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…

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.

It was serendipity that brought us together with Marisa as we began our exploration of the Lowcountry and Bluffton area, in general.  And it all blossomed from there. Marisa is fun and friendly, which make long days of touring communities and houses a whole lot more enjoyable. And she is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the process. We truly enjoyed her approach of introducing us first to the communities and helping us narrow down the list of choices to a much more manageable subset. She took the time to get to know us and try to understand how we described our likes and wants, so she could help us to first identify the community that is right for us. And she explained why this is an important step in the process.  Because we were coming in from out of town, she did a very nice job of being our “boots on the ground“. Marisa is also very professional and helped us through the entire home buying process. As others have noted, her service and care extended beyond signing the contract, as she helped us with utilities, with ideas about where to purchase furniture, etc. We are pleased to call Marisa a friend, now, and highly recommend her.

My husband and I were treated as if we were the only client and our agent negotiated the entire sale with our best interests in mind. I never realized how valuable that was until I experienced it. Outstanding experience!

I recently listed my home with Andy Reed from the Reed Team. I could not be happier with the process. The photo that he had taken we great and the listing looks good online. I am sure it will help sell my house and very happy I selected to work with them.

Daniel and Debbie were amazing to work with. We connected right from the start. They were very attentive to what I was looking for and the two of them make a great team together. You really can't find better people to work with. They are responsive, professional, friendly and I am happy to say that not only did I find a great realtor team but I found a great friendship with the two of them. I would highly recommend them with your real estate needs.

Look no further, David Wedgeworth is your guy. We had the pleasure of working with David for three real estate transactions over the last year and a half. From immediately talking with David we could tell he had the local knowledge, drive to sell our properties, and a genuineness that put us at ease. He was always available to answer questions and kept us informed on all the details throughout our transactions. He truly went above and beyond helping us find trusted companies for repairs that needed to be made and even met them at our home when we were unable to be there. He took away any stress that comes with buying and selling property. We are so thankful for David and his exceptional group over at The Wedgeworth Team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless real estate transaction.

From the very beginning, his personality stood out—he’s incredibly passionate about his work, genuinely kind, and fiercely advocates for his buyers. He always kept my best interests at the center of every conversation and decision. He’s a “hustler” in the best way: focused, persistent, and always moving the process forward. His intelligence and expertise were evident at every step. Alec has a deep understanding of real estate and knows the local market like the back of his hand. He has the buying process down to a science. He’s a natural problem solver with exceptional attention to detail, and I always felt reassured knowing he could answer any question I threw his way—even the ones I worried were “dumb.” I was equally impressed by his drive. He stayed looped into every communication and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. When I got behind on tasks or requests, he nudged me forward with encouragement rather than pressure. Alec was also incredibly patient with my family and me. We weren’t always quick or decisive, but he supported us at every turn without frustration or judgment. Another standout quality was his extensive professional network. Alec clearly had a positive working relationship with the seller’s agent, and he seemed to know reliable people for every part of the home-buying process. From inspections to lawn care, he had top-quality recommendations ready to go. Finally—and most importantly—Alec is honest. He carries himself with real integrity, and I always felt he brought the truth to every situation, even when it wasn’t the easiest or most convenient thing to say. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for someone driven, knowledgeable, genuine, and truly dedicated to his clients, call Alec for your next home purchase.

Beth Doudoukjian is the ultimate professional with the expertise and knowledge to ensure her clients are getting the best possible real estate service. Her personality and demeanor put us at ease and provided us with a pleasurable experience in the purchase of our most recent property.  My husband and I had the privilege of engaging Beth to help us find a “fixer-upper” on the Island last year.  Not only did she scour the market to find the perfect (most imperfect) property in our price range, she and her team were able to negotiate a great price with a quick closing date.  Beth knows the area very well, having lived in Hilton Head for 20 plus years. It is clear that Beth studies the market to ensure she is up to date with and familiar with this dynamic real estate market.   We are so confident in her ability and expertise, that she will be listing our Villa next year and is currently searching for additional property for us to purchase.

Becky and Monica were terrific throughout and after the successful marketing and sales process. They even send each client from the prior year another closing statement in case needed for filing purposes. A pleasure to deal with in every respect.

We have bought and sold several properties in Beaufort with Alec Smith and we will continue to use him for our real estate needs. He is knowledgeable about the local area and his relationship with local contractors/service providers has helped us close on time without any issues. I trust Alec to get to the job done!

"Buying a house with Cort Lifestyle Pros was like having dinner with old friends. They helped us with every step of the process and anticipated our needs. Daniel and Debbie Cort went above and beyond before, during and after our home purchase. We will definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.”

Michael Haire was great to work with in buying a home at Palmetto Bluff (PB). He asked questions and listened well to what we were looking for, and then showed us options that met or exceeded our expectations. His sense of humor and friendly side-kick Kona made the buying process a joy. Michael was a pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable and he made times available to meet with us on short notice with our tight travel schedule. We love our new PB home and would highly recommend Michael for your Lowcountry real estate needs.

Not all Realtors are created equal, which is why we chose Marvin Hall, the BEST in the Lowcountry. We recently relocated to Bluffton, SC, and engaged Marvin Hall of Charter One Realty to represent us in our real estate purchase. Prior to our arrival, we spoke with Marvin and gave him our list of wants and needs. Marvin listened carefully to our requirements, prepared a tailored selection of properties for us to view, and efficiently guided us to a successful contract. Marvin demonstrated thorough knowledge of South Carolina real estate regulations, taxes, and community fees. He negotiated effectively and represented us admirably. We highly recommend Marvin Hall for your next home sale or purchase.

My wife and I recently purchased a resale home in Latitude Margaritaville, Hilton Headed. The whole experience from beginning, to our new beginning, was exceptional. Our realtor and neighbor, Brenda Kline was professional, informative, respectful, responsive and fun. She truly made the process and transition an easy one. Thank you Brenda. Living in paradise began with you.

100% recommend Julianne. This was me and my wife’s first time buying a home and I cannot image how difficult it could have been with a realtor who only did the bare minimum. Julianne has been working with us for 4 months to find a house and has been very responsive proactive and always working behind the scenes to make everything as smooth and easy as possible for us. She was very real with us, talked us down on a few houses where she saw problems that we did not to make sure that we, as first time home buyers, were not going to get ourselves into a house we could not handle or end up spending a ton of money in the future on potential unforeseen repairs. Now we have closed on a house that we are completely in love with and it would not have been possible without her. Thank you so much Julianne!

We never fully knew just how much difference a great sales agent could help with the sale of our home until we had the good fortune to contact Christina Forbis. From the very first meeting until closing Christina was by our side the entire time. Her marketing skills, staging suggestions, excellent communication skills and attention to detail let us know quickly that we had made the right choice. She spent so much time working for us we often commented about when did she possibly have time to work with other clients. Choose Christina Forbis - you will not be disappointed.

Sara was amazing - top notch, very professional and handled our sale with perfection. This was especially impressive given the challenging market we are in. She used her network effectively and was able to structure a creative deal that not only got us 5 offers in 3 days, but helped us land on the best one for our circumstances. - Highly recommended.

Alec was great from the start. Knowledgeable of the area and the local market, which was a huge plus since I live out of town . I was confident and trusted his experience and guidance through the sale of my Bull Point Plantation lot; he is very active and involved. If you need a realtor in Bull Point or in Beaufort, give Alec a call!

Shelley and Gary came highly recommended to assist us in the sale of my mother’s home and they did not disappoint! They are a wonderful team and we felt completely confident in their capable hands! They explained everything in the process with patience and thorough communication. They were willing to assist us in every aspect during the course of getting the house ready to sell and moving my mother to assisted living with numerous resources. They went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and quickly! We feel extremely blessed to have worked with them in the sale of my mom’s home.

Kevin, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all you have done for us.  I know it was complicated and not easy for you. From the depths of my heart, I thank you, as you truly made our lives easier and for that I am forever grateful.  I am indebted to you and want you to know how thankful I am. Cross paths again, either side, and praying for you and your beautiful family to be deeply blessed.

“It was a pleasure to work with Sabrina every step of the way through the entire process of selling our home. Sabrina worked tirelessly to get us the best price for the home. She made several trips to town hall and the building department on our behalf, to settle issues concerning building permits, certificates of occupancy, etc. Whether buying or selling we will certainly work with Sabrina again in the future.”

Richard was very helpful with his knowledge of contractors and other service providers on Hilton Head. When we first purchased in 2014 through the sale of home in 2020 we occasionally called him for suggestions. The providers he gave us were always timely and competitive pricewise.

Judd is great to work with, he is professional and low key. Never any pressure. He is patient and willing to show as many properties that it takes. We will certainly work with Judd for our real estate needs.”

A 5-star experience from start to finish! We really don't know how the buying and selling process with Duke and Linda could be any better. Their delightful, calm demeanor throughout helped soothe the stress that moving creates. Excellent communication and professionalism every step of the way. First, they knew what we wanted and found the perfect home which we bought after one viewing. Only 3 days later they sold our house, again after one viewing. It seemed too good to be true. We highly recommend their services!

Drew could not have been a better agent to work with. His knowledge of the market was excellent and his attention to detail was phenomenal. He facilitated all the inspections, made tremendous recommendations for any work that was needed, and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. We would recommend Drew to everyone looking to buy on Hilton Head Island - you won't find a finer person to work with.
