MORE SIZZLE IN THE HAMPTON'S REAL ESTATE MARKET!...HAMPTON'S MARKET REPORTS ARE SIZZLING! On July 14th I wrote a featured post regarding the unit sales we were witnessing in the month of June here in Southampton Village:SIMMERING SALES IN SOUTHAMPTON VILLAGE, NEW YORK!...An Update On Sales Here:

With most major real estate firms reporting their Hampton's Q2 results for 2012, there is one good strong message: we are seeing a jump in sales that surprises even the most diligent market watchers for the second quarter of 2012! 

Miller Samuel is the accounting firm for Prudential Douglas Elliman and when they release their quarterly report on real estate sales, they are quoted as gospel for the Hamptons housing activity. Below is the link that will take you to the most recent release for second quarter of 2012 for Hamptons and the North Fork of Long Island.
