EAST END MARKET SNAPSHOT: 3Q 2026
“The East End market continued to demonstrate its strength in the third quarter, with sustained buyer demand and impressive price growth. On the South Fork, sales held steady year over year, while the median price climbed to a record $2.268 million, supported by strong activity at the luxury end of the market.
The North Fork also found its footing, posting its first increase in closings after two quarters of decline. While luxury sales helped drive a record average price, more were reported below $1 million, highlighting the diversity of today's buyer pool. The solid market activity, even with limited supply, continues to prove East End's unmistakable draw.” - Ernie Cervi, Regional SVP, East End

Why are the findings of The Corcoran Report different from other reports like MillerSamuel / Brown Harris Stevens / REBNY?
By and large, the essential message of the various reports is consistent. In some instances, the various market reports do not arrive at the same conclusions. The reason is that although there are a finite number of sales to be quantified, pinpointing that data set with perfect accuracy is impossible within the constraints of the report process.
The report timing is driven by an industry-wide timetable. Closings that take place in the last week of the quarter, for example, won’t reach the public record in time to be present in the report’s data set. Additionally, Corcoran might know about a closing late in the quarter that does not reach competitors in time for inclusion, or vice versa.
As the data sets diverge, the results start to drift apart. In addition, reports can also differ based on methodology. For example, how inventory should be counted is debatable. Corcoran does not include “shadow inventory” – new development properties constructed but not yet available for sale – in our inventory figure, but others may.
As a result of these factors, all reports have a small margin of error of +/-3%. Rest assured, the sales data that we use for the quarter delivers an accurate approximation of what happened. If clients ask about discrepancies, you can simply note that it is due to timing and differences in methodology.
