Many companies report their quarterly sales – I’ve seen all kinds of numbers floating around comparing 2009 to 2010.  I thought we should look at these statistics for the Hilton Head Island real estate market.

For the first quarter of 2009 we had 562 homes sell in Hilton Head MLS, compared to 670 sales in 2010.

We had 304 villa sales in 2009, versus 325 sales in 2010; for a total of  787 sales in 2009 versus 984 in 2010 which gives us a 24% increase in properties sold.

This tells us that even though prices are decreasing in the Hilton Head real estate market, people are buying property.

For buyers, get in there and take advantage of some of the great purchasing opportunities.
