Hilton Head buyers that are agonizing over a 1% counter offer from the seller are missing the point and usually the property in today’s market.  It is easy to understand why a buyer stays put on their offer in a declining market, but that option is going, going, gone.  Just look at Zillow pricing for Hilton Head over the last year.  It shows an improvement of almost 10%.  A buyer that gets sticker shock in an improving market, just may have to wait for the next recession to buy a home.

If your Hilton Head property is listed for sale, good news, the butterflies are back!  Butterflies and baby boomers show up in the fall on Hilton Head as they make their migration south.  Given the present interest rates, the growing confidence in the economy and 42% of the 77 million baby boomers indicating they wish to retire in the south-east, the fall market is going to be absolutely incredible for our Hilton Head Area Sellers!

Dear Clients, Friends and Associates~

Last month we published and mailed the first edition, “It’s All About Home” to 9,500 clients interested in Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes, Wexford, Long Cove, Palmetto Hall, Shipyard, Folly Field, Singleton Beach and Port Royal.  This is the first of its kind and we are excited about this new marketing program.

The Principles of Hilton Head Properties are seasoned real estate professionals in the Hilton Head Area Real Estate Market and know how to get a property sold. Marketing is the big reason a property sits or sells.  Hilton Head Properties marketing will not follow others, but will lead them.

The Hilton Head Area Market is highly competitive for sellers. There are newer properties off Island and lower priced new listings entering the market every day.  In the last 12 months, many sellers were unable to sell their properties. Pro-Active marketing is the difference between hoping or making it happen.

Hilton Head Properties listings are in every mailbox and on every web page.  Our convenient Island location is fabulous and on line our properties have high resolution photography, detailed descriptions, and diligence materials for buyers searching almost any real estate website.  In fact, we are now published in 19 languages with 30 different currencies. Even then, we will not wait for our buyers to find us and every week we send our properties to over 7,000 buyers with updates on the Island via electronic email.

Our goal is to provide great marketing for our seller clients and separate them from the others.  We hope you enjoy the first edition of “It’s All About Home”.  We would love to know what you think and invite your inquiries.  Thank you.
All of Our Best,

Hilton Head Properties

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.

Reading the National Assoication of Realtors(NAR) Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers 2012 all we got to say is right on!  In the last year, this report states that over 90% of all buyers went to the web and 42% found the actual property they wound up purchasing in 2o12.  We have seen this in the Hilton Head Market, as buyers walk in with a few property printouts and ask us to show them these properties.  Other trends are listed below… Read the rest of this entry

Some Hilton Head buyers and sellers may be shell shy from the past few years, but they need to get over it if they want to take advantage of timing their real estate move.  Hilton Head Inventories are dropping and for buyers and sellers it is time to jump back into the real estate market.  The past has shown us that the fear of future events is greater than the reality as we move out of the housing recession, elections and anything else that stands in the way of the housing recovery.  The Hilton Head housing market is on a slow roll.

Recently, Keith Miller of Miller Long Term Rentals(passcode “gator”) approached us with an idea to help buyers, sellers and agents sell more homes.  He offered long term rental proformas for our residential listings! We thought this was such a great idea.  Buyers now can take advantage of great locations, incredible interest rates and get an idea of the income they can generate until they are ready to make a move!  Below are some great locations that potentially offer fantastic rental revenue!
