The real estate buyers are back in January!  We have seen an increase in home, villa and home site sales on the Island since January 1, 2009.   This early season pickup in traffic is driven by the value adjustments on existing listings & realistic pricing on new listings.   In fact, quite simply it’s impossible to stop baby boomers from retiring or having fun!   

However, the true opportunity right now in the Island Real Estate Market is selection.  What this means to you is that we have an amazing array of properties available from condos, to homes to home sites that have been building in inventory and reduced as a result of the growing inventories.  So, if you are already an owner and want to research a move or you are investigating the possibilities for the first time check out the timing below!

Here are some benefits the current real estate inventory offers you:

• Upgrade to bigger and better.
• Find a better View. 
• Move closer to the beach, golf, pool, club…etc.
• Downsize to a smaller home or villa.
• Purchase an additional or adjacent property.
• Take advantage of the savings this market affords.
• Find an incredible bargain!

Keep in mind the good stuff is selling with a low number of days on the market. The first azaleas bloom kick off the selling season on Hilton Head and I would love to help you or a friend find a deal in this new and exciting Real Estate Market! 

Please feel free to call for any reason…. No matter how big or how small you may think it is, we can certainly save you time and most often money!. Whether its tee times, restaurant selections, booking a vacation or finding paradise…just e-mail or call us!

We appreciate the opportunity to serve you!
