Open thread: What was the real estate market like when you first moved to the Hamptons?

The real estate market is always changing, and in the Hamptons that’s no exception. We want to hear from our readers: What was the Hamptons real estate market like when you first moved out here, or bought your first summer house on the South Fork?

What was the seasonal rent of your first share house? Which town did you live in? Since you first bought or rented on the East End, how has the market changed?
