April’s Real Estate Reality Check: What the Numbers Actually Say About Bluffton & Hilton Head

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…

What’s the Deal with Countertops? Redoing Your Kitchen Without Losing Your Mind (Or Your Style)

Let’s talk countertops.
Because somewhere between "I'm just going to update the cabinets" and "Why does my entire house look like a construction site?"—you’ll find yourself staring into the abyss of countertop choices like you're about to take the SATs.

Now here’s a little behind-the-scenes honesty:

David and I have been dreaming about redoing our kitchen for years. YEARS. You’d think, as Realtors, we’d know exactly what we want—we see beautiful kitchens all the time. (We also see some dogs, let’s be honest.) But even we are as confused as everyone else when it comes to choosing countertops.

The Clock Is Ticking: Why “Days on Market” Matter More Than You Think

In the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton real estate market, you'll often hear seasoned Realtors talking about “days on market”—and for good reason. This isn’t just industry lingo we toss around to sound savvy. It’s one of the most telling metrics that can make or break your sale.

Let’s unpack why.

The First 30 to 45 Days Are Everything

The clock starts ticking the moment your listing goes live, and the first few weeks are when your home is at its peak in terms of buyer interest. Why? Because most buyers are actively scouring new inventory. They’ve set up alerts, they’re working with agents, and they’re ready to pounce when something good comes along. That means your home’s best shot at attracting qualified, motivated buyers happens right at…

Why Pricing Your Home Right From Day One Is the Key to Selling in Today’s Market

In today’s real estate market, pricing your home correctly right out of the gate isn’t just smart—it’s essential.

Many sellers are tempted to “test the market” by pricing high with the intention to drop later. While it may sound like a savvy strategy, the truth is, testing the market rarely works. In fact, it often backfires.

The First 30 Days Are Everything

When your home hits the market, it makes its biggest impact in the first 30 days. That’s when serious buyers and their agents are paying the most attention—searching for what’s new, what’s well-priced, and what fits their needs.

If your home is overpriced during this critical window, buyers may scroll past it entirely. Worse yet, if it lingers on the market too long, people start…
