Dear Clients, Friends & Fellow Associates ~
As a Realtor on Hilton Head Island I am often asked about three things. The weather, the market and my family. In order to save some time, I have summarized all of these in one handy print out. So now when I meet a buyer I can hand this to them as we jump in the car to find their paradise!
Smart Buyers will rush to buy real estate this winter. Interest rates are forecasted to rise in spring of 2010 if the Federal Reserve stops purchasing the mortgage-backed securitiees. We could see interest rates crossing 6% by the end of March 2010 if this occurs. This would mean a loss of buying power up to $60,000 for a $350,000 loan. The additional interest alone would be $108,000 more paid over the life of this loan.
Hilton Head weather is simply better! The Island is kept warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer by thermos or the ocean breezes over the warm sea(that is why you see people swimming in the ocean in January). In fact, our moderate winter days are typically warmer than other inland southern cities. As well winter months have less rain than the wetter summer months with sub tropical temperatures that are perfect for snowbirds or real estate shoppers looking for a warm weather escape. The winter is the Island’s sports season, which is perfect for golf, long beach walks, biking, tennis and most other outdoor activities.
The real estate market is healing. The market is healing from the bottom up and months of available inventory is decreasing in properties under $750,000. As these markets heal, buyers with equity will be purchasing our larger properties that offer attractive pricing. Homes will see a jump in all price points if the new housing credit passes later this week. First-time home buyers would be eligible for $8,000, but purchasers don’t have to be first-time buyers. Anyone who has owned a home for at least five years could get a $6,500 credit on a new residence.
My son’s are touring colleges. Many of my clients have been buying and selling real estate with me before I had a family. It is hard to believe for both of us that we are now looking at colleges. My wife is a great planner and has made me realise it is important not to take a chance on time. I pass this on to you as timing has never been better to buy real estate…please note time flies!
From Hilton Head Island with great winter weather, great prices and great families~

P.S. Baby Boomers are now turning 60 at the rate of 8,000 a day and represent 38% of our total population in this country. The way I see it based on 2.5 million visitors per year to Hilton Head Island, we have over 950,000 of these Baby Boomers visiting the Island with about 50,000 of them turning 60 years old every year for the next 17 years. Our recommendation is to be ahead of this herd! We are just beginning to hear the rumble.
Dear Clients, Friends & Fellow Associates ~
As a teenager, I visited the Island in the 70’s with my family. We all fell in love with the Hilton Head and one by one we all moved our families here. Visitors just like my family are doing the same thing. They have been visiting the Island for vacation and are returning to the Island when they are ready for a change in lifestyle. It is familiar and comfortable. These visitors are creating market trends that are buying property here and they include Half Backs, Be Backs, Boomers and the upcoming Generations X & Y. +++CLICK HERE TO READ MORE Here are some interesting Hilton Head links: +++CLICK HERE if you want to become a raving fan! +++CLICK HERE for a cool idea for waterfront homes! +++CLICK HERE if you need a REALTOR or Mover! +++CLICK HERE for the this weeks fantastic properties!
We are building our business on each success, this is a recommendation written by one of my clients recently: “Robbie is one of the hardest working professionals in the industry. His clear concern to his client’s needs, attention to detail, keen strategic mind, & infectious personality make him the measuring stick to which all others aspire. Highly recommended.” Call us or your Realtor and lets get things moving! Thank you.

Dear Friends, Clients and Fellow Associates~
The window of opportunity for trades is not forever. Trades have flourished in this market because sellers are looking for creative alternatives to reducing expenses or want to move up.
The key to a succesful trade is to negotiate the difference. It really does not matter what the selling prices are once you have arrived at the difference. This can be established from a recent appraisal or even fair comps from 2 years ago. The difference is the difference. Here is a list of trade properties. Please email me if you have a property in mind that you would like to trade. Thank you.
You can view many of the above properties by clicking My Listings. Please feel free to call me if you would like to discuss the process or email me at robbie@robbiebunting.com. Thank you.
Happy Trading~

This is 21 acres of the prettiest land you will ever see! This land was a horse farm in its past with 3 stocked fishing lagoons and a big restored stable. Recently it has been approved by Beaufort County for 42 home sites that range from 1/2 acre to 1 acre. The county has run the water/sewer access to the Stillwell Road property line on the New Riverside side of the property.
The location is in the geographic center of Savannah, Hilton Head Island and Beaufort. It is just down the street from Hero’s on Horseback on Stillwell Road located on Hwy 46 just outside of Bluffton. If you get to the circle you have gone too far. You will see the signs at the end of Stillwell Road.
Of course, there are many ways the land can be used. If you are a builder these 42 lots are a great plan for the future(get 10 of your friends together and each take four lots for a total of $150,000 each) or if you want to buy it sell them off individually this is a great plan for the developer or if you just want to build a house and live there this is ready for the nature lover(you could even subdivide it into larger parcels). The entire parcel complete with all the due diligence and permitting. CLICK HERE FOR ~ 121 Stillwell Plantation Flyer
Take a Sunday drive out and see this incredible land anytime as no-one lives on it…yet! The roads and access are fine. If you wish, call me first for directions, otherwise just stop by anytime.
Happy exploring.

For Sellers:
Home Sellers: Is 2009 the Right Time to Put Your Home on the Market?
As 2009 winds down, savvy home buyers are looking to leverage the Obama Administration’s Tax Credit to their optimum advantage. Slated to end on November 30th, the tax credit is sure to create some activity with buyers as 2009 winds down and the November 30th deadline looms. This might be an ideal time for some home owners to put their home on the market and take advantage of this in 2009 versus waiting until 2010. However, NOW may be the the time to move on this for many home owners.
If you would like to find out if now would be a good time to put your home on the market, I am offering a free consultation for a limited time to help home owners weigh the pros and cons in order to make the best decision. To take advantage of this offer, please contact me today to schedule an appointment. Don’t miss out.
Thank You,
Robbbie Bunting
P.S. As all homes are part of the same food chain this can have a trickle up effect to more expensive properties.
