We had a client contact us this week as they were looking at their 2012 financial planning and were interested in our outlook for their Hilton Head Property. We love to help our clients review their real estate values anytime of the year, but at this time of year this is especially important as you plan your year ahead.  Our market research includes reviewing the broad market and the specific market areas and coming up with a summary of each together and separate.  Through our research we will look what the trend line for property values based on the most recent information available and what amount of inventory exists in current active listings including the lurking shadow inventory(if applicable).  Some of the tools we use in our valuations include our Monthly Market Trend Reports , Hilton Head Housing Supply Overview and Current Comparable MLS Inventories.
