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…

“Sabrina did an outstanding job throughout the process. She was extremely responsive and proactive in locating listings that we would be interested in based upon our discussions with her. She also assisted in the negotiation process to help us get the best deal in light of the appraisal on the property we were buying. I would highly recommend her, especially for non-Hilton Head residents like ourselves.”

Matt and Kara are an amazing team. They took care of all the small details through the prospecting stages from dinner recommendations to making sure the homes we saw were the ones that fit our checklist. Once we were under contract Matt and Kara handled the negotiations with the sellers with pure class. 10 out 10 experience working with the Raehn team.

Our experience with Christina Forbis in purchasing a house on Hilton Head Island couldn’t have been better! Her ability to dial in a house for our needs, and point us in the right direction was fantastic. During the process of closing on the house,  her communication was outstanding in solving any problems. After we purchased the house, her help and guidance in selecting the right contractors for our remodel needs was invaluable. It certainly helps to have a person who is dialed in on Hilton Head Island!

We've known Andy Reed and his team for at least 20 years and have always respected and appreciated Andy's professionalism and knowledge. We consider him to be an expert and our go-to resource with regards to Hilton Head real estate. We were selling our lot in Long Cove in the midst of Hurricane Matthew, so it was a much more complex transaction than the typical lot sale. Andy exercised unbelievable patience, skill and diplomacy to both locate a buyer and agree to terms that worked for everyone. We would highly recommend Andy and his team for any real estate needs.

“Matt and Kara Raehn made the incredibly daunting task of selling our first home extremely manageable and less scary. While it was a ton of work, they made sure to hold my hand through it all and taught us how to get our home ready to list and made sure it sold for what we were hoping for. We quite literally could not have done it without them!”

Steve and I are so happy that we selected Shelley and Gary to sell our home in Rose Dhu Creek Plantation.  We have been married 50 years and over that period of time we have purchased and sold 17 homes.  The process of buying and selling real estate is very familiar to us and it is without hesitation, that we can say that Gary and Shelley are the best, most professional and experienced agents we have ever met.  When anyone was in our home, they were always in attendance to answer any questions and assure that showings and inspections were concluded with optimum results. They facilitated the process of moving far beyond what one should expect from real estate agents.  We hired Shelley and Gary based on a recommendation from a neighbor and friend and so glad that we did.

I’ve known Drew for almost 30 years, and this is now my third real estate transaction with him. He knows the market extremely well, especially in Indigo Run, and is a fantastic negotiator. Drew is honest, trustworthy, and hardworking, always following up and making sure every detail is handled. With the support of his great assistant, Kim, the process is seamless. I wouldn’t dream of working with anyone else.

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.

There are rare, but special, times in life when a professional contact becomes a trusted friend.  Five years ago, Sabeth Biangone helped us find a community and a home, shepherded the myriad details of a long-distance house purchase, and defended our legal contract against a seller's agent who tried to start a bidding war.  When it became time to sell, she expertly guided us through pricing, timing, and presenting our home to its best advantage.  The result was a quick and easy sale.  She is professional but fun to work with, no-nonsense but sympathetic, tireless and generous with her time, and unfailingly available and supportive.  Our meeting years ago started with a random phone call to Charter One Realty, and we are so lucky that she’s the one who answered the call.

Alec [Smith] really did an amazing job at helping us find our beautiful home. He was very knowledgeable about the area and community we were looking in. He gave us great guidance on locating a home that met all of our family's needs. He understood our unique situation and was willing to show us several homes until we found the right one for us. He was always willing to answer questions and was by our side the whole step of the way, and assisted us with everything we needed to close. If you're looking for a new home I would recommend Alec to help you.

From our very first interaction, Beth Doudoukjian stood out for her exceptional professionalism and sincere warmth. She took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and concerns, crafting a personalized experience that made us feel genuinely valued and heard every step of the way. Navigating the home-buying process from out of town came with its challenges, but Beth made everything feel seamless. She arranged virtual tours and video walkthroughs, connected us with reputable local resources, and was consistently responsive—always available to address our questions, no matter how small. What truly sets Beth apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients, even after closing. She continued to provide thoughtful recommendations for local contractors and services, ensuring we felt supported well beyond the transaction. If you’re looking for a real estate professional who blends deep expertise with heartfelt dedication, Beth Doudoukjian is the one you want by your side. We are truly grateful for her guidance, care, and advocacy throughout our journey.

Shelley and Gary were probably the most thorough real estate agents I have ever worked with. I used to be a agent in California and this team are truly the best in the business. They always answer their phones and keep you updated throughout the whole process! If you are looking to sell your home or buy a home you will be very happy!

“Sabrina is amazing. She is a true professional and is extremely knowledgeable with a wonderful personality. Sabrina worked tirelessly for us and was always available and accessible. She understood our goals and needs and, provided a clear roadmap to properties that fit our dreams. She found us the perfect home and stood firm on our behalf to make sure the property was in perfect condition for us before we took possession. Sabrina loves what she does, and it shows in every aspect of her work. We have bought and sold 10 homes (so far) in our lifetimes, and Sabrina is by far the best agent that we've ever worked with. We highly recommend Sabrina for anyone looking for property around HHI and will personally recommend her to everyone who is buying or selling a property in the Hilton Head area. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the top realtor, she is a 20!!”

Incredibly seasoned, helpful and friendly. No detail escaped Richard MacDonald and he did a magnificent job of listing and selling our home in Hilton Head. Richard's long experience with real estate on the Island worked to our advantage. Very easy to work with as well.

“Sabrina was by far the best realtor we have ever used. She is the ultimate professional when it comes to real estate. Sabrina worked with us for several months to find the right house and worked with us through the entire process. She never let a day go by without assisting with inspectors, contractors etc. Highly recommend Sabrina to both sell and purchase a property. You won't find a better realtor!!!! Outstanding!!”

Sanders was an absolute 10 out of 10. From the first email Sanders responsiveness was top notch. I think I maybe had one call that wasn’t picked up after the 3rd ring. He is friendly, patient and will take the time to get to know you and help you find the right house. He is not a pushy agent…he gives you honest responses and helps you understand the pro’s/con’s of areas and homes. Sanders is incredibly knowledgeable about the Hilton Head area as he grew up there plus he draws on the experience of his father Richard who has been an agent in the area for decades. Sanders was also invaluable in helping us transition into the area, introducing us to local vendors and personally helping us with the house. I strongly recommend Sanders and have to many close friends.

"WOW! It was certainly a journey but one worth it with the right realtor. It would be very remiss of me not to pass on how incredibly helpful Debbie and Daniel were to me during my first home buying process. Two individuals that truly care and take their time and are so understanding… incredibly patient, talented and immersive in how communicative they are on the entire spectrum of the process. I am so grateful! Thank you so much Debbie and Daniel!! ”

We would like to say that Brenda [Kline] worked quite hard at selling our home. It was a slow start but as the economy changed so did the interest in our home. She was very good at offering suggestions that worked best for our situation. Brenda was persistent and made it happen. Thank you Brenda!

We used Duke to buy and sell our first house on Hilton Head Island. Our experience was so positive we returned to him to purchase our second. Duke is prompt, thorough, knows the market and pushed us just enough to look in a neighborhood we weren’t leaning towards and it ended up being the perfect spot. We are thrilled with our new home and would return to Duke again with any real estate needs. We highly recommend Duke and Linda!

"We have bought, sold, and built homes throughout our lives. Shelley & Gary know the challenges of moving to a new state and they have a unique formula for finding the right community and home for you.  We decided to build after finding our community and are so fortunate to have selected them as our buyer's agents at no cost to us. They handled so many issues for us and we were assured our interests were being safeguarded. Thank you for making what is usually a very stressful process a most rewarding experience. We love our new home!"

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.

"Matt was tremendous to work with from start to finish in the home buying process. He had great working knowledge and insights into the area, a friendly, professional communication style and took the time to understand what we were looking for and then applied that understanding to the houses he showed us. He expertly negotiated the deal and got the price and terms we wanted in a competitive situation. But what impressed me the most was Matt’s responsiveness - unbelievable throughout the sale process and after. Whether by email, text or phone call, he always quickly got back to us even if it was only to acknowledge the message. So few people do that anymore. We always felt we had a true partner throughout the buying process and we can’t recommend Matt more highly if you need a real estate professional."

Krista was our super-agent who showed us so many areas, properties and homes during our search. She was patient and thorough, never showing us anything she didn’t think was right for us: newly retired couple moving to the low country to find a great neighborhood. We wound up buying property to build our home and Krista has gone above and beyond following up after closing and helping us with the build. Service, great attitude and fun. Thanks so much! Would highly recommend Krista Wilson!

“Paul was part of a 2 person team that handled the sale of our home in Beaufort, SC. We appreciated his willingness to listen to our questions and answer them thoroughly. When he needed to get additional information he did not hesitate to do so and get back to us promptly. Paul is a down to earth kind of realtor and does not back away from the parts of the real estate process that take time and are the unseen steps that make it all work smoothly. We could not have been happier with his skills and with the result. Both my husband and I recommend Paul highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Beaufort SC area.”

Debbie and Daniel Cort are amazing! They are very helpful and walk through the whole process with you. Very responsive and there are no bad questions. I was very impressed with their knowledge of the market and their drive to find exactly what you are looking for. When it came time to make an offer they were right on top of everything and kept us in the loop of all the changes made by the sellers. I highly recommend them as they are very professional and friendly and will find you the home you are looking for.
