Home and Garden

Far from unfortunate, everything’s looking up on Hilton Head Island. Except for home prices. It’s time that changed.

You don’t need to look too far to see that amazing things are going on around Hilton Head Island. Everywhere you turn, a spirit of “out with the old and in with the new” is sweeping the dust off the rock, polishing it to a glorious luster.

Weichert Realtors-Coastal Properties owners and brokers-in-charge Joe and Karen Ryan welcome Darren Yost to the agency's sales team. Originally from Cincinnati, Yost is an accomplished sales executive with over 16 years of local, regional and national sales, marketing and management experience.

When interior designer Kelly Caron goes to work at her studio in the Calhoun Street Promenade in Old Town Bluffton, she is surrounded by her work — literally. Her office reflects her creative sensibilities, full of warm tones and Lowcountry charm. Picture 200-year-old reclaimed barn wood flooring, shiplap wood board on the walls, soft colors and lanterns.

As the weather begins to turn warmer, the last thing many homeowners want to think about is prepping the lawn, garden and outdoor living spaces for the spring and summer months. Ever since Hurricane Matthew blew into town in October, we’ve been cleaning up our properties and trying to restore some order to unwelcome disorder.

After 31 consecutive years, the Lowcountry Home & Garden Show must be doing something right, thanks to its sponsor, the Hilton Head Area Home Builders Association (HHAHBA).

Engel & Völkers has given Soar/Special Olympics an office and furniture to assist their recovery. Formerly located on Cardinal Road, the Special Olympics’ office was completely wiped out by Hurricane Matthew, including furniture and equipment.

At the end of 2016, most real estate markets across the nation saw little change year over year.

But our local market activity doesn’t always follow national trends, and there can be big differences between sales on Hilton Head Island and the mainland.

H2 Builders in Bluffton has built more than 300 distinctive custom homes in the Lowcountry since 1996. Along the storied way, it has amassed countless local, regional and national industry awards. The company’s home office showcases many of them, but display space has long been exhausted.
