Is Hilton Head A Good Investment?
Investors are once again moving into the Hilton Head Real Estate market. Some are looking for return and have no plans on using the property while others are adding it to their portfolios with the expected fringe benefits of using it when it is not rented. We welcome back these purchasers and think they will like what they see. In fact, Yahoo Finance, just ranked the Hilton Head Market as one of “5 Best Markets to Buy a Home” and we have listed some reasons why.
Buying Property at the bottom on Hilton Head
Buying for investment is all about timing. The Hilton Head market has been bouncing along the bottom for the last few years and recently we have seen a firming of selling prices with less negotiation between the listing price and selling price. Of course, this is dependent on proper pricing to begin with. The graph below shows the positive value improvements made recently on Hilton Head.
Low interest rates and high rental demand appeal to Hilton Head investors
It has never been a better time to buy rental property. Rental income can be off the charts with the help of the internet to cover the off season and boost their bottom line. Add in the very attractive interest rates on properties some between 2 and 3% and investors have never had better cash flow.
