Hilton Head Island, SC – Based on recent market research, buyers and sellers didn’t negotiate as much in last month on Hilton Head Island.  The average list to sell price hovered in the 95% range for homes and villas in almost all price categories on the Island.  Factors that may have contributed to this include good pricing, falling inventories and relatively stable prices.  Listed below are some other observations we noted in our market research.

All it takes is a little hope, courage and a miracle

Every residential Hilton Head community that ever had a vacant home-site has a ARB which is an acronym for Architectural Review Board.  Just like a Hilton Head POA, the board is made up of members from the community, professionals and adminstrators that make decisions about the architecture based on the covenants of the community.  These review boards protect the residential integrity of their community and help uphold property values from these efforts.

Great news.  The Island is now going to create a waterfront sailing and rowing club.  Down Squire Pope Road this property will replace the location for the rowing club under the Old Oyster Factory.  Which brings back many great memories and we are thankful we had this location.  What a great Island we live on.  Must mention my wife Laurie for resurrecting the rowing club for our High School Students a few years ago.  Of course, she did this with our son in mind and her commitment, passion and dedication carries forward..click on Hilton Head rowing, sailing center plans speed forward – Beaufort News – IslandPacket.com.

We have our own language when it comes to Hilton Head real estate.  We say villas, regimes, harbours and complexes when others would call them condos, condo fees, marinas, PUD’s and projects.  We use the word regime for condos in Hilton Head because when a condo is built in South Carolina, a Horizontal Property Regime is formed and recorded.  This regime than manages the common property going forward.  This blog is about regimes fees on Hilton Head Island.

Congratulations to Don Peterson with the Alliance Group, the winner of the iPad2! John Robinson, President of the Association drew the winner of the iPad raffle from our MLS tour.  Be sure to email to congratulate Don, because we have not told him yet!  The turnout was unbelievable at 57 Heath Court West with the best golf and lagoon views in Leamington and 120 South Shore Drive on the Oceanfront.  Both of these homes are located in the private residential beach community of Leamington(community benefit list).

Please note the following:

1. 120 South Shore is Listed under Villas because the regime handles all the outside maintenance.  If this were listed in homes it would be the newest 6 bedroom oceanfront on the Island under $3 mill and the least expensive 6 bedroom oceanfront home in a plantation.  Be sure to look under villas to find it.
2. 57 Heath Court West was completely remodeled in 2007 and is better than new!   We had several comments from agents that were surprised how new this home looked and felt.  The remodel was extensive from head to toe making this fabulous location one of the best on Hilton Head Island!

Thank you for again for participating in our iPad MLS tour giveaway.  Happy Selling, Robbie Bunting
