Fall is quickly approaching, bringing with it one of the best times to enjoy Hilton Head Island. The pace is a little slower, the crowds lighter, and the weather couldn’t be more perfect. From the Italian Heritage Festival and Gullah Food Festival to the Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegance in October, there’s no shortage of events and celebrations to keep the season lively.
This year has been a very different story for real estate compared to last fall. The Herman & Davis Team has been busier than ever, and the energy among buyers feels completely renewed. With no election distractions as we saw in 2024, 2025 has brought a fresh mindset—buyers are prepared and ready to move when the right property becomes available.
The story remains consistent on Hilton Head Island: inventory continues to climb, up 33% year-to-date, with new listings increasing 14%. This additional supply has supported a 15% jump in sales. Even with more homes coming to market, inventory remains tight at just over 3 months, keeping conditions favorable for sellers. Prices continue their upward trend, with the median home price rising 8% so far this year to $1,160,000. Average days on market have edged up slightly to 60 days, reflecting a pace that’s still historically strong.
Bluffton real estate market shows a steady pattern. Inventory rose by only 5.4% year-over-year, with new listings up 9.3%. Sales activity gained just 1.5%, while the median price held steady around $560,000. With approximately 5 months of inventory, Bluffton now represents what many would describe as a “balanced market,” offering opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
