What Can You Get In The Hamptons For Under $1M Right Now? 10.06.2026

Brown Harris Stevens

Affordable options in the Hamptons haven’t disappeared, but you really have to hunt for them these days. Once summer fades and the crowds head home, you might think it’d get easier to buy a place under $1 million.

There’s a little less competition, sure—but that doesn’t mean there are more homes to choose from. Everyone hears about the jaw-dropping waterfront mansions or the latest record sale. But not every buyer is aiming that high.

If you stick to properties under $1 million, you’ll mostly find condos, small cottages, or houses that need a bit of fixing up. Nothing fancy, but a shot at getting your foot in the door.

Some of these homes are ready from day one. Others need work—sometimes a lot. Across the board, though, they’re rare. So when the price is right, people still rush in, even after summer’s over.

If you’re hoping to stop being just a weekend visitor, pick up a retreat, or finally get a piece of the Hamptons, these homes are proof it’s not impossible. The trick is knowing how—and where—to look.
