We had a total of 8 homes sell on Hilton Head Island last week which is much less than we would normally see this time of year.  Of the homes that sold; 2 were in Sea Pines Plantation, one in Palmetto Dunes, one in Port Royal, two in Hilton Head PLantation, one in Indigo Run and one on Shamrock Circle which is on the north end of the island.  Having this few sales puts a lot of pressure on the island.

We had 96 new homes come on the market so inventory is continuing to increase which is not good for us. 

We had 11 villas go under contract last week – one in Sea Pines Plantation, 3 in Forest BEach, one in Shipyard, 3 in Palmetto Dunes and 4 in off plantation areas.  Of the villas that went under contract, only one was listed above $500,000 – a 3-bedroom Inverness Villa in Palmetto Dunes.

We had 44 new villas come on the real estate market last week. 

We had no lot sales last week and 28 new lots came on the market.

Spring is here and March is traditionally the best time of the year for real estate sales.  Hopefully we will see more activity this coming week because there are more people on the island.  The cold weather has hurt us a little – people usually do not buy a lot of real estate when it is cold on Hilton Head.  We are looking forward to spring right around the corner.
