The transfer data that comes out of the Suffolk County Clerk’s Office is organized by municipality. But there’s a world of difference between different neighborhoods on the East End, and particularly between South and North of the Highway, and Waterfront and Mainland properties.
We separate South of the Highway transfers from the rest of the data, and note which ones are waterfront. This is especially useful when trying to compare specialized listings, such as pondfront or oceanfront listings.
This data can be found nowhere else except wolfRE. To receive our unique reports and listings of interest in specialized areas, contact Phelan Wolf. If you are considering selling a property in one of our coverage areas, speak to Phelan about how his targeted mailing lists can help.

4th Quarter Reports and Media Coverage
All the 4th Quarter Reports are out and I am busy reading them for my quarterly review which will appear in the President’s Day Weekend edition of the East Hampton and Southampton Press.

We had a drop in upper-end sales activity.” Sounds right to me. Except in a few [...]

Financial Times on South of the Highway cost differential
In the view of the FT, The equation is simple: south of the highway your property is worth 50 per cent more than north. And every 50ft you creep towards the ocean, prepare to write a disproportionately larger cheque. Never seen those statistics before. I think they made them up.
