There was a lot of excitement in the air with the arrival of Easter and the Heritage Golf Tournament this year. With a new title sponsor of RBC and the presenting sponsor of Boeing, it's reported that tickets sales were up for the tournament. It is a fantastic event and one that only Hilton Head Island can host.
This time of the year also coincides with one of best real-estate selling seasons of the year and it is a rather narrow window of 30-40 days. The real estate market continues to be heading in a positive direction here on Hilton Head Island. If you have your home priced properly you should be experiencing a lot of showing activity. If you are not getting offers you may want to adjust the Listing Price. The buyers are ready and making offers on those properties they feel are fair market value. A key factor here is price adjusting to match the market conditions.
Sellers are definitely getting better at pricing their properties correctly. They are realizing that a number of aspects in today's market can work against a seller. Holding on to higher pricing, waiting on the "right" buyer, waiting for lower priced inventory to clear and extended negotiations are not in their favor.
The motivating reasons to buy on Hilton Head finally outweigh the reasons to wait. An overall confidence factor, better cash flow, better interest rates, better conditioned properties and realistic pricing.

ZIP Codes: 29928, 29926 Location Characteristics: Hilton Head Island is a wonderful place to visit...and is truly an amazing place to live. Located along the south Atlantic coast off South Carolina, Hilton Head Island is a boot shaped barrier island approximately 12 miles long and 5 miles wide. Hilton Head is one of the most popular resort communities in the United States. Most people come to Hilton Head Island to take advantage of the wonderful weather and beautiful natural environment. The island has miles of pristine beaches, beautiful marshland for kayaking, and over 100 miles of bike paths that are surrounded by Live Oaks draped in Spanish Moss. With over 20 golf courses and over 300 tennis courts, it's no wonder Hilton Head Island is also known as a great golf and tennis destination.
But the best of this island does not stop there. Hilton Head Island offers the finest ports of call on the southeastern coast in combination with its many resort luxuries. For more than three decades the Hilton Head Island community has been a celebrated landmark for yachtsmen who cruise the Intracoastal Waterway. Along the 244 miles from Charleston, South Carolina to Florida's state line, the ICW abandons the common canals and dredged cuts to wind its way across wide river mouths, through spectacular sounds, and behind and across coastal inlets. All are quite navigable and offer magnificent views of the Hilton Head and Lowcountry environment. Charleston is a half-day cruise away making for a long weekend excursion. Whereas ports in Georgia make for a fun week of cruising, you can also plan longer boating trips to the Florida Keys and beyond. These waterways are rich in natural beauty and wildlife. You will see porpoises playing alongside, in the bow wave or even behind shrimp boats during seasonal harvesting.
If you're looking for pleasant layovers, historic places to visit, fine dining and beautiful wildlife environments, cruising the ICW with Hilton Head Island as your home port is the experience of a lifetime.
