“Summer brings you here, winter keeps you hear” was the mantra for Hilton Head Owners or so I thought. Lately I have been talking to friends and clients in the north and finding that their hometown temperatures have been approaching the 100 degree mark while Hilton Head has been hovering in the 90’s. For those on the Island or visiting soon, our summer has been wonderful with its never ending breezes. Read the rest of this entry
Hilton Head Villas are bouncing along what looks to be bottom. Not sure it is sustainable and to be quite frank, it helps that we have more people on Hilton Head Island at this time of year. Nonetheless, prices have leveled off on villas under $350,000 on Hilton Head Island for the last six months. The graph below shows the last 12 months in villa sales exclusively on Hilton Head Island(Bluffton and Daufuskie are not shown here). Read the rest of this entry
This years 4th of July fireworks locations on Hilton Head Island will be Harbourtown, Shelter Cove and Skull Creek Marina. While the fireworks will be set off from these three areas, they can also be enjoyed from a boat, a dock, the beach or even Daufuskie Island. This years high tide will be around 6 pm, so when the fireworks are set off there will be plenty of beach to watch them from. Below are the hours for the Hilton Head Islands 4th of July Firework displays! Read the rest of this entry
Dear friends, referrals, new visitors, and clients,
Summer on Hilton Head is a fun.
With one of the busiest spring real estate seasons we’ve seen in years our visitors are jumping in the car of their favorite Realtors to go find a good one before they are all gone. Coupled with affordable prices and incredibly low mortgage rates buyers are not waiting until their next visit.
Pricing is so good
We had a buyer step up recently on one of our properties and pay 96% of asking price…of course they started lower, but knew this was a chance of a lifetime type property. We have had a few properties where we were bidding with other buyers…and my clients all know I hate to lose!

Bananas have a shelf life, real estate does not. Some sellers think that their property will get stale if it ison the market too long. In fact, we have watched sellers take their property off the market, put it back on, take it off, put it back on and finally one day it sells. They missed BUYERS because they did not understand the Hilton Head Market. Read the rest of this entry
This short video offers some ideas from a local short sale negotiator on Hilton Head Island. This negotiator was educated by a declining market and worked in the mortgage industry, moved to loan modifications and now helps negotiate short sales with banks. He has developed the skills and relationships that can help him navigate through the short sale process better than others that do not do it every day.
For a six-month period starting on June 1, hurricane season is now upon us. In a recent statement National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Jane Lubchenco said, “NOAA’s outlook predicts a less-active season compared to recent years. But regardless of the outlook, it’s vital for anyone living or vacationing in hurricane-prone locations to be prepared.” For hurricane updates visit the NOAA Hurricane Center at www.nhc.noaa.gov and below we have a short video below.

Flood Insurance ~ Hilton Head Island, SC
Flood insurance coverage is purchased separately from homeowner’s coverage. The primary flood insurance comes from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) which is underwritten by our Federal Government and administered by FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The maximum limits of primary flood coverage available in the Hilton Head Area is $250,000 coverage for a building and $100,000 coverage for its eligible contents(typically no more than $365 per year for maximum coverage). Flood insurance is a low cost way to secure coverage to repair or replace improved and personal property if they are damaged by flooding.
Good News Flood Insurance Extension
The U.S. Senate has passed a 60-day extension of the National Flood Insurance Program, avoiding a lapse in coverage due to expire May 31. While this is temporary good news, the National Association of REALTORS® is firmly committed to working with Congress to pass a 5-year extension of the program.
Nothing better…Memorial Weekend Island Style. We have some great outdoor events planned for the weekend including an art festival and paying honor to our fallen veterans on Memorial Day. Join us on Hilton Head Island for Memorial Weekend!
