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…

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.

It is with great pleasure I am writing this. For the purchase of our 2nd home we dealt with Ryan Bassett from your company. We could not have been treated better if he were a family member!! Ryan made this deal work for us; without him I am sure it wouldn't have happened and we have many family members we are referring to Ryan!

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!

In 2014, Christina helped us find our “forever home” in our “forever community.” Our daughters settled in the region, and now 5 grandchildren later we needed more room. Christina helped us develop a buy/sell strategy as well as navigate one of the more dynamic real estate markets in years. Christina’s professionalism and attention to details are unparalleled. We successfully purchased on next “forever home” in the same community we have grown to love – Port Royal Plantation. If you can imagine it, Christina can make it happen- I have seen her do it!

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.

If you want a top-producing agent, choose Drew Butler. He sold our home in a short time frame despite the abundance of homes for sale in our area. It is clear that Drew’s knowledge of the Indigo Run market sets him above the rest of the agents.  His preparation and use of professional tools to produce super marketing materials with top notch photography greatly contributed to the quick sale.  Each step of the listing, sale and closing portions of the process were handled in a clear and decisive manner. He continually demonstrated a willingness to take the extra steps required to make "both the selling and purchasing parties more than satisfied.  We highly recommend him to anyone that desires a professional to handle the sale of their home.

"Mark has been wonderful to work with. He's always professional, candid and friendly. Whenever we had questions or needs throughout the process of selling our home he was able to help immediately, and if he didn't have an answer right away, he worked hard to find the answer. Mark really stood out with his professionalism throughout the entire process, even when other parties were being less than professional in our dealings. We really appreciate everything Mark did to help us sell our home. Thank you!"

Bud and I were impressed with Shelley and Gary from the first time we met. Their warm and winning personalities along with their marketing program was very impressive. They were also recommended by our neighbor. Once we signed on with them, professional photos of our home were taken and presented to us. There was constant communication from them by email, phone, and texts. We had moved up north and they arranged every service, hired the best workers and best of all they sold our home in less than Five Days!

“I have bought and sold 8 homes in my lifetime and Sabrina is by far the best Real Estate Agent I have ever experienced. My last purchase was in a very competitive market with multiple offers being presented on each home we were interested in. Sabrina was always there providing us guidance on each and every house we bid on. Although it took us several months to find our dream home, in the end we purchased our home for a fair value. In addition to her great negotiating skills, she helped navigate us through a difficult and challenging mortgage loan process. Near the end she even escalated to the Vice President of the bank to push our loan across the finish line. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Hilton Head Island SC. She is simply the best.”

Debbie and Daniel Cort are hard-working and dedicated to the community in and around the Hilton Head area. They are diligent in selling and finding homes for their customers. I contacted them to sell my home, hoping to put it on the market in November, and it was sold by the end of November. I was hesitant because it was a lifestyle change I was not sure about, but I put my trust in Debbie and Daniel, and they advised me through each step of the process. They answered every call and question that I had. Debbie and Daniel are great listeners, and they made suggestions that I followed, which made the process less stressful. Debbie and Daniel are kind and patient, and they make selling and buying homes a positive experience.

"Alec is a professional through and through. His knowledge of his craft is impressive. I think what I enjoyed about working with Alec the most is he always kept me up to date at every turn so I always knew what to expect. He is committed to getting the job done and he did just that. I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking to either buy or sell a home in the Beaufort, SC area."

Alec Smith is absolutely amazing to deal with and should be your only choice for Lowcountry real estate. I worked with him for almost two years before we finally found a property and he was never impatient or pushy. He worked very hard to find me exactly what I was looking for even though it wasn't a really large real estate purchase. We eventually bought land instead of a home but he worked as if he was selling us a mansion. I would definitely say he is driven by relationships over paychecks. Alec is very knowledgeable of the local real estate environment and has many resources at his disposal to help you make the proper decision. He provided many other points of contact that will be helpful as we move forward with our build. I will only use Alec for any purchases I make in the Beaufort area.

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.

“This was arguably one of the most challenging processes I’ve experienced because of the seller and the agent husband / wife team. Had it not been for Judd, the closing attorneys and the mortgage broker I don’t think this deal would have happened. Many thanks to Judd Tracy and Charter One for their patience and professionalism getting this deal over the finish line. Couldn’t have done it without you."

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.

We’ve owned a home in Port Royal since 2006 and over that time have met numerous realtors who profess to know the Port Royal market.  Christina Forbis however, is the only one who really does.  She has an excellent knowledge of the area, as well as past, current and upcoming listings and sales.  She gave us a thorough market analysis and discussed things we should consider doing to improve the marketability, and sales price of our home.  With us living out of state, she handled everything to make the sale go through, beginning with advance marketing to professional photographs of our home, verification of HOA assessment payments, arranging for carpet cleaning, coordinating the repair work with our handyman, termite inspection, to recommend of a closing attorney.  This is our fourth real estate purchase or sale in Hilton Head Island, but our first with Christina.  Her level of customer service far exceeds the others.  We’ll never use anyone else; she’s great.

My husband Jim and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Andy, having first bought a beautiful condominium and more recently our dream home. Andy has been courteous, efficient, and respect­ful. He has made the often times difficult job of buying real estate easy. His knowledge of HHI real estate is well founded. We would highly recommend Andy to our friends and anyone looking for their special place on the island.

We contacted Christina Forbis because we had heard from friends that she was the best on the Island, that turned out to be completely accurate. She responded immediately and was very accessible. She used the first day to show us areas that we were interested in. By the second day she hit the nail on the head. We found a property in the Port Royal Plantation that was perfect, she got us the home of our dreams!  That was only the beginning of all of the work she did for us. She coordinated every step after that and made the transition easy.  We can't say enough great things about Christina’s professionalism. We also feel like we made a new friend. She is super easy to talk to, we had a lot of laughs and now we are looking forward to being her neighbor in beautiful Port Royal.

"This is our 2nd time working with Richard and had another excellent working experience with him! He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about real estate in the low country and helped steer our decisions in literally every step of the way in the process of selling our home. He is reliable, trustworthy, easy to work with, very reputable and just a genuinely great guy who everyone knows, appreciates and respects on Hilton Head Island. Definitely made this whole process for us seamless and easy. Best decision to work with him again, ever. And when we sell or buy in the future, will absolutely call him immediately. He’s truly the best. Can’t recommend him enough! "

I asked Christina Forbis to handle the sale of my Port Royal home because I appreciated the way she represented the sellers when I bought my home and because I knew of her outstanding reputation in the community. I was never disappointed. At every point in the sale, she went above and beyond what you might expect from a realtor.  No matter how busy she was, she always made me feel like I was her top priority. Christina provides a concierge level experience, dealing with all issues with grace and professionalism.

We had a really great experience working with Diana Sroufe from Charter One.  She was very professional, always responsive and kept us informed of everything all along the way.  She has great knowledge of homes in the area and what buyers are looking for.  Also she has a great network of service providers to help you through your sale and move.  She did an excellent job listing  our home with beautiful pictures and made sure to be on the premises at each showing to answer questions.  We were so glad she represented us in selling our home.  D Breunsbach 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. Diana successfully sold our first home in Belfair for a premium price 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 whose help was invaluable. You can’t go wrong with Team Sroufe!
