SCARE INVENTORY EXPECTED TO SHAPE FUTURE OF HOME SALES
As a veteran real estate pro and farmer, James Wedgeworth knows this to be true: “You can’t sell from an empty wagon.”
Which is his way of saying scarce inventory will shape the market for home sales — nationally and in Hilton Head — in the months ahead.
“It’s about a lack of inventory,” said Wedgeworth, co-founder of Charter One Realty and Marketing, noting that the number of homes available for sale has declined monthly for most of this year.
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN HOME-TECH TRENDS
If you can dream it, we can build it.
It sounds like a marketing slogan. But when it comes to smart home technology, what once felt more like fictional thinking out of a movie is becoming both doable and affordable.
If you live in the Lowcountry year-round, chances are your friends who live elsewhere are jealous. This area’s beautiful beaches, world-class resorts and wide selection of restaurants, shopping and activities make the the Lowcountry a top vacation destination, and a great place to call home.
Whether your rental property is a vacation villa by the ocean or a home for a family, professional management companies can provide peace of mind.
Owning rental property in the Lowcountry is full of rewards. Chief among them is the opportunity to enjoy your own piece of paradise.
Think about being able to rejuvenate. To reconnect with family friends. To be immersed in the relaxing comforts of our community.

LOWCOUNTRY MARKET SIZZLES DURING THE SUMMER
The superheated market for Lowcountry home sales sizzled into summer, with no sign of significant slowing.
Scarce inventory, low interest rates and a pandemic-inspired trend to work from home are driving sales and pushing prices for homes on Hilton Head and Bluffton.
TRENDS THAT HELP PERSONALIZE THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE
Dorm rooms have improved from the cramped, smelly versions of the past. Colleges realize that students crave some of the comforts of home. Students want their rooms to suit their personal style, whether they are into art, sports, music or even just a particular color.
College is a major step. A well-thought-out dorm environment is helpful as students move into a different life stage.
Since the start of the pandemic, gardening has become a popular hobby. Studies have shown that incorporating plants around your home can reduce stress and anxiety, improve your mood and boost productivity. If you’re a pet owner, it’s good to know which plants are safe for your pets to be around and which ones to avoid.
