You can tell its Summer by the number of homes/villas on tour for Hilton Head Island. Today we had one home and four villas in Forest Beach (10 Myrtle Lane - $579,000), two Ocean Breeze Villas adn one Forest Beach Villas. Forest Beach Villas are ones that I really like but we are going to see a few come on the market due to a big assessment for siding and windows. Nevertheless, it remains a well built and solid condo near Coligny.

Shipyard had one home on 37 Kingston Road for $749,900 for a 3 BR/2.5 bath. Did not even go look, sorry. Sea Pines had an interesting 2827 Residents Club and 163 Fairwood Villas. Seldom on the market for both these condos. 1902 South Beach Club Villa is on the market - not sure why we have so many for sale in there right now. Everything from Penthouse down. Thsi one is a 3/3 for $1,195,000. 163 Fairwood Villa was cute cute cute 2/2 at $429,000. However, I would rather sell 10 Rice Lane for $395,000 - its cute, has an upstairs and if one wanted to change curb appeal, at some point build a garage and add bedroom to front to change it. That seems possible since it sits way back. Just a thought. Very private. No pool and bedrooms upstairs (two ). 18 Spinnaker Court at $695,000 for 3/3.5 had great curb appeal. The AC was blaring. All baths need to be redone but priced well if you like townhouse in HT. Had a water view to side. 15 Dewberry Lane in Greenwood Forest at $450,000 is very attractive for a 4/3 and on a cup de sac. Issue is funky layout BUT has mother in law suite. Pie shaped lot and no room for expansion or garage. Priced well though. 36 S. Beach Lane was near where I grew up and learned to ride my bike. That neighborhood can support a 3/3 home at $1,699,000 but it was quite dated. Only plus was you only had to cross south beach lane to get to beach path. Still - needs work but nice and very very clean. Know that sweet couple. 90 Club Course Drive at 3/2.5 was a bit high for condition but had great green view BUT cart path looked straight into house. At $656,000 a bit pricey for CC. 38 Shell Ring was a 4/3 at $569,000. I don't like the way some of those were built so not sure about this one. No view but privacy. Needs updating too. All original. 32 Forest Drive in Greenwood was $625,000 (compared to 15 Dewberry in same area at $450,000). It was on main road but was updated. Eh, not my favorite. Upgrades OK. 15 Wood Duck is overpriced for the hood at $779,000 for a 4/3.5. It is very large for area and had large deck but traditional home with MIL suite. Steps. Staged nicely. 108 Baynard Road has new listing agent but all same - very dated and needs a lot to get up to level. $875,000 but on HT golf course. One car carport limits it. And lastly, 30 Audubon Pond and 22 Audubon Pond. 30 is 4/4.5 at $1,095,000 and 22 is 3/3 at $649,000. Both have pools. 22 just changed listing agent. Needs work but boy, what a view and potential. Oh, almost forgot 16 Acorn Lane at $$399,000 for a 3/2 at Club Course. It smelled and needed a lot of work. Evergreen cute one just went under contract at $429,000 and it was cute cute cute. So all in all I would say 10 Rice Lane and 22 Audubon Pond were my favorite. Yes, they need work but the updated ones are just too expensive for what they are, even though most buyers here want that. I say, location, location ,location and put some money in them. You will get return on it if done smart. Over and out!
