I grew up in Laurel, Mississippi. There was a shoe store that would have a sale once a year – buy one, get the 2nd pair for a penny. I always thought this was a great sale.
I recently saw a cartoon joking around about the real estate market in a “buy one, get one” scenario – I sure didn’t think it was funny, but it is true, you can almost buy one and get one free – or at least at a huge discount.
In fact, there are some properties that are being sold for pennies on the dollar; and when I say pennies on the dollar I mean it. I was in our local MLS the other day and there was a lot listed for $1. That’s right - not a typo – one dollar! It is absolutely hard to believe.
The condo market on Hilton Head Island is down about 50% from the top of the market in 2004 and 2005; so in theory, it’s almost like a half off sale.
The question I am continuosly asked is if we are at the bottom of the market. Unfortunately, my crystal ball broke last week, but I really think we must be getting pretty close.
If you or anyone you know is interested in picking up a great deal, NOW is the time to buy – prices are low, interest rates are low and the rentals on Hilton Head are HOT. Despite the market, the past two seasons have been the busiest for Hilton Head Rental companies which can only help with the cash flow of condos.
So get out there and take advantage of these deals while they last; that way when the market makes a rebound you’ll come out on top.

I can’t stress enough how great some of the values are in the Hilton Head Island real estate market! NOW I have a little reinforcement.
Hilton Head Island was named as one the of Top 10 Hottest Vacation Real Estate Markets.
Clear Capital, which specializes in real-estate asset valuation, looked at 22 popular vacation destinations in the U.S. Using areas for which consistent sale data were available, it identified 10 markets as worth watching, based on the drop in their median price per square foot since the market peak, price stability and potential for appreciation.

I just shot a television program on WHHI discussing the local Hilton Head Island real estate market. The commentator asked me how the busiest 30 days of the year went. Through April 25th we had a lot of activity on the island – the Heritage Golf Tournament, great weather, Easter and lots of vacationers.
I think buyers and sellers are finally getting on the same page. Time has a way of changing those things and I think most sellers have realized that in order to sell they need to adjust their price to current market conditions. Sellers can liquidate their properties and buyers can get great deals.
To get the market to turn around we need to liquidate some inventory and we seem to be doing that. We have to get out of the hole that has been dug and it takes time to get back to level solid ground, but I think we are on our way.
Keep an eye out for my latest program – I’ll post it when it’s available.

I recently took a trip to New York City to visit my son. I was on my way to Laguardia in a cab and once we hit the tunnel we came to a complete stop. We couldn’t tell what was going on – we just inched our way through the tunnel.
I was beginning to wonder if and when we would ever get out of there; but finally, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel and we discovered a wreck that had caused the slowdown.
This is kind of how I have felt about the Hilton Head Island real estate market; it has been very slow for the past several year, but I feel like we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and things could be turning around.
I think all lights are green - NOW is a great time to buy!
