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…

I had a great experience with Tom. Back in June I put my house on the market and I needed to find my forever home, but due to the pandemic I was very nervous. Until I meet Tom he insured me that he will be there for me and my family every step of the way and that’s what he did. He went above and beyond for us. He made our selling and buying experience a great one and we are so happy that we had Tom represent us. If you want someone to find you the forever home or helping you sell your home call Tom you will not be disappointed.

Based on recommendations from several friends as well as personal knowledge, we chose Christina Forbis as our realtor. She worked with us throughout every aspect of the sale of our home.  Christina proved to be the ultimate professional and the best in the business. Her intimate knowledge of the Port Royal marketplace combined with her attention to every detail and her willingness to “go the extra mile”, led to a successful sale from listing through closing within 30 days. There is no doubt in our minds that Christina is the realtor you want to be with in the sale of your home.  She is simply beyond compare!

Debbie and Daniel Cort were recommended to us by very good friends. After contacting Daniel, he was very responsive and listened to what we were looking for and within a couple of days booked us for showings. Debbie kept us up to date where we were in the process from offer to closing escrow. Do not hesitate to contact them for your real estate needs.

My wife and I worked with Marisa on a recent trip to the lowcountry and visited several communities over a couple of days.  The first thing that struck me about Marisa is her thoroughness and organization.  We have worked with other realtors in the past who are a bit scattered and a little slow on follow-up.   Marisa separated herself immediately from those experiences by taking the time to understand us individually and to do a deep dive into our likes/wants in a house.  She then provided a detail itinerary for the two days we were to spend with her. She followed up within minutes many times and was extremely organized over the two days.  Her commitment to doing things the right way really impressed us both as did her knowledge of the communities we visited.  She met every need we had during our time with her, and I would recommend Marisa to anyone looking for a home in the Lowcountry.

We worked with Richard on 2 buys and 1 sell in Hilton Head Island, SC. During these 3 business transactions Richard proved to be very professional and knowledgeable. He guided us to fair pricing and was patient with us and the counterparties. He followed up and the cleanliness of the house we bought and made sure it was spotless on the day we moved in. I recommend you contact him if you have any interest in buying or selling on Hilton Head. I assure you will be very pleased with his service and knowledge of the area.

There are a lot of realtors on Hilton Head Island that do not work very hard. This is not the case with Herman & Davis Properties! They are aggressive in the marketplace and do an excellent job of customer relations and follow-though, all with a high degree of integrity and accountability. Highly recommended

Julianne was my realtor for my very first home purchase! She was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel extremely comfortably during the purchasing process. This was a very scary time as a first time buyer, I am SO THANKFUL that I had Julianne by my side to help assist in this process! She will be my only choice of realtor as well as choice of agent to refer in the Lowcountry! — thank you so much for all of your help!

Having been close to four previous Hilton Head Island real estate transactions in which Dave was the agent, twice for the Buyer and twice for the Seller, when it came time to sell my own condo on Skull Creek I didn’t give any thought to asking anyone else to help me as the Seller’s agent. Dave has years of experience on the island and he is very aware of the current market. As expected I benefited from his calm and wise guidance during the entire process. Dave was extremely valuable in recommending people to take care of the issues that were identified during inspection. Other businesses that I called ignored my call, but Dave knows reliable people. And where Dave went above and beyond, in my opinion, was that several times when those folks came to take care of an inspection item I was not available to be there – Dave met the trades people and waited while they did the work, or until I was able to arrive. That was a huge help to me. I highly recommend Dave if you are buying or selling a house or condo on Hilton Head Island.

My husband and I have bought and sold a condo on HHI with Shelley and Gary. Both transactions were seamless. I was particularly impressed with the pricing of our condo. I thought it was a risk because it was $30k over what I thought we should list for. So glad I listened to Gary. We received a full price, cash offer the day our property went on the MLS. They know the market!!!!!  Shelley and Gary took care of everything for us. They were always available to talk and kept us updated throughout the process. My husband and I joke that we feel like we are their only customers. They make the real estate process pleasurable by going above and beyond for each transaction. I can't imagine using anyone else for my real estate needs.

“As my fiancé and I were looking to start the process of buying our first home together, we were lucky to have found Sabrina. Because we had a small window of time to find a home, we knew we needed someone who was knowledgeable about the housing market, dependable and had our best interest in mind. Sabrina truly did not disappoint and surpassed every expectation we had for a real estate agent. She took the time to sit down and explain everything and genuinely listened to the vision we had for our home. Not only is Sabrina professional and competent in her role, but she is also very charismatic, making all communication with her enjoyable. Overall, she is such a positive and fun person to work with, but so detail oriented at the same time - she doesn't miss a beat! I will definitely be recommending her to anyone in the need of an agent because I know they will be well taken care of.”

Our overall experience with Delcher and Delcher was excellent. We really appreciated their market experience, local knowledge and the care and consideration that was put forth in the listing and marketing of our home. As we were abroad during the process, we were kept well informed, and both Linda and Duke were always available, pleasant and extremely professional. Highly recommended.

“It was a pleasure working with Ethan. He is very knowledgeable of the area and the selling and buying process. He kept me well informed of the progress and was always available to answer my questions. He had my house sold in about a week after it went on the market. I highly recommend using him in any real estate need.”

We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with in both selling our house and closing on a new, downsized home. Incredibly responsive and organized from day 1 - we truly felt like they were on our team, working hand in hand with us to find the best overall situation for our family. We would definitely work with the Corts again, and we would recommend them to anyone searching for a home or selling a home in the Bluffton area.

We had an extraordinary experience buying our Bluffton house through Marisa Cain with Charter One. She was diligent, responsive, flexible, competent, and always courteous. She was also incredibly even-keeled, helping guide us and calm us through the anxiety-producing process of buying a house in an unknown area. We were living in Northern Virginia, had just retired, and wanted to move somewhere ‘down south.’ Bluffton was one of several areas we wanted to look at during our 'southern tour.' We essentially cold-called Marisa and struck lucky. With little notice, she spent over 2 full days with us, educating us about and driving us through the various developments. She gave advice about the neighborhoods, health care, restaurants, etc. She had a good sense of the area and of the pros/cons of each development and which might best meet what we were looking for (which we weren't very clear about). When we returned to Virginia, she set up a continuing search to send us links to houses that fit our criteria until one jumped out to us. We quickly drove down and fell in love with it. She expertly guided us through the competitive buying process and was very patient with our many questions and requests. She attended inspections on our behalf in our absence. When she left on an extended vacation that coincided with our closing date, she left us in excellent hands with Diana Sroufe, the head of the office, who quickly picked up where Marisa left off, providing continuity and helping us through a last minute panic attack about a tax issue we misunderstood. Even while Marisa was gone, she was on top of everything, responding from Italy during her vacation. And after the sale, both Marisa and Diana have continued to provide us with resources, contacts, and useful information to help us get settled. They have made us feel like family rather than just another sale. We give them our highest, unqualified recommendation.

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!

Julianne Clark helped myself and my husband find a home and close within a month and a half !! She was so helpful and worked with us long distance until I was able to get to the state where I was buying. Julianne made sure to always address my concerns and put our needs first in the process of buying our home. Julianne is also very familiar with the low country and has given us the best information about the area. My favorite experience buying my first home! Many laughs exchanged and a lot of questions answered!

We recently listed our vacation rental condo with Shelley and Gary, and it was a fantastic experience! We were kicking around the idea for a while and decided to test the water since it seemed like prices might have been going up and we figured we would see what happens. We talked to Shelley and Gary a bunch as we were deciding whether to list the unit or not, and they were incredibly helpful with all the information that they provided. Through that whole process we felt like they just wanted us to do what was best for us and we didn't feel any pressure at all to list it now as opposed to waiting. Shelley and Gary just gave us the facts with regard to current and recent listings and sales and stood behind us no matter what we decided. Ultimately, we decided to try the market for this unit, and it worked out better than we could have hoped! Throughout the entire process, the communication from Shelley and Gary was great. They made sure that we knew exactly what to expect from the process/next steps/etc...and whenever we had any questions, they were right on top of things. We have done a number of real estate transactions over the years and this experience was by far the smoothest and most pleasant one that we have had thanks to Shelley and Gary! Looking forward to the next one!

Charter One Realty, Marisa Cain, my agent and Mary Williams the selling agent were amazing to work with. The communication between agents and then to me was on point and done in a timely manner. I was located in VA so the majority of my experience was done long distance. Everything was handled efficiently through settlement and I couldn’t be happier. I wholeheartedly recommend using Charter One Realty, you won’t regret your decision.

We owned a Sea Pines townhouse and our desire was to sell that property and buy a single-family residence. We were introduced to Andy Reed and that turned out to be a huge positive as we were able to sell our townhouse in a few short weeks and later buy a residence that matched just what we were looking for.  Andy and his team listened to our wishes and fulfilled our goal. They are extremely professional, know the local marketplace and easy to work with. We have made new friends.

Whether you are buying or selling, Diana Sroufe is the “go to” realtor in Bluffton and the Lowcountry! In our case, she hit home runs for us on both the buy- and sell-side. Dianasuccessfully sold our first home in Belfair for a price that we were very happy with and worked with us to negotiate the purchase of another beautiful home in the same community. Both transactions required a shrewd understanding of the market dynamics and the “unique selling proposition” of each home. Diana worked with us to showcase our former home and, via FaceTime with out-of-state buyers, made the sale and quickly closed the deal. She also went above and beyond the call of duty to bring a challenging negotiation for our new home purchase to a satisfactory conclusion. We would not have closed that transaction without Diana. Also, as wonderful as Diana is, I’d like to give a shout-out to her team at Charter One, Amy, and Terry, whose help was invaluable. You can’t go wrong with Team Sroufe!

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.

Debbie and Daniel were fantastic from start to finish! They went above and beyond to make the purchase as easy as possible. They were also able to recommend a great financial and legal team to work with throughout our process. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future purchases.
