More Homes Are Hitting the Market: What Lowcountry Sellers Need to Do Differently in Fall 2026
The Fall 2026 housing market is giving buyers something they have not enjoyed in several years: more choices.
For sellers, that does not mean homes have stopped selling. It means the margin for error has narrowed. A property that is priced accurately, presented beautifully and marketed to the right audiences…

We are extremely grateful to Drew Butler and his team for going above and beyond in helping us sell our condo in Hilton Head. His marketplace expertise, initiative, responsiveness, and communications helped us achieve our goals while feeling totally supported every step of the way. He is one of the most knowledgeable, effective, and supportive realtors we’ve ever worked with and unequivocally recommend him.
Richard was a great asset in helping us find a Hilton Head location. He understood what our goals were and what type of home we wanted. He was on top of things when opportunities came in. He is a great communicator and ended up us getting exactly what we had set out to get. Even after the closing, he still has been helpful and checked in to see that all was ok and if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend him to others.
"The ultimate professionals in real estate! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this dynamic duo. Matt possesses extensive knowledge of the market, is a great listener and focused on our specific wants and needs, was patient and accommodating when we shifted our search to different areas and home styles. Kara offered expertise and guidance preparing our home prior to showing. As our agent Matt represented us very well during the contract process, went over and above to make sure our requests were honored. Matt constantly communicated with us from contract signing through closing. Matt and Kara will represent you well!"
Matt and Kara were outstanding throughout our home search. Since we were planning to re-locate to Bluffton, SC, their local knowledge, patience, and guidance were incredibly valuable. They took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, answered every question, and never made us feel rushed or pressured.Their professionalism, responsiveness, and friendly approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They helped us find the right property and made us feel confident every step of the way. I would highly recommend Matt and Kara to anyone looking to buy a home or property in the Bluffton/Hilton Head area!
"Matt & Kara were fantastic to work with from the day we met virtually to discuss our needs and wants in purchasing a vacation home. Southern hospitality at its finest! They listened well and were intuitive in picking up on what was really important to us even if we didn't explicitly communicate it. They were responsive to our questions and patient with our decision-making process. And yes, they found us the perfect fit! We were impressed with how smooth the purchasing process was which made us feel even more confident that we made the right choice -- with the home and Matt & Kara as our agents. We appreciate the personal connection we made and now beyond the real estate transaction, consider them friends. We are grateful for their expertise in making our dream a reality!"
We have worked with Michael Haire on three property transactions. He is by far the most professional, helpful real estate professional we have ever encountered. He has earned our trust and proven himself to be an invaluable partner. We strongly recommend anyone looking for a high quality real estate professional to select Michael to help them with their real estate needs.
The DELCHER team is one of the best in The Hilton Head/Bluffton area. When they listed our townhome, we were anxious for it to sell. Their on-point marketing, availability for questions, business acumen, and professionalism were the keys to selling our home in 2 weeks! They guided us through the process step by step and reassured us when we needed it.
David was a gift to work with in relocating to the Lowcountry. He was amazingly patient in helping us find the right house for our family, and his team did an incredible job ensuring that getting to the closing table was smooth sailing. More than a wealth of information on all things real estate, David is high character and non-anxious agent is more concerned about helping you find the right property than in closing a deal. I could not recommend David more highly.
"If not for Diana Sroufe, our home search would not have ended in Belfair. Finding a home in a limited availability market, dealing with a long distance sale and move from Colorado, and the added pressure of the COVID hysteria proved almost too much for these new South Carolina residents. However we found “superwoman” Diana and she proved to be an indispensable resource for us. Even though she represented the seller, Diana became our go-to person to navigate the buying process in this state. She could answer any question that we had — whether about Belfair, the Bluffton community, need for flood insurance, etc. She was instrumental in ensuring the inspection items of concern were resolved in a timely manner to our satisfaction. She answered many a late night call as we came to closing. And she is a special ambassador for the Belfair community, going out of her way to introduce us to new friends and neighbors. Not only was she a tremendous business asset during our transition, she has become a dear and trusted friend"
Andy and The Reed Team came to us very highly recommended, and they delivered. We really appreciated his thorough knowledge of the real estate market in Long Cove.
We were kept fully informed from start to finish during the whole process of selling. Extremely satisfied with the results.
Shelley & Gary are top-notch! We worked with them from 700 miles away for nearly 2 years as our relocation plans came together and we couldn't be happier! They listened to our future vision, took the ball and ran with it. They helped us zero in on exactly what our wants and needs were -- from the desired neighborhood to the specifics on the interior of the home. Even as all of those wants and needs evolved, they rolled with the punches and never gave up until they found the PERFECT home for us. We could not be happier with our new home and our decision to work with Shelley and Gary!
Ethan is native to the LowCountry, and his knowledge of the Beaufort area and its housing market is exceptional.
My family is so grateful to have had his assistance and insight through our home buying process. Would recommend this team without reservation.
Carolyn Welch was my realtor and I couldn't have asked for a better person to navigate buying a home in Sun City SC. She was knowledgeable, kind and patient. She listened to my needs and was able to find the perfect home for me. One of the best things about Carolyn is her responsiveness to any questions or concerns might have. She was a pleasure to work with and a good representative of The John Weber Team of Charter One Realty.
“Paul worked real hard to sell our place when the time came he had to. He worked on our behalf to sell it. He was very easy to get a hold of any time I needed him. I would use him again.“
Relocating from not just out of state, but from the opposite side of the country, was a massive undertaking, and a bit scary. Gary and Shelley Elliott were the perfect guides for helping us find our new home. From the moment with we met with them, we were immediately comfortable working with them. They listened, they heard us, and helped talk us down from some stressful moments, all the while keeping their positive attitude and sense of humor. They not only helped us find our perfect home, they are so knowledgeable about the Sun City Hilton Head community. They went above and beyond, even helping us find a rental home to live in during our new home search. They put us in touch with local contractors and service providers to help make our move as stress free as possible. They are true professionals who care about their clients. We can not recommend them highly enough!
Christina is a gifted and talented real estate agent. In our experience in both our recent sale of a home and purchase of another one, Christina was not only on top of everything but made sure if there was a repair or something that needed to happen to make the transaction smooth or complete, she always knows just the right person to do the job. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the market on HHI as well as creative in marketing of any home. Christina always made herself available to answer any questions or discuss the progress of our buying or selling transactions. Christina is by far the BEST realtor we've ever worked with, her professionalism, personality, attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to close deals were outstanding - both deals! If you are buying or selling a home, do yourselves a favor and hire Christina!
"Julianne has been such a blessing to my grandson & myself through the entire process. I initially contacted her with a million questions about selling and what the market was doing plus some about how to handle an inheritance situation. She walked us through it all, questions and then from the listing to closing. I was overwhelmed by 20+ years of "stuff" and "treasures". If I hit a road block, I could call and she was able to get me back on the correct timeline. She was exceptional from beginning to end. If I were to move back to that area she would be one of the first people I would call."
The BEST agents we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with were Gary & Shelley Elliott with Charter One Realty. They made the whole process from start to finish a pleasurable and easy experience. Their understanding of the market was invaluable, and they had our house sold in under a week. Their attention to detail was impressive when first listing our home. I was blown away with all the advertising and marketing that went out the day after we decided to sell our home. I have never met a realtor that helped you with the packing, the organizing, the cleaning, the moving of your home. Who does that? What an incredible team they are. They go above and beyond to help you in every way possible. Thank you, Gary and Shelley, for your amazing work and helping make our move much less stressful. You guys are the best and we will always sing your praises.
Tom Defazio was always available on short notice to show us properties we were interested in. Over a period of several months he was responsive to our changing property wish list and desired locations. In the end he helped us secure the right property in a great location. We recommend him without hesitation.
The best relationships are based on trust and excellent communication skills. Alec [Smith] is an absolute professional. The communication level was often but not overwhelming and was supported with good data to help make educated decisions in a rapidly changing market.
We recently had the opportunity to work with Alec Smith on the sale of our property at Bull Point (Seabrook, SC). At every step of the process, Alec was proactive, responsive, professional and committed to getting our land sold. We are happy with his expertise and the results achieved and would not hesitate to recommend Alec.
Drew is the BEST! I was in a time crunch trying to clear out my mother's home before closing and Drew rolled up his sleeves and together, we got it done! Can you honestly say your agent would do that for you without being asked or guilted into helping? Not Drew. He's just that kind of guy. Drew's willing to do what he can to make your experience outstanding.
Steve was amazing. He lined up multiple showings for us on several days when we were in HHI for a limited number of days. He made sure to explain the amenities of the different plantations. After we left without finding our dream home, Steve kept looking. He sent us several homes to review and even went house hunting with my sister. They called one day and told us they had found our home. We toured with them via video. Stave suggested an off er contingent on our seeing the home in person. The offer was accepted the next morning and we hit the road. Just as Steve said, our home looks even better in person than in the photos. Thanks so much Steve, without you, we would still be looking.
Lonnie Goulet handled the sale of our home. We found Lonnie to be knowledgeable, responsive, proactive, professional, thorough, and efficient. That’s a lot of positive adjectives to use about a Realtor’s performance and Lonnie earned it via her outstanding work. Our home was on the market for less than two weeks prior to receipt of an offer to purchase. She did a terrific job as a seller’s agent and we would not hesitate to call her if we buy or sell property in the low country in the future.
We met Christina when looking at a house she was showing. She had also been recommended by the agent who helped us find our previous home on Hilton Head and was now retired. After falling in love with the home, we asked Christina to look at our existing home and ended up having her list it. She did an excellent job marketing our home and was on site for issues that arose when we were out of town. When a seemingly good offer was made, we accepted and Christina became our battlefield commander as the pending sale turned into a nightmare of frivolous issues from the other party. Her professional demeanor and extensive experience guided us through the quagmire and resulted in closing successfully. We highly recommend Christina as an excellent realtor and as importantly, a really good person!
When we decided to move to Hilton Head, we were told the only real estate agents to use were the Reed Team. After buying and selling four properties using them, we couldn’t agree more.
They know the market extremely well. In addition, they really tried to learn our goals, and then match properties to meet those goals. Our first property was an ocean front house, that we rented for 3 years until we tore it down to build our dream house. The advice we were given by the Reed Team during that time proved to be right on. The other transactions were for investment reasons, and they all exceeded our goals as well.
There are three things we especially liked about dealing with the Reed Team; first, they would tell us exactly how they felt about a property, and actually steered us away from some we liked. Secondly, they have a very practical, common sense approach about real estate deals. And thirdly, they worked hard on building long-term relationships, they weren’t just transaction processors. They stayed very involved during escrow and way past the closings, ensuring that the deal got done to our satisfaction.
We only wish they had an office in southern California when we relocated here.
Working with Gary and Shelley was an absolute pleasure. They are highly knowledgeable about the area and trends in the market. With their attention to detail and patience in our search we were able to find our home. We will use them in the future and recommend them frequently. They have many resources and connections with the best in the field. They were always available and easy to reach.
Duke and Linda Delcher recently sold our home in Berkeley Hall. They were very good at marketing the home with top notch advertising and photography for the property. Their support staff at Charter One Realty was also very professional. When issues arose during the negotiations and closing, they were quick to respond.
Christina Forbis has her pulse on the real estate market and worked tirelessly to make our dream come true. We highly recommend Christina – she is the “go to” realtor on the island!
I highly recommend Jack Menzie of Charter One Realty based on our experience selling our family home in Rose Hill Plantation. From our initial consultation through closing, Jack demonstrated exceptional market knowledge, professionalism, and dedication. He provided valuable guidance on preparing and marketing the home, communicated clearly throughout the process, and handled negotiations with skill and confidence. Jack was especially patient and attentive to my parents’ specific needs, always taking the time to address questions and requests with care. His proactive approach, problem-solving skills, and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire selling process smooth and as stress-free as possible. I am extremely grateful for his hard work and would confidently recommend Jack to anyone considering selling their home.

With their attention to detail and patience in our search we were able to find our home. We will use them in the future and recommend them frequently. They have many resources and connections with the best in the field. They were always available and easy to reach.
Duke and Linda Delcher recently sold our home in Berkeley Hall. They were very good at marketing the home with top notch advertising and photography for the property. Their support staff at Charter One Realty was also very professional. When issues arose during the negotiations and closing, they were quick to respond.
Christina Forbis has her pulse on the real estate market and worked tirelessly to make our dream come true. We highly recommend Christina – she is the “go to” realtor on the island!
I highly recommend Jack Menzie of Charter One Realty based on our experience selling our family home in Rose Hill Plantation. From our initial consultation through closing, Jack demonstrated exceptional market knowledge, professionalism, and dedication. He provided valuable guidance on preparing and marketing the home, communicated clearly throughout the process, and handled negotiations with skill and confidence. Jack was especially patient and attentive to my parents’ specific needs, always taking the time to address questions and requests with care. His proactive approach, problem-solving skills, and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire selling process smooth and as stress-free as possible. I am extremely grateful for his hard work and would confidently recommend Jack to anyone considering selling their home.
