Hilton Head Island, SC – Based on recent market research, buyers and sellers didn’t negotiate as much in last month on Hilton Head Island.  The average list to sell price hovered in the 95% range for homes and villas in almost all price categories on the Island.  Factors that may have contributed to this include good pricing, falling inventories and relatively stable prices.  Listed below are some other observations we noted in our market research.

Great news.  The Island is now going to create a waterfront sailing and rowing club.  Down Squire Pope Road this property will replace the location for the rowing club under the Old Oyster Factory.  Which brings back many great memories and we are thankful we had this location.  What a great Island we live on.  Must mention my wife Laurie for resurrecting the rowing club for our High School Students a few years ago.  Of course, she did this with our son in mind and her commitment, passion and dedication carries forward..click on Hilton Head rowing, sailing center plans speed forward – Beaufort News – IslandPacket.com.

We have our own language when it comes to Hilton Head real estate.  We say villas, regimes, harbours and complexes when others would call them condos, condo fees, marinas, PUD’s and projects.  We use the word regime for condos in Hilton Head because when a condo is built in South Carolina, a Horizontal Property Regime is formed and recorded.  This regime than manages the common property going forward.  This blog is about regimes fees on Hilton Head Island.
