Hilton Head Island: First day of Fall

Yesterday, as I was walking along Forest Beach, I noticed a lone figure sitting in the sand watching a beautiful sunrise. It was the first day of Fall, and it turned out to be a gorgeous day with a slight breeze, temperatures in the 80’s and Carolina Blue Skies. 

The figure was a young woman and I imagined that she was contemplating her day’s activities on Hilton Head Island. As an Island resident for over 30 years, I can tell you that September and October are two of the best months to visit our paradise. You will find vacationers and locals alike playing golf and tennis. Our uncrowded beaches offer a wonderful opportunity for biking, fishing, bird watching and sunbathing.

Fall is also a great time to look at Hilton Head Real Estate. Second homes and villas have never been more affordable. Besides having great choices of resale properties, there are a number of Short Sales and Foreclosures always available. Local banks have rates under 5% and are making loans every day.
 
In addition, you will find outstanding accommodations available at reasonable rates. The prices will vary with location, number of bedrooms and décor. There are many Rental Websites Available with high definition photos and in depth descriptions. Come for a week, month or a long weekend.
 
Fall on Hilton Head Island is an unforgettable experience. If our island intrigues you and you are curious about real estate, visit Hilton Head Island’s Number One Real Estate Website. Or, if you have general questions, just send me an email.

To Rent or Not to Rent- Hilton Head Island Vacation Property

Not surprisingly, many who vacation on Hilton Head Island eventually decide to buy a home or villa on Hilton Head Island, as a second home to enjoy with family and friends or as a future retirement home. Real estate industry studies show that less than half of those who own beach houses or oceanfront condos purchased their properties with an intent to rent to vacationers. Yet more than 50% of these who do rent their homes are covering at least half their mortgage by renting, according to a 2009 study. If you think you might rent out your Hilton Head Island home, location is very important. Beach houses and condos in Sea Pines (especially those close to Harbourtown), Palmetto Dunes, North and South Forest Beach and Shipyard are very attractive to vacationers. Families who vacation on Hilton Head want to rent homes and condos that are close to the beach, have a pool and are tip top condition. If you're thinking about purchasing property on Hilton Head Island, I can help you assess its potential as a Hilton Head Island vacation rental.  Email or call Randy Smith 843-785-9500 (Toll Free 866-785-9501).
