The most critical information that our Hilton Head Monthly Market Trend Report conveys is what I call the “Big Three”.  These are the vital statistics for determining negotiation or pricing and include:

1. Average List price to Average Sales Price ~ This is a direct indicator of negotiation opportunity and the firmness of the market.  Buyers and sellers can benefit by understanding this number
2. Average Days on the Market ~ This time frame applies to properties that are priced correctly for their condition and location.
3. Average number of listings taken vs. Average number of sales in a given period which will give us the number of months of inventory that available for sale.  This can help buyers and sellers determine strategy.

This report is a snapshot of how the market place has performed in the recent past, which is often a good predictor of future market performance for sellers and buyers.  If you would like to receive a monthly report by mail or e-mail, please email us at robbie@robbiebunting.com or call Jane Hyers to set up a phone appointment at (843)785-7111.  This is not only a good map of where we have been, it points to where we may be going.  Happy Hilton Head!  Robbie Bunting

Our properties do not suffer from a lack of marketing and it looks like they will be cooking this summer.   The virtual visitors and “traffic” is totally off the charts as we head into selling season with these great properties.  We have other sites and will be adding Robbie Bunting’s Internet Marketing sites to this list, but below is the recent report on our Realtor.com, Visual Tour.com and BlogHiltonHeadRealtor.com sites.  We have seen a steady increase in the amount of page views as we head into summer and sellers offering price, condition, location and access will see activity in the weeks ahead!
