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’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.

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!

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.

My husband and I were treated as if we were the only client and our agent negotiated the entire sale with our best interests in mind. I never realized how valuable that was until I experienced it. Outstanding experience!

Working with Debbie Cort was absolutely seamless and perfect. Our Family needed to relocate to the area from Florida and we had no idea where to start looking for our new home. My wife sent an email regarding a property we might be interested in and Debbie responded immediately! We shared our lifestyle and current type of home we owned to help Debbie show us the best neighborhood to suit us in the shortest time frame. After 2-3 trips from Florida to look at our home buying options we landed on a beautiful home in Bluffton with the amenities that were exactly to our needs! Without Debbie Cort we wouldn't have been able to make our move happen so smooth. And we have built a great friendship along the way. Debbie puts her heart and soul into the entire process. And was always available for any questions that came up. Thanks Debbie and Dan!

Marisa Cain was a pivotal reason we bought our home. From the beginning, she struck the perfect balance—warm and enthusiastic, yet candid and insightful. We valued these attributes in Marisa, especially being new to the area. After just one morning of touring homes, she quickly honed in on what truly mattered to us. A week later, she had a strong instinct about a new listing and let us know right away. She was absolutely right—it turned out to be the one. Marisa guided us through every step of the process with efficiency and care. She made sure we fully understood each aspect of the home and addressed any potential concerns on our checklist. We always felt she was advocating for us, representing our best interests throughout the entire home buying process. Even after our offer was accepted, Marisa remained hands-on, leading us seamlessly through closing and generously sharing her trusted contacts for services like painting, landscaping, and cleaning. She is a true professional. We wholeheartedly recommend Marisa to anyone looking to buy a home.

"Sabrina is an absolute gem, she is professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. She made the process of selling our Hilton Head condo incredibly easy, she was always one step ahead. Her attention to detail, organization and common sense approach to all aspects of selling our property made it seamless from start to finish. Sabrina was wonderful and the added bonus is we made a new friend. Thank you Sabrina!!"

Gary and Shelley make for an impeccable team. They compliment each other well and are fierce advocates for us as the sellers. They never missed anything and were always there to double-check and follow up and make sure that things went smoothly. We had a difficult buyer, and I always knew that they were on our side and ready to jump in to make this work. They are an absolutely fantastic choice for realtors.

Richard helped us purchase a home in Bluffton, and we couldn't be happier! He goes above and beyond for his clients, is a long-time Hilton Head resident, and has a great feel for the market. Experienced, patient, honest, straightforward, and trustworthy. Because of his local knowledge, he also knows exactly who to go to for loans, insurance, attorneys, inspections, repairmen, landscapers, contractors...you name it, he has an answer. 100%, 10/10, 5 Stars, whatever the scoring metric, he is one of the best.

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.

Marisa (Light Cain) and Ann (Walton) are the Dynamic Duo! It Started with Marisa sending us all the latest and greatest listings for months – Then we popped into town last Sept and showed up around everywhere! They were an absolute pleasure to work with, showing us some amazing properties/communities in Beaufort, all the while answering all of our questions, educating us on the area, and genuinely caring about us and what we were looking for. When we found our dream home, they dug in handling all of the leg work, negotiation, paperwork, etc., truly making our experience of buying a house out of state as stress free as possible! If you're looking for Agents who give support, expertise, and thoughtfulness, Marisa and Ann deliver! We liked them so much we keep in touch and look forward to having them over for dinner soon!

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.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt and Kara on the sale of our home and the purchase of a lot in a different neighborhood. Matt and Kara are a dream to work with! Their approach is a balance of listening to your wants/needs and using their expert knowledge to offer excellent direction, advice and feedback. They are proactive, diligent, trustworthy and professional, but above all they are kind and a joy to spend time with!! They went above and beyond, and the whole experience has been better than we could have expected! We would recommend them to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell in the Lowcountry!

“Sabrina Zeoli is fantastic! She worked with my husband and I to find the perfect second home on Hilton Head Island. She was patient and always available. She was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. She was very supportive from the beginning to the end of our home buying experience. She made the whole process seamless. It is evident that Sabrina cares about her clients and her community. We would love to work with her again in the future!”

Christina has been our realtor for the past five years. We were searching for the “perfect spot” at Hilton head and she helped us find a lovely one! She was very patient during our long search of properties.  She was always available, courteous, and professional. Christina went above and beyond what would be expected by a real estate agent. Bud and I appreciate her help and recommend Christina highly!

Drew Butler did an outstanding job selling our home. This was the 3rd home that we sold with Drew as our agent. We had previously bought 2 homes with the help of Drew. Drew is very detail oriented, and we think that really helps sell the home. This latest home was only on the market for a short time, and we got our asking price! If I was buying or selling a house in Indigo Run Hilton Head Island, I would use Drew as my agent!

OUTSTANDING! From the start Tammy Moody’s knowledge of the inventory, pricing and challenging market provided us with extremely helpful advice and guidance every step of the way. She ensured that we understood all aspects involved in selling our home. Tammy helped us through some times when we had doubts and endless questions that all sellers have. Our home sold and we were thrilled. All we can say is high marks for Tammy and the Charter One Team.

Chip helped us sell our home and we could not recommend him highly enough. Clearly knows the local market and all the relevant players which was a huge advantage for us. And he always went above and beyond helping us as out of town owners -- even something as menial as moving furniture in/out of storage he was more than willing to help us with himself. We also had a great experience with the rest of the team getting the marketing materials prepared and published in really short order. Give Chip a call if you need help buying or selling a home!

Team Elliott helped us out tremendously, as first-time home sellers they were very knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. They guided us through and took care and pride in helping us reach our goals. After meeting with them we knew instantly that they had our best interest in mind. I cannot praise them enough for their guidance. My wife and I were very pleased with their service and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for realtors in the area.

Simply outstanding from start to finish! Sabrina did a great job finding and showing us the perfect unit. Most importantly, she excelled with all the follow-up details. Buying a second property can be challenging, but Sabrina made the entire process easy and stress-free. We needed assistance with handyman services and insurance, and she provided several excellent options to choose from on the island. She also helped with setting up the condo, which was a tremendous help. Nicely done, Sabrina! Thank you again for all your hard work and support.

After renting a winter getaway home in the low country for six years, we decided to take the plunge and purchase a vacation home.  We started our search on the internet, and the very first listing we liked happened to be listed by Rich Reed with Charter One Realty.  This introduction led to us signing on with Rich to guide our search, and was a stroke of good fortune, for Rich is one of the leading brokers in the entire region and knows the markets first-hand.  This in-depth knowledge, coupled with his extensive experience in putting deals together, served us well, as the property we kept coming back to presented us with some challenges.  It was on a beautiful lot with scenic views and had appealing architecture, but it suffered from deferred maintenance and outdated interior finishes which we needed to reflect in our offer.  Rich was particularly helpful with his many local contacts who helped us with various cost estimates, and he also kept our negotiations on track with the seller.  His deal-making expertise proved invaluable as we came to know more about the property’s needs than the seller, which led to some protracted negotiations.  In the end Rich’s patience, persistence, and skill got us over the goal line.  As we worked with Rich it became evident that he understood where we were coming from, and what was most important to us, and he focused on our priorities to get the deal done.  We highly recommend Rich Reed for any low country real estate requirements.
