Overview
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
The number one reason people buy real estate on Hilton Head Island is
simple. They love it here. Many people who live on Hilton Head Island as
full time residents today, have been vacationing here, year after year,
long before they made this their permanent home.
People typically don‘t move here because their jobs are here. After all,
and the Lowcountry is not the heart of commerce. The fact of the matter though
is that most people can‘t live here year round as their careers are fully
rooted elsewhere. This doesn‘t stop them from purchasing real estate though.
Those that wish to retire here one day in the future, are buying real estate
here today at current market prices to avoid paying much higher prices when they
are at retirement age.
With the brisk level of tourism to this popular resort island, one can
expect to offset a significant portion of the cost of a home, or villa
by renting their property on a short term (weekly or monthly) basis. Another
way to invest is through fractional ownership in one of the many high quality
resort timeshare interests available on Hilton Head Island. Hilton Head
Island has proven to provide above average real estate appreciation over
the past twenty years.
While it is true the real estate market is currently experiencing a down-turn
across the nation, some experts believe Hilton Head Island will be one of the
first real estate markets to rebound for some of the following reasons:
- this planned eco-friendly island is one of the most unique communities in the
nation
- they aren‘t making any more barrier islands
- baby boomers have been vacationing here for decades and are ready to retire
here
- relatively speaking Hilton Head Island is underpriced as compared to other
resort communities
- supply of island properties is at or near its capacity (while demand is growing
rapidly)
