Welcome to Hilton Head Island Real Estate’s Best Season!
Posted by Bill True on
The SUVs and minivans that arrived one after the other, week after week during the summer, packed to the brim with suitcases, beach chairs, floats, anxious children, and the frisky Golden have departed, each carrying back home sweet memories of another island vacation. School is back in session and families are resettling into their familiar routines with thoughts of next summer’s trip dancing in their heads.
As Summer Vacation Season Cools Down...
It’s now the middle of September and Hilton Head’s “high-season” has wound down. Just like that, the visitors have gone.
Golfing and fishing season is in full swing! It’s easier to get a reservation at your favorite restaurant, there are a few open tee times at Harbour Town Golf Links, the new…

You’ve waited long enough. The market is stable, mortgage rates are low, the long, hard winter is over (you’ll never do that again) and you’re ready to purchase a property on Hilton Head where it’s always inviting and pleasant, whether you’re at the beach, on the course, at the garden, strolling alongside nature in the forest preserves or sipping Southern sweet tea on your back porch. You know the island, you’ve decided on a community and a price point—or maybe you aren’t quite as familiar with it as you feel you need to be and want more information on neighborhoods, pricing, etc. Either way, you know it’s where you want to be. And that’s where the professional Realtors at Lancaster Real Estate Sales (HiltonHeadHomes.com) come into the picture.
To be sure, spring is a wonderful time to be on the Island. Every year, the reawakening is a welcome respite from the long winter’s wrath (though our winters are typically quite tolerable with very few unseasonable temps). We have entered the time that second-home and villa owners block their calendars to be here, to play golf, to take long walks on the beach, to spend time with family and friends, to entertain, to shop, to dine out, to wind down….to escape. Showings for existing…
Life events—from career choices to marriage, from having children and upsizing homes to adjusting to an empty nest, from retirement to downsizing again—all necessitate a considerable amount of preparing, organizing and arranging. Success doesn’t just happen; one must strategize, forecast, and calculate. Planning is everything; but enjoying the fruits of one’s labor and dedication must fall somewhere on the continuum. That is where a place at the beach comes into play. From summer escapes to lifetime destinations, there are properties for sale on HiltonHeadHomes.com that match your desires, needs and wants—close to the beach, in a gated community or a non-gated neighborhood, all with access world-class amenities.
Real estate is an ever-evolving industry. It is enduring, it is endearing and it is enticing. The power of the real estate market—in general and, more important, locally—cannot be understated. The last few years have brought about countless changes in our economy, our outlook and our lives. Some of the changes were anticipated; others were unexpected. Still, others were out of our control, put in place by politicians who did not have our best interests at heart. Naysayers prophesized that real estate would never come back and declared that money spent on real estate was money wasted. Sellers scrambled and buyers bargained. Distress properties were the primary topic of conversation from closed-door board meetings to open-air oyster roasts. Was real estate…
You’ve been coming to Hilton Head Island for years. In fact, you are a “regular.” You know the island’s secret fishing spots, can navigate the Sea Pines Circle without incident and you have your favorite hang-outs. Why, even some of the locals know you by name. You made an impression on the Island; moreover, the Island made its impression on you—for you actually consider Hilton Head to be your second home. Except that you have to rent a place every time you visit. Many of the vacation condos, homes and villas are quite nice, but maybe it’s time to consider purchasing a place of your own.
