In 2018 the Greater Bluffton housing market continues to be on fire, again setting the record for the all-time best first quarter, according to statistics from the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Area Multiple Listing Service. In the boom years prior to The Great Recession, first quarter homes sales in Greater Bluffton, which includes all of southern Beaufort County except Hilton Head and Daufuskie Islands, peaked in 2006 at 252 sales. As you can see in the chart to the left, in first quarter of 2018 441 homes were sold, bettering the pre-recession peak by an extraordinary 75%! As the demand for Greater Bluffton continues to outpace supply, the median price has risen 5.5% from last year and is at an all-time high. With increasing demand and today’s historically low interest rates, it is an exceptional time to invest in real estate in our area.

This information is based on data provided by Multiple Listing Service of Hilton Head Island, Inc. (“HHIMLS”) for the period January 2018 through April 4, 2018.

In 2018 the Greater Bluffton housing market continues to be on fire, again setting the record for the all-time best first quarter, according to statistics from the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Area Multiple Listing Service. In the boom years prior to The Great Recession, first quarter homes sales in Greater Bluffton, which includes all of southern Beaufort County except Hilton Head and Daufuskie Islands, peaked in 2006 at 252 sales. As you can see in the chart to the left, in first quarter of 2018 441 homes were sold, bettering the pre-recession peak by an extraordinary 75%! As the demand for Greater Bluffton continues to outpace supply, the median price has risen 5.5% from last year and is at an all-time high. With increasing demand and today’s historically low interest rates, it is an exceptional time to invest in real estate in our area.
