on everyone's mind and the desire to secure a summer destination place grows.
Home sales have returned to taking weeks and/or months,
not hours or days, to sell like in the Covid buying frenzy. List prices have cooled with negotiability remaining neutral during September. Slight negotiability decrease is seen in October as Sellers are recognizing price corrections. Rates, while rising (hovering around/about 7%) are hardly the high, double digits of years ago.
The desirability of the Hamptons maintains the value of the market. With inventory returning, there are some great properties to consider.
Whether you are looking for purchase or perhaps even rentals,
(we have great full year and seasonal rentals available) please, let's start a conversation.
Enjoy all that this beautiful season offers and FALL in love!

Anyone who knows me knows of my passion for both bees and bats! Believe it or not, many of the foods (think chocolate) found on grocery store shelves and in kitchen pantries are products of bats’ interactions with nature. Learn more here about these misunderstood, impressive, night time pollinators that are integral to world health and our economy. Building or investing in a bat house will result in your doing something great not only for your yard, (ridding it of mosquitos) but for the world.

What You Should Be Planting in the Fall
This may be a little known fact, but fall is the key planting time for a beautiful garden. It's also the key time to give your plants one last manicure before winter sets in. Now that summer's heat is cooling off, it's time for you to switch out your summer annuals for fall appropriate annuals and plant spring bulbs before the first frost.
