While many believe summer should be the busiest selling season, it is the spring and autumn that are the strongest selling seasons of the year on Hilton Head Island.  The agenda for many of the summer time visitors is to spend time with family and relax.  While many research the real estate while they are on vacation, they typically return in the fall or spring to buy.  With the busiest rental season we have had, this coming Autumn and Spring we will be selling up a storm!

The perfect “buyers storm” is brewing  on Hilton Head Island

This Autumn, the perfect “buyers storm” is brewing on Hilton Head Island as the lowest interest rates ever collide with the incredible values and unbelievable properties during a strong selling season.  Because these variables may never align this way again, this Autumn promises to be our best ever.  In fact, our recommendation to buyers is the “early bird will get the best worm.”  There simply has never been a better time to become a Hilton Head property owner!

Sell before the end of the year!

We have buyers and if you are interested in selling before the end of the year, we can help you.  Please send us an e-mailor call me direct at 800-932-3652.  Our last seller sold their property in 30 days and this is what they had to say “Robbie and Jane brought creative Internet marketing, a selling strategy and positive approach to the marketing of our home that had been on the market earlier without success”.  They continued “Robbie and Jane custom designed a presentation and a plan that we stuck to and we sold our home in 30 days (June) this year… for more than what others thought we could!  In fact, the offer came before the buyer actually saw the property in person.”  Please let us know if you would like us to help get your property sold this Autumn.  You can email us at robbie@robbiebunting.com or call us direct at 800-932-3652.  Thank you.

Record Low Mortgage Loan Rates
Mortgage loan interest rates are one of the key drivers in the real estate industry. In today’s economy, Freddie Mac is reporting 30-year fixed rates at historic lows over the last few weeks.

What does this mean to you?

1. If you’re thinking about selling, now is a great time because buyers will be able to afford more home at a lower monthly payment.
2. If you want to sell and move up, a low interest rate will help you get more home for the monthly payment you pay. 
3. If you want to stay in your home, now is a great time to refinance your existing mortgage loan.

Call me or e-mail me if you’d like more information. I am happy to answer any questions you might have. Contact me now. When it comes to mortgage loan interest rates, timing is everything.  You can email me at robbie@robbiebunting.com , or call us at 800-932-3652 ASAP.  These rates offer the bottom of the market for every reason including rate, selection and price.

Happy Half Year!

As we are now half way through 2010, I wanted to wish my clients and friends a very happy half year!  As we stated at the beginning of 2010, the market is changing.  We have seen positive improvements take place and we also can see challenges ahead.  There are also several vanishing opportunities worth noting.  All in all, the first half was a great improvement over 2009.  In fact, my company and I doubled our sales and volume in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009.  We are very happy to be busy with buyers once again.

Now is the time to get off the fence!

Last month in June, we rocked and sold eight properties, just Jane and I.  If you are thinking of selling, now is the time to get on the market or price your property to sell.  It will not do any good to evaluate price in December when Hilton Head Island has fewer visitors and everyone is thinking of the holidays.  Hilton Head Island is seasonal and we have buyers looking for properly now.

Hilton Head Sellers and Buyers must be aware of the “Principle of Substitution”

Sellers and buyers on Hilton Head need to be aware of the “Principle of Substitution” as it can either kick them in the butt or help them negotitate an incredible deal.  This simple principle states that when several similar properties are available, the one with the lowest price will get the greatest demand. This principle also assumes there is not much time between the comparison of the properties.  In other words, the lowest priced property will always sell first when it comes up on the market.
