You can stop worrying folks, it looks like economy is doing just fine for people who summer in the Hampton's.

First, the NY Post reports on a record real estate deal:

An 18-acre estate in East Hampton has been sold for $145 million, sources say, setting a new record for the highest priced residential sale in the nation. But the buyer remains a secret.

"Everybody out here is totally mystified," one local told me.

The beachfront property on Further Lane - with formal gardens and a pond - was the dream house of Christopher H. Browne, managing director of the Tweedy, Browne Company investment firm, and his boyfriend, architect Andrew Gordon.

So again, you can stop worrying about how the Hamptons are doing this year. Seems everything is just fine.
