Douglas Elliman Releases 2Q 2013 Market Reports For Long Island, Hamptons And North Fork

NEW YORK, July 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Douglas Elliman released their 2Q 2013 Market Reports for Long Island, the Hamptons and the North Fork.  All three reports show a trend of a quickened sales pace, falling inventory and high median sales prices.

"Long Island is hot, with home sales surging," said Dottie Herman, President and CEO of Douglas Elliman, New York's largest residential brokerage.  The region saw its fastest sales pace since 2005, with pending sales jumping, prices rising and a falling inventory. "From a big picture perspective, Long Island has emerged with great sales and rising prices in most of the communities."

"The Hamptons were also extremely strong, with the highest number sales since 2006. We've been paying attention to the top end of the market," said Jonathan Miller, President and CEO of Miller Samuel and the author of the report, "and now we are finally seeing the middle of the market show some strength.  What we saw this past quarter was that the $1 million to $5 million homes took off in a big, big way." Listing inventory in the Hamptons continued to fall, and sales achieved their second highest median price in five years. 

On the North Fork, housing prices were up across all segments, yet credit remained tight keeping inventory levels low.  There was a drop in marketing time, which also caused inventory to fall from year-ago levels.
