East Hampton, which has a population of 4693, has a median price of $1,648,000 for a four-bedroom home.
According to Realestate.com.au Nine spent $14.3million to snap up the properties between June 29 and July 1 in 2022.
Among the challenges facing the Blockheads this year is the construction of a ‘secondary accommodation’, besides the main home renovation.

In another format change, contestants will get the building schedule up-front.
For the first time, Blockheads will also be getting a preview of the planned outside of the house before they start construction.
After last seasons weather impacted construction in rural Gisbourne, host Scott Cam says that the contestants this time faced a little ‘less stress’.

The Block filmed its 2021 season in neighbouring Hampton, only two kilometres from the 2023 location.
One of the Block’s regulars, Denise Jacobs, said East Hampton was ‘taking off’ even if it was the ‘poor cousin’ to Hampton, which tends to be pricier.
The buyers agent, who sold her own home in Hampton to Nine for $1.59million for the 2021 season of The Block, described Charming Street as ‘great’.

‘It’s a happy little pocket and there are some lovely established homes,’ she said.
The prices buyers paid for the Hampton homes in 2021 were between $2.3million and $3million, so fans should expect to see similar prices for East Hampton.
Real estate agent Marty Fox joins the well-loved team of existing judges, Darren Palmer, Shaynna Blaze and Neale Whitaker.
Scott Cam and Shelley Craft will return as hosts on the hit series this year.
