Realtor Tour for Mid-Island was a bit small compared to the prior weeks. We had three off plantation including Folly Field, Five homes in Palmetto Dunes, seven villas in PD, two homes in Port Royal and three properties in Shipyard and one in Wexford. As many know, I only focus on homes since villas are the same shell except interior work. So lets start at Palmetto Dunes. 15 Off Shore at $599,900 was very exciting for me and then I was welcomed by a dead mole on the entrance way. Home was priced well. 12 Queens Way in Leamington at $729,000 for a 3 bedroom adn 3 bath was an average and good choice for Leamington but did not have much of Lowcountry, something that I sometimes look for. 81 Port Tack for $735,000 had a great lagoon view and dock with a boat - quite intriguing and made the short list.

6 Topside at $605,000 for 3 bedroom 3 bath was priced ok and decent location for PD. I think 8 Man O War at $4,695,000 is a very decent consideration. At the end of Mooring Buoy and oceanfront, this 6 bedroom home had two bedrooms on main floor, had elevator and was nicely appointed and had a close but very pretty ocean view. Stay tuned. Now two favorites in PD - both with water views. That is the uniqueness on the area.

So then Port Royal, one of my favorite gated communities on Hilton Head Island had 36 Fairway Winds Place. At $689,000 it was "OK". I have more expectations. 8 Heyward Place was an oceanfront contender at $2,295,000 but driveway, curb appeal and mostly the inexpensive kitchen cabinets really turned me off. Sticking with 8 Man O war. 19 Bridgeport Lane at $389,000 in Shipyard was intriguing and worth a pursuit. I went ahead and called two clients on it! :) 61 Kingston Dunes was choppy and needed work and corner pool is not my favorite. for 5 bedrooms at $699,000 would be great for a family that wanted South End. Did not go to 226 Evian Villas but it was at $324,000 so worth a look another day. I totally missed 54 Wicklow Drive but at $1,700,000 it better be awesome.

So all in all, I think 81 Port Tack at $735,000 was the winner winner, chicken dinner. If I had to pick oceanfront of the two, 8 Man O war is a perfect option.
