The Hamptons is one the world’s most exclusive seaside resorts — and the ultimate playground of the rich and famous. In addition to its lush greenery and opulent vacation homes, the area is dotted with private beaches on the Atlantic coast, stretching from Southampton to East Hampton on New York’s Eastern Long Island.
The towns, hamlets and villages in this highly exclusive oasis are famed for their association with prominent figures such as former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and painter Jackson Pollock. What’s more, if location and accessibility are ever-paramount selling points, then the easy commute to the Hamptons from New York City — via public or private transportation — certainly satisfies that criteria.
This ideal location — coupled with amenities like panoramic ocean views, infinity pools and private golf courses — might cause you to believe that those who can afford to buy a home here would jump at the opportunity. However, our findings show that the majority of buyers shy away from splurging. In fact, homes sold below the asking prices in nine of the 10 most expensive residential sales of 2019. Keep reading for details about each of these sales in the legendary leisure hub.

#10. Historic Normandy House Sells for $2.9 Million Below Asking Price After Years of Price Changes
This historic, French chateau-style estate on the waterfront of Southampton Village’s Lake Agawam was initially listed at $24.9 million, but sold in October 2019 for $22 million — nearly $3 million below asking price. Architects Henry M. Polhemus and Lewis Augustus Coffin Jr. of New York’s prestigious Polhemus & Coffin designed the property, which was built in 1925 and once called “Chateau O’Brien” for its then-owner, attorney Kenneth O’Brien.
The home was renovated throughout 15 months by architect Oliver Cope and builder Ed Bulgin. It boasts 400 feet of water-frontage visible from the home’s majestic entry foyer and all main rooms, a waterfront pool with terraces, outdoor living spaces and a new tennis court. The lavish interiors were designed and decorated by Tony Ingrao and the gardens’ enormous lawns by landscape architect Edmund Hollander. Also, on the property is a guest cottage with its own sitting room, a staff wing, a full kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a pool house with an additional bathroom and lounge. The main home has five bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a waterfront view, and a private balcony/terrace overlooking the lawns, lake, and gardens.

#8.Media Mogul’s Water Mill Home Sells After Sales Price Drops $7.5 Million in Three Years
The home of prolific businessman James Mooney was first put on the market in December 2014 for $35 million, making the list of the most expensive homes for sale in the Hamptons at the time. By 2019, it was reduced to a final $27.5 million asking price and sold for $24.5 million in December — $3 million below the final asking price and a remarkable $10.5 million below its initial listing price. Justifying the steep initial price was the fact that this home not only features 360-degree panoramic views from the Atlantic Ocean to Jules Pond, but it’s also one of the only eight properties that share a one-mile stretch of pristine sandy beach.
Designed to make the most of its waterfront location, the bedrooms have circular, glass-encased designs, and all the principal rooms have beach-side terraces with ocean, dune, and pond views.
