Meg Ryan Sells Hamptons Home for $15.25 Million

Actress Meg Ryan has officially sold her Hamptons residence in Bridgehampton, New York, for the full asking price of $15.25 million. The sale closed recently, with Ryan securing the entire amount she initially listed the property for. Ryan had purchased this Bridgehampton property for $13.5 million in 2024, meaning she realized a profit of $1.75 million on the sale, excluding any renovation costs or transaction fees. The home is situated on a 1.5-acre parcel and was originally listed by Ryan in June, with a buyer secured within one month. By July, the listing status was updated to "pending," indicating an offer had been accepted, though the specific terms were not disclosed at that time. The Wall Street Journal confirmed the official closing of the sale. Meg Ryan, known for her roles in romantic comedies like "Sleepless in Seattle," "You've Got Mail," and "When Harry Met Sally," has a history of significant real estate transactions. Previously, she sold a home in Montecito, California, for $16.8 million, which was over $6 million more than her purchase price just three years prior. For the Bridgehampton listing, Ryan was represented by Evan R. Kulman of Compass. The buyer was represented by Douglas Elliman agents Paul Brennan and Martha Gundersen. The listing described the property as an "exceptional Bridgehampton South residence" located on a secluded, landscaped flag lot, offering "sophisticated luxury living" in a sought-after Hamptons location. It was noted for its proximity to ocean beaches, restaurants, and the village center, combining privacy, elegance, and convenience. The nearly 5,000-square-foot home features five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. It was originally constructed in 2016 and has undergone several updates. The property's location in Bridgehampton South is considered one of the most desirable areas in the Hamptons, known for its upscale residences and access to coastal amenities. Ryan's involvement in high-end home renovations is a notable aspect of her public profile, alongside her acting career. The transaction highlights a strong market for luxury real estate in the Hamptons, with properties often selling at or near asking price, especially in prime locations. The quick sale, from listing to pending status in one month, suggests significant buyer interest and a well-priced offering. The final sale price of $15.25 million aligns with the property's valuation in the current luxury market.
