Indications show that the 2010 rental season will be better than the 2009! 
The landscape of the vacation rental industry has changed over the last several years. The trend has been to book vacation plans closer to arrival date. The vast amount of information available on the Internet has enabled the potential guest to check availability and have numerous selections to choose from, eliminating the “sense of urgency” that we experienced in the prior years. As the economy weakened, the mindset of the traveler was to hang on to their money as long as possible. Read the rest of this entry

If the market is not coming to you, you must go to the market!
Today, the Hilton Head real estate market is determined by home buyers. If a property is getting little to no activity and has not yet had an offer, it can be assumed that the property is out of market. Agents that have these properties listed will start tweaking their marketing programs and increasing their efforts often to no avail. It is up to the seller to fix this by adjusting the value and this nursery rhyme gives you the reason!

A natural high.
The Hilton Head bridge allows all those that cross over a chance to transition. Some are leaving behind their stress, others are reaching for more time together, while others are simply returning from Home Depot. One of the best parts about living on an Island is that we have a bridge to remind us of the natural beauty that surrounds us. Everytime we cross the bridge towards the Island, we get a natural high and are reminded to slow down in life(and speed) as we hit the pavement. So what does the bridge mean to its visitors, its residents and to you?
Parachute everything on arrival to the Island!
For Island visitors the bridge offers a chance to leave everything behind and start anew. It can be seen in every visitors face as they cross over the bridge for more important things in life including time with family, time with nature and time to breathe. The bridge allows all of us to parachute the things we wish to leave behind as we cross over to Hilton Head Island.
Jumpstart tired batteries!
For the second home owner, the bridge is a jumpstart to their tired batteries. As this group heads over their bridge, they feel recharged as they head to their place of personal power. The bridge gives them the chance to think about all the great things they work so hard for. Crossing over the water triggers memories of all the wonderful things ahead.
The luckiest group of all!
For the full time resident, we are the luckiest group of all. Sometimes though it takes crossing the bridge to remind us of everyting we have. Perhaps it should be an “Islander Requirement” to cross the bridge at least once a week to refresh our reasons for living here.
As you cross over the Hilton Head Island bridge, what are your thoughts? It is my hope that as you cross over that you feel recharged, that you leave your stress behind and that you breathe a sigh of gratitude. If you wish to join the luckiest group, email us at islandrealtor@hargray.com .
