About five years ago I had a couple call me to do an updated market analysis of their home on Hilton Head Island.  At that time they decided not to sell.

About a month ago they called me and asked me to come back to their home to give them an idea of what their home would sell for in today’s real estate market.  I think that one of the first things I told them was that they were going to wish that they had sold five years ago. 

I was surprised when they said that they were happy they did not sell then and that now was the right time to sell for them. 

As a real estate agent, I often look at everything in regards to value and price.  I think this couple had the right idea – they said that they valued their time in their home and said that no money in the world could make up for the happy times they had there – but that now it was time to move. 

I think this is especially true in a place like Hilton Head, South Carolina where you can have so many great experiences and memories.  So remember, the cost of a home is not always measured in dollars….
