We had a blast Jet Skiing on Hilton Head

 Neil Turner, owner of Sea Monkeys Watersports, and his hard-working staff(his brother Elliott) had us out jet skiing the pristine waters of the Calibogue on my son’s birthday.  The boys loved going almost 50 miles per hour.  Sea Monkeys is located on the North end of Hilton Head Island, 1/2 mile onto the island, within Hilton Head Harbor RV Resort & Marina.  They accept and we suggest reservations, their  telephone number is (843)842-4754.  What a fun thing to do on Hilton Head Island and a great way to see Dolphin!

While they dominated the housing market in 2009, first time home buyers weren’t the only ones taking advantage of low mortgage rates and affordable home prices.

According to recent survey by the National Association of Realtors®, the number of people buying second properties as vacation homes rose 7.9 percent to 553,000 in 2009 from 513,000 in 2008.

The market share for vacation homes rose to 10 percent, from 9 percent in 2008, and the median home price for a vacation home was 169,000 dollars in 2009, compared to 150,000 dollars in 2008.

Buy and rent on Hilton Head Island

My financial guy explained a simple concept to me today.  He explained that in the past few years, families could rent for less than they could own a property.  However now that the long term rental markets are firming up, owning is now becoming cheaper than renting.   Factor in the low interest rates and the values around the island and real estate investments make sense. 

Buy a home and rent it until you move to Hilton Head!

If you could freeze time, their would never be a better time to buy a home or villa on Hilton Head Island.  The values and some of our properties offer premier locations, pricing below replacement costs and are simply priced to sell.  Buying a home and renting it until you are ready to move or retire with prices below replacement on Hilton Head make sense.  what are you waiting for?
