Welcome And New Season Kickoff
Steve GlickAll right, good morning, everybody. It's Thursday, November 5th. I'm Steve Glick, and it's time for the Happening in the Hamptons podcast, our weekly breakdown of the Hamptons Market, new listings and events on the East End. We're sponsored always by New York Title Abstract, the Hamptons leading title insurance firm. Visit NewYorkTitle.com. Along with me today is my co-host, Dave Rattiner. And welcome, new host, David Andrews from Hamptons.com. We have Sarah Doud and our has an agent, Andrew Doud. Yes, I said that correctly. An agent, not a host. We have Andrew Doud here on the podcast. And Andrew, let's just get right into it. Well, first of all, the elephant in the room.
Andrew DoudWhat a what a weird feeling to be on this side of the table today. I mean, and and being, you know, the first it's great to be the first guest of the new season. It's great to be back. Yeah, right.
Steve GlickSo tell
From Marketing To Selling Homes
Steve GlickTell us what happened. So you're you're working for the marketing department, and you've decided you're gonna sell real estate.
Andrew DoudYeah, so for 10 years, I mean, gosh, it was 10 years goes by in the blink of an eye. And I still remember moving up here and talking to Andrew and Colleen and forever grateful for the opportunity to show them what I could do. the idea of video was just getting started, I think, in the Hamptons. And true to form, Saunders was ahead of the curve. They saw the need, they saw that the market could really use drone and video and in walks myself and Sarah. And uh, you know, I'm like, hey, listen, let me let me show you what I can do. And they were like, okay, let's do 10 projects, and then it was 10 more. And then it was, you know what? Why don't you come work for us in marketing? And that was that was 10 years ago. So we were able to build the video department from the ground up through great support from you guys. I mean, you always gave me everything I needed computers, drones, cameras. I mean, we were always trying to reinvent and stay ahead of everybody. Podcast gear, podcast gear.
Steve GlickYeah, I was just gonna say to run down the things that we introduced since you've been working at Saunders, the video department just exploded. You know, every property now is looking for a video. Agent profile videos were a thing, even having you host a TV show. We had the happening in the Hamptons show. You were a host of what winning. What's that? Bringing in bringing in the early days. You were doing open open house Hamptons, you know, touring the Hamptons homes.
Andrew DoudFacebook Live for everyone Facebook Live was a thing. Um that was that was a thing. Everything had, you know, things would come and go, and we were always trying to figure out what worked, but the constant was always video. And I remember when we first moved up here, my plan was to start like my own video marketing company, and I had it like labeled as Dow Digital, and I was gonna go to local businesses and and say, like, let me produce videos for your websites, for your busy within. But I was well, no, and that was how it started, and there were so many people that were like, but why do I need that? And then I walked in to Saunders and they're like, Oh, this is very obvious why we could use that, you know. Like, thank you for seeing the writing on the wall. And now it's like you can't do business without having video in some capacity. so and it's gotten, you know, it's like it's you know, the the the home tours, which were something that agents could kind of request, are now like the bare minimum. It's like every list. It's pretty wild, and it's really cool.
Dave RattinerIt's a basic thing, but you need you need the video, but now you need social media. And what's interesting about you and Sarah is you guys, because of your background in TV, you're experts on social media almost like by default. Watching your social media videos is like watching a fully produced video. Well, thank you. Thank you. Welcome.
Sarah DoudUm, and I'll say I mean it's enjoyable too. Like you're you are very good at it, but you enjoy doing it. Same for me. And it's you know, as long as you're having fun while doing it, it gets the job done. Right.
Steve GlickSo, what made that decision, right? So you're working in marketing, you've been here for 10 years, and then all of a sudden you wake up one morning and you say, I want to sell real estate. Hey, we got it talking.
Andrew DoudI mean, that's what happened. This is one of those things where I mean, for 10 years, Sarah's been on the sale selling side of things, I've been on the marketing side of things. So I've had kind of a unique perspective as far as seeing things from both angles, right? I know what we need to to do from a marketing side of things, and I know what agents like Sarah need from a sales side of things. And her business w has grown exponentially year after year, and it's kind of gotten to the point where we've been having the conversation for a while, but you know, she always said, when it gets to the point where I can't be in all places at once, then maybe we'll make the jump. And this was the year where it just got to that point where her business grew to such a degree, she's like, Okay, I need I need help. So I need somebody else that I can obviously trust, yes, that that I can bring on and partner with. And so it just seemed like a natural fit.
Steve GlickWell, it's a perfect fit and a perfect marriage. You guys are obviously married. Yeah, we're a couple. now you're business marriage. Yeah, yeah, but business marriage and the whole marriage showed quite the arrangement. Yeah. and I think it's really gonna help. You know, Sarah's business has grown so much year over year. And we've been helping her and watching her grow from starting out as an agent to helping her mother now to growing into her own individualized, you know, Sarah Doud brand, the agent, right? And it just naturally makes sense that when you grow, you need support, you need help from another fellow agent. And having you slide in to assist her, but at the same time, grow your own brand for Andrew Doud is really great to see. And we support that, and we're very excited and happy to see the growth. You know, a lot of the marketing department or even admins, they sometimes they do transition onto the real estate side, and we're happy for them. You know, it's just creating more legacy of their career, moving on to the next chapter, and we're all enthusiastic. Hopefully, make a part of the decision. Yeah, I think it's gonna be great.
Andrew DoudIt's weird to uh, you know, like a couple a couple days ago was my last official day in marketing. And so that you know, like you leave on a Friday at five o'clock, and I'm like, Well, see you Monday at 9 a.m.
Dave Rattinerin the building up front, as opposed to my, you know, it's like now we were now you're coming back into my office, you're like sitting down asking me like questions about like getting it. And you're like, you're like, am I an agent? Like, what the fuck are you sitting there? You had a you had a dress shirt on, you know, you normally have the black t-shirts on.
Andrew DoudNo,
Building Team Dowd And A Brand
Andrew Doudit's a whole new, a whole new look, a whole new vibe. Yeah. But so so thank you. So for Sarah and I, it's our our official team name is Team Down, right? Team Down. Which I'll give you the backstory on that. Whenever we were on, we have two little girls, Elizabeth and Annabelle, seven and eight. And whenever we're going on a road trip and we need everybody like on the same page, yeah, it's like, all right, team down. Here we go, guys. You know, like let's all get on the same page, let's work together.
Sarah DoudAndrew usually does a little speech, you know, to rally to rally. It always comes back to cars. It always comes back to the cars. Yes, it does. I didn't even pick up on that. But yeah, Andrew's like always before road for people who don't know. I don't know how anyone could not know yet, but you are a car enthusiast. And a lot of his national TV career was reporting on racing and cars and interviewing some of the top drivers. Um in NASCAR.
Andrew DoudThat was that was a fun chapter. That was right before we got up here.
Sarah DoudAnd it's something that kind of it translates a little bit into you know, your approach to selling in the Hamptons. You have many classic cars, and uh, you know, I think people will see a lot of those popping up in our videos and taking drives, you know, down Dune Road. And um, I think you're gonna weave that store story together.
Andrew DoudWell, that's I mean, that's a good point. I mean, Sarah, Sarah's brand, she's built it over the last decade, and so she has a look and a feel to the stuff that she puts out, her brochures, her Instagram page, obviously. And so whenever we're working on a a property together, which you know would be kind of every listing, obviously, but it that'll be like Team Doud's approach to selling is the two of us working together to get the property sold or work with a buyer, whatever the case may be. But um, she has her own business, her own clients, her like a whole thing that she's built up over the last 10 years. So certainly my goal is to also create my own business. And and you know, as I say, you know, as the saying goes, a rising tide raises all ships, right? So if we can our goal isn't to necessarily be sitting in the office together and and staring at the same listing and picking out photos, but to be out um, you know, if she's in West Hampton one day and I can be in Bridgehampton, like that that helps divide and conquer. If we're in the same place.
David AndrewsWhat was that phrase about the newsroom you've told me before?
Andrew DoudThe news doesn't happen in the newsroom. Yeah. And and real estate, look, it's important to be in the office and network with agents. You know, people come in, they're looking to talk to somebody, they're looking for an expert opinion. but I also think that getting out in the community, meeting people, getting involved, going to events is where you meet people and just get talking to them. And it it's not always a direct conversation about real estate, but if they can get to know you and you become top of mind, then when it is time for them to need some advice to sell, to buy, whatever the case may be, they're like, hey, Andrew and Sarah, those guys are great. At least that's hopefully.
Dave RattinerWell, let's talk about your let's talk about your social media strategy because Sarah, you have you know a very serious social media strategy, and now you're bringing in Doud. So is the idea you're gonna be collaborating together or are you gonna have one social media account? How are you guys handling the social media?
Sarah DoudSo Andrew's will be eastbound with Doud.
Andrew DoudEastbound with Doud. It was it was Andrew, we've we went back and forth on this for a long time. It was just Andrew J Doud, and I ended up coming up. I wanted to do some kind of playoff The Last Name because just for the handle. And so we went with Eastbound with Doud because to me, it I want people to feel like when they're following me that they that there's content that pulls them eastbound, out east, right, into the Hamptons. And so it just seems kind of clever with me, you know, as sort of a local tour guide. obviously, as Sarah mentioned, you're gonna see that cars are my passion, real estate's my business, is what I tell people. real estate's business, cars are the passion. So you're gonna see a theme with you know, the Mustang, I have the classic Mustang, Sarah's got this classic truck. and so we'll we'll kind of weave that into some of the marketing that we do as a as sort of the the the tour guide, but but obviously at the at the heart of it is real estate. So the car might take you to the listing or take you to a particular area of the Hamptons, um, but then we'll get into the nitty-gritty as far as like what the market is there, what the value is there, um, why you should buy here, why some people like it, why it might not be the best fit for others, you know.
Sarah Doudand the Hamptons has an interesting kind of connection to cars and racing. If you if you know the bridge at all, if anyone has ever been up there, you know, as you pull in, you go under the sign that was there from the original racetrack. If you go to the Bridge Hampton Museum, there's a whole display and kind of exhibit devoted to kind of the history which kind of has the little razor. Yes, they do. Yes, yes, yes. You can do the little track. So there's an interesting element of kind of the Hamptons. And I think for us as a family, we're we're big into the history of the Hamptons, my family being here since the 1800s and seeing it going from horse-drawn carriages to Ferraris, you know, there's a big change of what's happened out here, and we're really in tune to that and telling the stories and remembering the stories, um, and sharing those stories with people who come to the Hamptons for the first time and are choosing to make this their home or maybe just their summer spot. But um, I think we are able to connect people to all of that, which is the best. I think it's great.
Steve GlickI think it's a great follow too. So if you're on Instagram, definitely follow Eastbound with Doud, and then also follow Sarah Doud as well on Instagram.
Sarah DoudSarah Doud Real Estate. Pretty straightforward. Sarah Doud Real Estate. A lot of horses, a lot of good real estate. We'll be looking funny.
Steve GlickYou guys interact with we'll be looking out for the Team Doud Instagram at some point. But um, Andrew, we wish you the best of luck, and we're gonna be all following along and watching your career explode. There we go. You know, you're I'm sure you're gonna be on this podcast many times, and we're happy to have you back as a guest.
Andrew DoudAs Dave said, he goes, You're in the open ocean now.
Weekly Hamptons Market Numbers
Steve GlickObviously, this is a real estate podcast. I want to get into the data and get Sarah's take on the data this past week. So over the past week, 17 listings went into contract from West Hampton to Montauk. Last year there were 34 listings, a decrease of 50%, and two years ago 35 listings, a decrease of 51%, breakdown of the 17 transactions, one over 20 million, two between 10 and 15 million, one between five and ten, two between three and five, five between two and three, four between one and two and two hundred million, dollar volume was eighty-three million, last year it was 120 million, a decrease of 31%, two years ago it was 94 million, a decrease there of 13%. 28 new listings came onto the market, so that increased inventory by 11 listings, and the breakdown of those 28 new listings, three over 20 million, two between 10 and 15 million, six between five and ten million, four between three and five million, five between two and three million, five between one and two million, three under a million, inventory is at seventeen hundred and sixty-three total listings, thirteen seventy-three active, and three hundred and ninety in contracts. So this week in particular was a little bit slower, I think, obviously, because it's an election time a year. Things people just like to wait and see how that pans out. Now that is over. Let's see how the numbers increase as we're you know, rounding out you know, the year end. We're in the fourth quarter now. there's always an increase of new listings coming onto the market, but one of the things that stand out to me was there were three listings over $20 million that came onto the market in one week. That's a lot. I know Saunders just launched a new property on the ocean in on Metal Lane for $43.5 million. So that certainly falls into the over $20 million category spectacular home. And I'm sure those agents you'll be on a podcast to talk about that. But Sarah, what do you make of all this market data?
Negotiating Season And Pricing Reality
Sarah DoudSo it's interesting when you hit some of those first numbers there and you talk about the decreases that are happening. Kind of when we started this before the podcast today, I was mentioning how we're have this feeling of a little bit of a buyer's market transition. You know, the Hamptons is always a strong market. The Hamptons goes up and up year after year, and it's it's always a historically great place to buy real estate and has a strong market, but you do have these little bit of dips and waves sometimes. And so this time a year, and also when you have an election, those you know, obviously going with November, um, you tend to see a little bit of a more negotiable season. And so we'll call that maybe a little bit of a soft buyer's market.
Dave RattinerAnd so those are words you never hear and they have to be.
Sarah DoudYou don't hear them often, you know. But if you're buyer, I'm feeling it just if you're a buyer, this is the moment to pay attention. This is the moment to show up and put a deal together. taking out a buyer today, we're gonna tour 10 houses, another one coming out for a big, you know, tour on Sunday. And so it's interesting because we're always listing homes, but we're also buyers' agents. And so this time of year, right now in this moment, I feel like I am more a buyer's agent today than a listing agent. But we're that being said, still gearing up for the spring. So if you're listing a house now, like you said, you had 28 new that came on. So if you're listing a house now, it means you're a real seller. It means that you definitely want to put a deal together, you're gonna price it appropriately, you're gonna move this property. Maybe it's someone who is retiring and has to move. Maybe it's someone who hates the winter, just wants to get out before the season comes again because last winter was brutal. If you're listing now, you're you're ready to get some real estate together. So buyers will show up, they'll see something well priced. Just the other day, there was something that went into a bidding war. it was like a four-bedroom house in Southampton, which for just over a million dollars. You shop that in the market and you see, well, teardowns are going for that. So that house obviously had multiple offers, went over ask, super performance, went in a week. So so it really comes down to pricing if you are listing that and your end goals. But what is your buyer's market? Well, one, it's the time of year. there was that little pop in the interest rates that made it up maybe about a month ago. You know, things have come down a smidge since then. But you had that pop, you were going into an election, and you had this time of year. So all those three things together sets you up for and you traditionally with or without an election going into the winter, tend to see people who have been on all season probably overpriced and then are finally coming down with a reduction. And then now they're finally like, okay, we're ready to sell. You know, I I when I list something prefer to just list it correctly so you don't find yourself in the situation at the end of the market doing a reduction and then taking kind of a bottom feeder deal.
Andrew DoudI always go back to that one year that you sold a house, you were representing the the buyer, and it was it Christmas or New Year's Day you went out, it was a Christmas. It was it was New Year's Day, yeah, in a blizzard.
Sarah DoudAnd that was the time kind of around COVID when everything was a bidding war. And so we had an inspection done, a deal, a memo of sale out, um, and so Monday contracts could be signed. And that, you know, attorneys had to do that quickly, but everyone else was just coming out of the snowstorm, like, you know, stretching, stretching and coming back to life on Monday, and we had the deal done. So it's like, you know, if you're a real buyer and you're a real buyer and a real seller, you can definitely make it. That's great.
Steve GlickI mean, look, there's no panic button, even though these numbers are a little low, there's no reason to press the panic button.
Sarah DoudThis is the changes on a dime, too. I had one listing that was a little bit of a funny market that we were going into, and so I actually advised them we had a buyer making an offer, but it was a little bit low. And I actually advised them that we should put in a winter tenant for six months and then hit the spring market. So now they can still they can still go to warmer temperatures in South Carolina for six months. The house is taken care of, they're making a little cash, and we're gonna hit the spring market, and you know, the people who are renting it also have an option to buy at Falasque, which they're into. So, you know, sometimes forcing the sale now doesn't isn't the best thing for those sellers. And so um, you know, I always like to say I give my people the advice that I'd give myself. And if you really need to be out of here for the winter, maybe taking a beat like that with a rental person is smarter than rushing into doing a, you know, kind of giving it away now.
David AndrewsRight, right, right. That's smart. And you do a lot of rentals, though.
Sarah DoudYeah. So yeah, I mean, rentals turn into naturally, they turn into sales. And so then, and then most everybody, when I was a kid, I felt like my family was the only one that rented the house. Now almost everybody who buys the Hamptons also asks, and how can I rent this? And what can I get? It's part of the formula. I have to carry it, I have to. so naturally, I think there's just from doing sales that rentals, you know, I stick around. I don't just say bye. So um, but it's future business, so it's smart to stick around, I think.
Steve GlickUm, all
November Hamptons Events To Catch
Steve Glickright. So as we're into November now, it's November 5th, there's a lot the pumpkin season, apple picking is over, and we're in Thanksgiving mode. Okay. So Dave Andrews here.
Sarah DoudCan I just say one of my things I'm so excited about this whole transition is that David Andrews is with us now because he's one of my favorite people in the marketing.
David AndrewsWell, you're gonna make me blush on top of being nervous to fill in for your you know award-winning husband whose voice, by the way, the voice is still iconic. Go on. Love to hear it. Um big shoes to follow. But yeah, Steve, there's a lot going on in the Hamptons in November. Anyone who's out here knows that. so let's on Hamptons.com, we've got a great event calendar. So these are a couple of the things that we've picked out from our calendar. I'd say Friday, tomorrow, 6 to 7:30 at the church in Sag Harbor. Not a place of worship, a place of learning. You've got Janet Reetman of the New York Times magazine journalist and a Springs resident is discussing her new book, The Inheritance, an American Tragedy in Five Acts. Really sounds like it will be much more of an intellectual kind of exercise. But after learning on Friday, you can go to Saturday. And I shouldn't tell you guys about this because when I went last week, I couldn't even get in because it was already sold out. But La Family Bakery is having a pop-up at Martyrs Garden Center Saturday morning. They sell out very quickly. It starts at 9 30. Wow. Lucy is delightful. She's a good friend. She's a few. What do they sell out of what is the product? I don't know. I didn't get any croissants. What is it croissants? Mostly croissants.
Andrew DoudYou're the guy in the nose, too.
David AndrewsDon't you get like the velvet rope? I I I have I have my ear to the street. I don't think there's an R in it. That's quite a bit.
Sarah DoudShe has a great Instagram following as well.
David AndrewsIf you want to see the tasty, they're great. Okay. Um then in the afternoon, there is a docent-led tour at the Parish Art Museum. A docent is a guide. Don't worry, Dave. I'll explain what I'm saying.
Dave RattinerSounds like docile.
David AndrewsI hope that this is what it is. It's a tour guide. So if you want to see what's going on at the Parish Museum, learn something soon. We could use that. We're going to look at the internet. It's going to be a horrible work. All right. Then our last one, Sunday morning Wolfer brunch. They've got a oh, I'm not going to say this right. Maison Ertraude. Um real French this week.
Andrew DoudSay it with confidence, even if it's wrong.
David AndrewsYeah, that's my style. But the Wolfers got a brunch with pastries and wine. That sounds great. I think that Roman will be there, or someone from the Wolfer team will be there. If you've ever heard them talk about wine, they know what they're talking about. It'll get you pumped up for a glass of wine, even at 11 a.m.
Steve GlickUm Do they do that brunch every Sunday or it's just for this one weekend?
David AndrewsI it looks like they'll be doing that every Sunday, but we'll just have to check at the podcast next week to see what else great events are happening in the Hamptons. That's great. and then if you're looking for a great article to read, I did a uh profile on Myron Bud Shulman. Thanks to Lisa Bass and Agent at Saunders for providing some background in photography. But he's a local architect, really great story. And if you've got any time this weekend, check it out.
Steve GlickThat's great. That's good stuff, Dave. We're looking forward to it. Now, um, Dave Rattiner. Okay.
Thanksgiving Donation Drive With Matching
Steve GlickTell us tell us about this Saunders donation drive that I see all about on Instagram. , well, we do it every year, Steve.
Dave RattinerSo I'm surprised you don't know about it. It's the 13th year, and we have raised over $300,000 over those 13 years. , since so incredible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So since 2020, Saunders Associates has the annual Thanksgiving Donation Drive. Runs all November through runs all November through Giving Tuesday. Which is that's that's what does that mean?
David AndrewsDecember 1st is on on is giving Tuesday.
Dave RattinerAh, okay. Okay, thank you, Dave. Runs all November through December 1st with every dollar match for Hamptons Food Pantries. So the main thing to know is that every single dollar is matched. So if we raise $50,000, Andrew and Colleen Saunders will stroke a check for another $50,000. So it's like an absolute no-brainer.
Sarah DoudI've donated already. We're good.
Dave RattinerYou can donate, you go to Hamptons.com or you can go to the GoFundMe page, it's right on Saunders.com. You can visit that as well. And you should donate and you should tell your friends about it. So what we've been doing is we've been texting people about it and just texting out links. Tech, you know, have your clients text the link to your client and they'll do it. You know, it's great.
Steve GlickThere's so many donation drives out there, which they're all great and they're all wonderful. This one in particular, your dollar goes a lot further. If every single dollar is matched dollar for dollar, it's you're doubling your donation. And it goes to all the food pantries here in the Hamptons from West Hampton, Montauk, even Shelter Island. I think we have about 15 different food pantries, large and small. And they tell us every year that the best donation they can receive is a monetary donation, money donation. So they could purchase items in bulk, right? They can get fresh produce and fresh poultry and deliver it immediately. and they could buy bulk products. So your dollar really goes a lot further. And it's just drop it off.
Dave RattinerYou know, you go you go to the church and you see on Thanksgiving, you see, you know, families are down there. The need is out here. The need is real.
Steve GlickEven over in the Hamptons, there's still a need for these food pantries. Yeah, people don't realize that. So and it happens all year round. So obviously, we're collecting the donations now, but definitely support the food pantries all throughout the year. The money we contribute does carry for a good period of time. So we're excited and happy to promote that. and we raised close to you know nine thousand dollars already, and it's only been the first week. So we're looking forward to exceeding our goal as we as we strive to every year.
