Hilton Head Real Estate

Dear Clients, Friends & Fellow Associates ~

At this time of year, Islanders reclaim the Island.  This week we found several links we use at this time of year on Hilton Head Island.  These include gym memberships, early birds,our pool guy, a play and rowing memberships.  Of course, if you are looking to make a move this winter, we have some great properties at www.robbiebunting.com.

Get in Shape in Style!  
The WestinWORKOUT® Gym facilities on Hilton Head are designed to accommodate a full range of activities including: Running, Jogging, Walking, Bicycling, Weightlifting, Calisthenics, Swimming(heated indoor and outdoor), Yoga, Pilates, Water Aerobics, BodySculpting, and Stretch & Tone. They offer 1 day, 30 day or annual memberships for Islanders…check it out by calling (843) 681-1040.  Click here to see the photos of the gym.

Go to an Early Bird or happy hour! 
During the busy season this is hard to do, but at this time of year we can go visit our old favorites and even hit an early bird with out too much of a wait.  The Old Oyster Factory offers the best sunset dining on the Island. Enjoy superb, innovative seafood and steaks while taking in one of the Low Country’s best panoramic views of Broad Creek.  While there check out the rowing club underneath. Click for their happy hours and dining specials.

Learn to Row!
Located beneath the Old Oyster Factory is Palmetto Rowing Club.  This group loves to be on the water and offers membership and instruction that will take you from a tub to a shell.  Don’t worry about equipment as your membership will get you use of their small fleet.  They had me rowing in less than two months.  It is a wonderful sport and the people are great.  Call John at (843)842.6984 or e-mail: palmetto_rowing@yahoo.com or visit there website at www.palmettorowingclub.com/index.asp  

See a Show!
With only eight shows the Nutcracker is an Island tradition.  The dates are 11/7-15/09 performed by the Hilton Head Dance Theatre.  This is a full length, classical ballet at The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina! Tickets 843-842-2787  http://www.hhdt.org

Get ready for 2010!
Do you want a pool?  Audrey and Dan Geoffroy run this family owned pool company.  When we finally decided to build our pool our goal was to recreate a pool that we enjoy in Costa Rico.  Not only did Dan help us with this in our very challenging space, he also made it a saltwater pool like the pool we loved.  Coastal pools offers a free design and consultation for anyone even thinking of someday adding a pool…but why wait because the price is right.  They can be reached at (843)683-4812 or danyg@aol.com

We hope that these contacts serve you well.  If you have a company or know of a company that you would like to submit to us for our Islander Links email robbie@robbiebunting.com.  If you do visit or contact any of the above friends or services, please be sure to mention to that you found their contact information on www.bloghiltonheadrealtor.com   Thank you.

Dear Clients, Friends & Fellow Associates ~

“The Winter” offers great weather on Hilton Head Island. Currently we are enjoying “chamber of commerce” days on the Island with temperatures in the 70’s and 80’s, blue skies and spectacular sunsets. The Island is kept warm by thermos(ocean breezes) over the warm sea. These sub tropical temperatures on Hilton Head Island are perfect for snowbirds or real estate shoppers looking for a warm weather escape. In fact, the winter is described as the sports season with perfect weather for golf, long beach walks, biking, tennis and other outdoor activities.

The Real Estate Market is quite busy with the market building from the bottom up and the top down. We are selling villas and homes under $750,000 at a fairly regular and predictable rate. With the forecast that interest rates may be on the rise in Spring 2010, buyers right now are seizing a timing opportunity for property, price and rates. 

As the market heals, we are seeing more activity in the upper price ranges on the Island as buyers bring their equity from up North to Hilton Head Island. The middle of our market are properties priced $800,000 – 2 million and offer much value after 2 years of adjustments.  

Of course, we have can arrange special travel packages at discounted rates for your next visit with our corporate agreements with other rental companies.  So before booking a villa, home or resort on Hilton Head Island, let Jane and I know your dates and preferences for your visit(by e-mail) and we will see how much we can save you.

From a great Island to visit in the Winter Months~
