LEAN ON YOUR REALTOR. LET THEM BE YOUR EYES.

We have said it before, and we’ll say it again… COMMUNITY FIRST! Buyers need to begin their search by looking at different neighborhoods before they start their search exclusively for a new home. It just makes things so much easier for them. Other markets are different, but in the Bluffton and Hilton Head Island real estate market, each neighborhood has its own flair, feel, and vibe. Everything matters including the amenities, transfer/initiation fees, HOA/POA fees, location, views, and age demographics (55+ neighborhoods vs. traditional neighborhoods?). We have buyers that really want to find the perfect house and begin their search without understanding the nuances of local neighborhoods. This is especially true for those buyers that begin their home…

The Million Dollar Question

Everywhere I go people keep asking about my thoughts on the local real estate market. Is it going to flatten? Will home prices go down if we wait to buy? How is rising inflation, and how are the interest rates affecting the local real estate market? Should I buy now? I don’t want to miss the market, should I sell now? First of all, we don’t have a crystal ball. There are so many factors involved in this equation that we can’t predict but we can look towards the past. History is the greatest predictor of the future. That being said, we are in unique times, and we would never have been able to predict that a worldwide pandemic would spur the wild west type real estate market of the last two years! As the world settles down, history is still the greatest…
