Hampton Bays, NY 11946
Hampton Bays is a hamlet in the Town of Southampton, between Shinnecock Bay and Peconic Bay, with its own LIRR station and the Shinnecock Canal. It has more year-round homes than most of the Hamptons, and some of the most accessible prices in the area.
Active residential listings in Hampton Bays per OneKey MLS, October 2026. Prices change weekly.
Most homes list above $1 million, but there are options below: condos, co-ops, and smaller homes away from the water. If your budget is lower, I’ll also show you nearby towns like Flanders, Riverhead, or East Quogue.
Taxes in the Town of Southampton tend to be lower than in much of western Long Island, but they depend on the home’s value and school district. Before you offer, we review each home’s tax bill together.
Hampton Bays is surrounded by water. Homes near the bay may be in a FEMA flood zone, and your lender may require flood insurance. We check before you make an offer so there are no surprises.
Beyond the down payment, buyers in the Hamptons usually pay the Community Preservation Fund tax (2% on the part of the price above the exemption) and, at $1 million or more, New York’s mansion tax (1%). Your attorney and lender will give you the exact numbers.

Areas I serve
I work out of East Quogue and help buyers across eastern and central Suffolk: from the coastal villages of the Hamptons to communities with more price options like Riverhead, Patchogue, and Brentwood. Every area has its own taxes, commute, and market pace, and I explain the differences so you choose with real information.

The consultation and your personalized list are free. Before touring homes, we sign a written agreement that explains how my compensation is paid. In many cases the seller covers it, but it is always negotiable and we discuss it up front.
It’s possible. Some lenders offer mortgage loans for ITIN holders, which usually require a larger down payment and a tax history. I can connect you with lenders who work with ITIN borrowers; approval always depends on the lender.
It depends on the loan type and your profile. Some programs allow less than 20% down, and you should also plan for closing costs. A lender can give you the exact number for your situation.
Yes. There are state and federal programs, such as those from SONYMA (State of New York Mortgage Agency) and FHA loans, and some offer down payment assistance. Requirements change, so I’ll connect you with a lender who can explain which ones apply to you.
The search depends on your budget and the market. Once your offer is accepted, closing in New York usually takes 60 to 90 days, although every case is different.
Yes. In New York it is customary for the buyer to have their own real estate attorney, who reviews the contract and represents you at closing. I can recommend trusted local attorneys.
Ideally, yes. Pre-approval tells you how much you can spend and makes your offers stronger. If you don’t have one yet, I’ll help you take that first step with a lender.
No. I help buyers in the Hamptons and throughout Suffolk County, from Southampton to Huntington Station.
As of October 2026, half of the homes for sale in Hampton Bays were listed under $1.3 million, and about 24 were under $1 million, including condos and co-ops. Waterfront homes cost considerably more. I’ll send you the options that fit your real budget.
It’s a 2% transfer tax the buyer pays when purchasing in the East End towns, including Southampton, on the part of the price above the exemption. Some first-time buyers qualify for exemptions. Your attorney will confirm what you owe.
