Great News for Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island Real Estate Buyers

Enter All Post Content Here.

Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island real estate sales NEWS…NEWS…NEWS!!! What is he most asked question in the land of vacation properties?

“How are sales?” The answer, surprisingly in the face of all the negative reports, is “not bad.” In 2010 Kiawah Island sales reached $300 million up an amazing 71% from 2009. Seabrook Island also enjoyed a sales rise to $51 million up 41% from 2009. The best news for buyers is that prices on both islands have decreased approximately 30% from their peak. Put these two conditions together and you have a market where properties are substantially more affordable and buyers are stepping up and buying. If the market continues this trend we should begin to see a rise in selling prices as inventory falls. If you are considering a second home in the sunny south or a permanent move from the cold dreary winters of the north it is time to give us a call and learn what opportunities currently exist. Whether you are interested in a luxury home, scenic cottage, or oceanfront villa, our Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island real estate agents have the most current listing information and look forward to sharing it with you! Visit our real estate sales office on Betsy Kerrison Parkway or visit our sales page to view current opportunities.
