A Hilton Head Realtors "Point of View"

What's ahead for the fall real estate market...(Please take notes as there may be a pop quiz next quarter.)

Good news! Buyers are beginning to worry that they may miss out on pricing and low interest rates which is increasing buyer traffic and sales activity on Hilton Head Island. Buyers continue to shop on the internet before their arrival and only properties that are properly priced (1-5% over market value) will make "their" short list.

Buyers are competing for the best properties.  There can be multiple properties for sale on a given street, complex or community but only the best condition, best location and best priced property will get multiple showings and any offers from potential buyers. Sellers that cannot accept this will sit until someday when "they" are ready to move.

The best timing.  The fact is there is never a perfect time to buy or sell a home. Only in hindsight do we realize that our timing was good, or maybe not so good. That said, it's important not to be paralyzed by the fear of not selling at the top or buying at the bottom or financing at rock-bottom rates.  The key is to just get in the game and get started as soon as you can.
