When billionaire Marc Rowan sold his 322 Meadow Lane home in the Hamptons at the beginning of this year for $28.5 million, he left the most expensive street in this part of the East End.

Southampton’ Meadow Lane is quite famous for attracting high-profile residents, mostly Wall Street financiers but celebrities as well, all looking for a posh place to cool off during the summer. So far, they have paid enough for Meadow Lane waterfront homes  to make the median sale price a whopping $17.6 million! And, according to Curbed Magazine, the trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

By Catalin —  January 9, 2012

2011 was anything but a banner year for real estate in America, and although many reports hailed the strength of the luxury real estate market, in many regions facts are hard to come by.

Long Island, Hamptons: Potential Deals Coming Up At the Auction

By calin —  September 16, 2010

Our attention was drawn by a Curbed Hamptons post on a $485,000 loss (over the previous purchase price) of a Montauk beach house. The property, located at 20 Gilbert Road, was reportedly bought in 2006 for $1.2 million, repossessed by the bank in April 2009, according to our records, and then sold at an online auction for $795,000.  The home was previously listed for sale for $864,000.
