Hilton Head Buyers won’t pay over fair market

Used to be that if we priced our properties a bit high we would still get an offer. Today with an “overstocked” market we now have to be within 3-5% of what the property is expected to sell for before we even get an offer to work with. This is because buyers can now go “window shopping” with their computers.  Buyers today do not have to physically visit a property to determine value. This takes the bidding process out almost altogether. If the buyer does not see value when they are “window shopping” on their computers they don’t ever step foot in the property, hence no showings or even bids on overpriced properties.

We met with Steve Wilmot, the Tournament Director for The RBC Heritage locally sponsored by Boeing. Steve shares with us how this PGA Tournament provides benefits to the local community from its worldwide coverage. I think this is the very best real estate marketing program we have. The tournament fuels our local and state businesses to the tune of around $80 million dollars in economic impact.  We all benefit from the RBC Heritage in some way whether you are a seller, buyer, business person, visitor or local.   On a Realtor level a simple link to one of our websites can help with ticket sales and introduce new and returning visitors to the Island, a great time of year and great golf.  If you would like to explore ways you can get involved, please visit Heritage Foundations Website.

Recently with the announcement of The RBC Heritage we have seen new interest and energy move into the Hilton Head Real Estate market.  As an Islander The Heritage is about PGA Golf but it is also about an Island celebrating spring with azaleas blooming and happy suntan people enjoying the Low Country.  The tournament is also an economic engine for the area. The Clemson/USCB Economic Impact Study done for 2010 indicates more than $81 million in economic benefits occur here in Beaufort County during tournament week alone.   With about 1,100 jobs created and another $10 million in state and local tax benefits we are feeling the effects already!
