On this episode of Home 2.0, Hamptons real estate experts Kimberly Kakerbeck, David Tenenbaum, and Timothy Burch continue their conversation with Scott Hobbs, owner of Hobbs Incorporated, from 245 Meadows West in Bridgehampton, New York.

In Part Two, the group takes a closer look at the Hamptons luxury real estate and home-building market, including the current cost per square foot to build a home in the Hamptons, what today's luxury homebuyers are looking for, and how custom construction is shaping the region's most sought-after properties.

Scott also shares some of the most unusual and unexpected requests he has encountered when building custom homes in the Hamptons—from Turkish baths and resort-style amenities to "Costco" storage rooms designed to accommodate buyers' unique lifestyles.
