Hilton Head Real Estate

In case you missed it, vacant home-sites are selling at some very compelling prices on Hilton Head.  I was doing some exploring for a client of mine recently and could not believe the value found in this category of ownership on Hilton Head Island.   Lot prices have been beat up and have been pushed down and timing has never been better to buy land in the Hilton Head Area.  Do you remember Rick Murray’s article on supply and demand “Spotted Bananas”?

Here’s the skinny on the upcoming delinquent tax sale for Beaufort  County.  The opening bid  includes, delinquent taxes for 2010, all penalties and fees, plus the current year taxes for 2011. This is the minimum opening bid.  They accept Visa!  Owners will have up to 12 months to redeem their real property paying you interest for the time that you carried the property (interest shall not exceed the opening bid).  If real property is not redeemed, a delinquent tax sale deed is issued to the successful bidder.  All stamp fees and preparation costs must be paid prior to the deed recording and the property is deeded lien free.   If you would like to do a little digging or due diligence on any of the properties, give me a call at (843)842-0805 or send me an email at robbie@robbiebunting.com.

I believe short sales are misunderstood and under-marketed.  For some reason the majority of buyers walk in or call us about foreclosures and never ask about short sales.  Seems to me the benefits of the short sale out-weight the faster closing foreclosure in many ways for all involved.  While short sales in the past got a bad rap, when we put a negotiator into place we are now 90% successful on closing our short sales.

Although some properties today are selling “as-is” usually there is some time frame that Hilton Head sellers will give a buyer to complete a property inspection.    While property inspections cost about $500 dollars depending on the size and type of property, they are well worth this out of pocket cost for the purchaser.  Within a few days the home inspector will send via email photos and detailed information about the property that helps a buyer understand their new property and may identify any areas that may require more review.
