The Lowcountry is heating up—and we don’t just mean the temperature. As we roll into the heart of summer, one of the biggest questions we're hearing is:

"What’s my home really worth right now?"

Whether you're in Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, or one of the many incredible gated communities in between, it's a smart question—and one that deserves more than a ballpark Zestimate.

Let’s take a real look at where things stand right now—and what it means for your equity.

Now that we’re heading into June 2025, it’s the perfect time to look back at the spring market—especially April—and make a little sense of the uncertainty we’ve all been feeling.

Yes, there’s been economic noise. Interest rates have kept everyone guessing. Global instability hasn’t helped. And if you’ve been watching the headlines instead of the actual data, you’d think real estate had pulled over and put on its hazard lights.

But here’s the truth: the Lowcountry real estate market is in a much better place than you might think. In fact, April gave us a solid reality check—and a lot to feel good about.

Hard numbers are real numbers. They don’t care about hype, headlines, or hesitation. And the numbers from April? They tell a story of…

The Lowcountry summer brings sunshine, tourists, and—if you're selling—a golden opportunity to impress potential buyers. But with the heat, humidity, and bright natural light, comes a unique set of staging rules that can make or break that first impression.

Here are tried-and-true summer staging tips, tailored specifically for Hilton Head Island and Bluffton homes:

1. Let There Be Light (Even in Summer!)

It may be bright outside, but don’t skip flipping on those lights! Buyers eat up bright interiors. Make sure every room feels light, open, and inviting:

  • Turn on overhead lights, lamps, and under-cabinet lighting.

  • Pull back the drapes or blinds.

  • Replace outdated bulbs with soft daylight LEDs for a clean, welcoming…

Better Advice. Smarter Strategy. Stronger Results.

Let’s be honest—buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial and emotional moves you’ll ever make. And in a place like Bluffton or Hilton Head Island, where homes are as unique as the people who live in them, you need more than just “an agent.” You need a REALTOR®—with a capital R—who brings serious experience, honest advice, and real strategy to the table.

That’s where we come in.

Why It Matters Who Represents You

Whether you're buying your dream home, downsizing after decades, or getting ready to list a property you’ve loved for years, who you choose to work with truly matters.

Let’s be honest—real estate is not the same market it was a year ago. Or even six months ago. In Bluffton and Hilton Head Island, we're seeing shifting trends, more selective buyers, and sellers trying to make sense of it all. The truth is, we're in what industry pros call a skills-based market—and that changes everything.

Right now, it’s not about who knows how to open a lockbox or post a listing on the MLS. It’s about who can actually get the deal done—with strategy, confidence, and the right tools. That’s why hiring a skilled REALTOR®—emphasis on the capital “R”—matters more than ever.

What Does “Skills-Based Market” Even Mean?

Great question. A skills-based market is one where properties no longer sell themselves (if they ever really…

At The Cobb Group, we get the love of animals—because we’re a team of pet lovers ourselves. Allison and David have three dogs (plus a bird!), and Natalie has two sweet pups and a cat who definitely run the household. We know firsthand how our pets bring joy, comfort, and personality into our homes.

But we’ve also taken out hundreds of buyers over the years—and here’s the reality: not every buyer is an animal person.

As much as we love our fur babies, when it comes time to list a home, we always encourage our sellers to put on their buyer hats. That means looking at their home with fresh eyes and asking, “What would I want to see if I were buying this home?”

The goal is to create a clean, inviting, and neutral space—one that appeals…
