Hilton Head Island Real Estate Market is UP

The wonderful beaches and many amenities that initially attracted Hilton Head Island home owners to the area is the very thing that makes the Island resilient in recession times. The Hilton Head Island real estate market has been affected like the remainder of the country, however; like in the past, it will be one of the first areas to recover as reflected below.

Hilton Head homes, Hilton Head villas and Hilton Head lot sales increased 16.159 River Club Drive, Indigo Run% to 2,486 units in 2010 from 2009, as reported by the South Carolina Realtors Association.  Out of the 15 markets tracked in South Carolina, Beaufort County shows the best marks. Despite the increase in sales, prices remain depressed mainly because of the remaining foreclosures on the market. Hilton Head’s 2010 median sales price of $234,900 was down 11.7% from 2009 and 34.8% from 2006. This continues to confirm that now is the time to buy real estate on Hilton Head Island before the prices begin to rise. The savvy homebuyer is taking advantage of these bargain basement prices.
 
The number of available foreclosures in our resort communities: Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes, Shipyard, Forest Beach, Port Royal and Hilton Head Plantation, are decreasing. As these foreclosed homes decrease, there will be less competition and the prices will begin to rise. Check out the remaining Hilton Head foreclosures. Everybody loves a good sale and all of Hilton Head is on sale. Don’t wait….the sale may end soon and unfortunately there are no rain checks. Buy now as the Hilton Head Real Estate market starts to recover.
