“ Rarely do you hear people say that a home renovation was a pleasurable experience. I can honestly say that the renovation that I recently completed with North Fork Woodworks, with Shane Burgher as the project manager, was 100% positive...and the final product is of the highest quality.
The few challenges in the process...were dealt with in a calm and constructive manner by the NFWW team. I would unequivocally recommend them for anyone who is looking for the highest quality construction that the North Fork has to offer.”

North Fork’s Quiet Cool: Luxe Listings, Big Sales, and Summer Appeal.
BY HEATHER SENISON
The market may have eased a bit this spring, but the North Fork’s prestige properties are still drawing serious attention—from a record-breaking estate in Cutchogue to a serene waterfront retreat on Peconic Bay. As summer approaches, the low-key luxury of the area is as coveted as ever.
Following a surge in sales after the election, the North Fork market cooled in March and April, experts said. “Buyers are still actively looking and deals are being made, but days on the market are longer than they used to be, and sellers must be patient,” said Kristy Naddell, an associate broker with Douglas Elliman.
In the first quarter of 2025, the average days on the market for singlefamily homes rose to 104, increasing from 90 in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 92 in the first quarter of that year, according to a recent North Fork market report from Douglas Elliman. The brokerage reported an average sales price of $1.18 million in the first quarter, down 21% from the previous quarter.
“The absorption rate is still stellar but there are less buyers overall, so we’re definitely encouraging our sellers to take that first offer,” added Compass agent Bridget Elkin. “If you get a first offer and it’s a good one, consider that it might be your only one for the next several months.” Fortunately, Elkin added, traffic will likely increase as we head into summer and visitors arrive at the fork. “When people come out here and experience it, it has a pull on them for sure,” she said.
BIG SALES IN CUTCHOGUE
Several agents we spoke with said their biggest sales of the year so far were in Cutchogue. Earlier this month, Elkin was on her way to breaking the record for the priciest single lot sale in the history of the North Fork. An estate formerly owned by famed art dealer Barbara Gladstone at 12120 New Suffolk Avenue, which was originally listed at $12 million, is in contract. The sale would beat the previous record set by 1140 Park Avenue in Mattituck, which closed in October 2024 for $10 million.
960 Willis Creek Drive, Mattituck Represented by Kristy Naddell of Douglas Elliman
The turn-of-the-century estate commands a record-breaking price, partially due to the scarcity of properties like it, Elkin said. “We don’t really have many because so many were lost in storms or fires or were just torn down,” she said.
Susan Orioli, meanwhile, said her biggest sale of the year so far was a charming waterfront property in Cutchogue at 780 East Road on the Peconic Bay. It closed for $3.4 million in March. “What distinguished this listing was its unique walk-out sandy beach, providing direct access to the bay,” said Orioli, an associate broker with Engel & Völkers North Fork. The sprawling water views were complemented by “a sought-after community that drew in a wide range of buyers,” Orioli said.
Over in Mattituck, Naddell’s top deal so far in 2025 was expected to be 960 Willis Creek Drive in Harbor Farms. The listing was in contract with an asking price of $5.25 million as of press time. “It’s a stunning bay front in Mattituck with about 7,000 square feet of living space, [plus a] dock and private beach,” Naddell said of the home.
TOWNS TO TEST DRIVE
Areas like South Jamesport and Peconic may be off the radar, but they offer great value, Orioli said. “South Jamesport embodies the charm of the North Fork with a reduced commute time than other areas out east,” she
explained. “This alluring location not only provides the peaceful atmosphere that many desire but also enhances accessibility.”
Greenport, meanwhile, offers municipal sewers and an easy commute to the city, and New Suffolk “is always coveted because it has so much charm,” Elkin said. “It’s a Cape CodPoint Lookout-meets-North Fork charm.”
Agents advised that buyers should prepare for a competitive summer market rife with bidding wars and tight inventory. “Buyers should look and make offers even if they think a house is slightly more than they can afford,” Naddell said. “There are often deals to be made, and there is more room to negotiate
than before.” She noted that Jamesport, Aquebogue and other neighborhoods in the Riverhead township offer more affordable prices than those in Southold. “What’s great about the North Fork as compared to the South Fork is that it’s such a small area, so everything is relatively close to each other,” Naddell said. “You can enjoy everything the North Fork has to offer, whether you’re in Jamesport or Greenport!”
With summer around the corner, the North Fork’s charm is only heating up—buyers are circling, standout properties are shining, and the season ahead promises fresh energy and opportunity.

WHome Technology is Enhancing Health, Comfort, and Well-Being.
ith its frenetic pace, fractured politics, and fearsome weather crises, today’s world often seems like it is, in fact, out to get us all. Fortunately, it’s easier than ever before to create a safe haven. Thanks to technology and human ingenuity, we can now transform our homes from living spaces into our personal sanctuaries.
Increasingly, technology is playing the pivotal role in this transformation, allowing us an unprecedented degree of control over our homes. Thoughtful adoption of this new technology helps by empowering us to create a home that’s a safe haven of health, wellness, and mindfulness — a sanctuary of peaceful restoration and optimal health.
Wellness is built out of a series of healthful choices; from the air we breathe to the meals we make. Smart home innovations are now capable of seamlessly integrating into our lives, offering a pathway to a healthier, more balanced
lifestyle. Here’s how a few of these cutting-edge technologies are redefining wellness within the home, especially in four key areas: air quality, lighting, fitness, and nutrition.
BY ANNIE SISK
BREATHING EASIER AT HOME
Believe it or not, the air we breathe indoors can often be just as polluted as the air outside. Poor air quality in the home can arise from several factors, including the concentration of pollutants in a confined space as well as the presence of indoor-specific pollution sources. You can improve your home’s air quality with easy actions like opening windows, staying on top of vacuuming and dusting, and choosing the right smart home devices.
For those with allergies and respiratory conditions, maintaining optimal indoor air quality is especially important. Smart air quality monitors are leading a revolution here, with devices like the Awair Element, which detects pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and allergens. With real-time tracking and alerts delivered directly to your smartphone, you’re always informed about your home’s air quality. Moreover, these monitors can integrate

with smart purifiers and HVAC systems. For example, pair the Awair Element with a Dyson Pure Humidify+Cool and you’ll enjoy automated adjustments, ensuring you can maintain your home’s atmosphere just the way you like it with minimal effort.
ALIGNING HOME LIGHTING
Lighting has a profound impact on our health, because it can significantly affect sleep, mood, and productivity. Circadian lighting is designed to mimic the natural changes in sunlight throughout the day, with the goal of positively influencing the human circadian rhythm.
Smart bulbs and automated systems (such as the Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Starter Kit) allow you to adjust brightness and color temperature throughout the day. In the morning, cool, bright light energizes you, while in the evening, warm, dim light prepares you for sleep. This alignment with natural rhythms regulates sleep patterns, boosts energy levels, and enhances mental clarity for a truly harmonious home environment.
SMARTER WORKOUTS AT HOME
The rise of AI-driven fitness technology has transformed the way we approach exercise. Of course, traditional gyms still exist, but many prefer to work out at home for a variety of reasons, such as dodging crowds, saving time, feeling more personally secure, or trying
Smart home gyms, such as Tonal 2, go even further by offering an enhanced fitness experience with real-time feedback and AIpowered form correction, thereby ensuring workouts that are both safer and more effective. Tonal’s digital weight system and personalized training programs continually adapt to your progress so that your fitness keeps improvin
Another option is a system like Tempo Studio, which helps users focus on and perfect their exercise form. Tempo Studio uses 3D motion capture technology to provide detailed feedback on your body’s alignment, extension, posture and more. These systems bring the expertise of personal trainers into your living room, so you get personalized fitness coaching in the privacy of your own home.
IMPROVED NUTRITION
to make healthier choices, transforming the kitchen into a wellness powerhouse.
REST, REHYDRATE AND RESTORE
The kitchen has become a hub for those seeking that wellness, with technology playing a crucial role in promoting healthier eating habits. Smart appliances, such as the Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator, feature food tracking and expiration alerts to reduce waste and ensure fresh ingredients. AI-powered recipe recommendations based on your dietary goals are readily available, making meal planning effortless.
Connected cooking devices, like the Nutribullet
EveryGrain Cooker and the Escali Primo Digital Food Scale, offer precision nutrition to optimize nutrient retention and perfect portion control.
Innovative wellness tech for your home isn’t limited to these areas and devices. Smart home tech works hard to enhance your health and improve your well-being:
• Smart sleep trackers and beds, like the Eight Sleep Pod 4, optimize rest by adjusting temperature and tracking sleep patterns.
• Home water filtration systems, such as the LARQ Pitcher PureVis, and hydration tracking apps ensure you stay properly hydrated.
• Smart meditation devices like the Muse 2 headband and biofeedback technology help manage stress and promote mental well-being.
And that’s just what we know about so far. Startups and inventors are busily expanding the available smart technology to help you feel more energetic and get more out of life. The future of home wellness technology is bright, with continuous innovation promising even greater control and personalization.
As technology and wellness find new ways to converge and deliver on the promises of smart home tech, we find ourselves at the cusp of a new era, where a healthier, more balanced lifestyle is not just attainable, but seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. By embracing these innovations, we’re not just upgrading our homes — we’re building better lives.
