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…

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.

Dan and Debbie have walked us through the selling of our home in Bluffton and the purchase of 2 oceanfront condos on Hilton Head. They both are truly masters of their trade! They perfectly complement each other in their skills which makes for a winning combination and successful results. They are knowledgeable about the area, diligently do their homework. and have have stellar marketing and negotiation skills. But what stands out to us is their excellent people and communication skills.

We highly recommend them!

I recently had the pleasure of working with David Wedgeworth to sell my home. From our initial conversations and throughout the whole process, David was always professional and highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure I always felt like a priority. At each step in the whole process, David came through with a commitment to excellence. David and his staff always went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of, from arranging inspections to finding qualified people to do any necessary repairs. He came to the house in a tropical storm to make sure that everything was ship-shape and to see if I required any assistance. He was especially knowledgeable about my neighborhood and was able to answer questions and help a buyer understand living on a marsh. He has lived on Hilton Head his whole life and the knowledge he has gained from that is incredibly broad and helpful to buyers and sellers alike.

We have had the pleasure of working with Andy Reed on three real estate transactions.  We have bought, sold, and bought again with Andy.  It took us a couple of years to decide to sell our first house and buy something else.  Andy was extremely patient with us.  We never felt pressured to do something we weren’t ready to do.  His knowledge of the market and experience is vast which helped us in getting top dollar for our home and the best deal we could on our new property.  Communication is key when buying and selling real estate from a far.  Andy and his assistant, Ashley, were phenomenal communicators and handled every minute detail for us.  I don’t know what we would have done without them.  I don’t know what the future holds, but rest assured, if I buy or sell another property in Hilton Head, Andy Reed will be the first phone call I make.

We first became acquainted with the John Weber Team at Charter One through watching John's videos. Once we made the decision to move from California to Sun City Hilton Head, we connected with Carolyn Welch. She was exceptional to work with! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind, and helped us through every step of the way, including referrals for home inspection, closing attorney, and information about getting our utilities set up. Carolyn treated us like friends or family, and it was appreciated throughout the six-month process. I would highly recommend Carolyn for your next home purchase!

It was serendipity that brought us together with Marisa as we began our exploration of the Lowcountry and Bluffton area, in general.  And it all blossomed from there. Marisa is fun and friendly, which make long days of touring communities and houses a whole lot more enjoyable. And she is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the process. We truly enjoyed her approach of introducing us first to the communities and helping us narrow down the list of choices to a much more manageable subset. She took the time to get to know us and try to understand how we described our likes and wants, so she could help us to first identify the community that is right for us. And she explained why this is an important step in the process.  Because we were coming in from out of town, she did a very nice job of being our “boots on the ground“. Marisa is also very professional and helped us through the entire home buying process. As others have noted, her service and care extended beyond signing the contract, as she helped us with utilities, with ideas about where to purchase furniture, etc. We are pleased to call Marisa a friend, now, and highly recommend her.

We have been working with Marisa Cain as we plan our move to the Bluffton area in the next couple of years, and we couldn't be more impressed. Even though we're still in the early stages of our search, Marisa has been incredibly generous with her time, knowledge, and expertise.She is truly a wealth of information about Bluffton and the surrounding communities. From helping us understand the different communities and lifestyles to answering countless questions about the area, she has been an invaluable resource. What sets Marisa apart is not only her professionalism and deep market knowledge, but also the genuine care she shows for her clients.Marisa is the kind of realtor who makes you feel like you're working with a trusted friend. We are so grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Bluffton area.

Selling my townhouse on Hilton Head Island while living in Connecticut could have been stressful, but David Hill made it easy. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the island and the real estate climate there. I especially appreciated how well-connected he was—he coordinated seamlessly with my property manager, lawyer and various contractors to facilitate a seamless sale and closing. I always felt confident everything was taken care of. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated real estate agent.

Andy Reed at the Reed Team has helped me with 3 properties since I have been buying property in Hilton Head.  The first one was when we wanted to sell our property in Sea Pines to build another house. Andy did a fantastic job of determining what we needed to do- to sell the house and then how the house would best show.  Small things to us as buyers, but only items that a “Good Realtor” would know: some of the things Andy helped us with: “cut some limbs so you can see the house better”  “Power-wash the house so it is clean”  Things that to a seller, we really didn’t notice, but to someone, like Andy – he knew what it would take to sell the house!  Our house sold in about 3 weeks!  Man we were surprised!  Then on to the building process, that Andy helped us find a builder and helped us review the floor plan to determine the best house we could build (by the way he wasn’t even making a commission).  Although, I guess Andy knows how to keep a customer – because since Andy had helped us so much on the last sell, we asked him to be our Realtor on a purchase we made in order to live – until our house was built. NOW we are in our DREAM HOME and have Andy to help us sell our other house.  Andy is always available and helpful in anything you ask him!!!  Thanks Andy for a job well done!

Christina did a wonderful, professional job selling my mother's house.  The whole process, from signing her listing contract to the closing at the attorney's office, was a breeze...because she knows what she's doing.  She convinced me she would get more money for the sale of the house than I could trying to sell it on my own...and she did!  I was going to be away for the summer and knew I could trust her to take care of anything that might come up.  She took time to do the extra things too...the house was empty, so she did house checks to make sure everything was OK.  She even arranged to have a fallen large tree branch removed from the property.  I have no hesitation in saying you won't be disappointed with her commitment to selling your house.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Shelley and Gary! I’ve bought and sold 8 homes and this process was by far most supportive and enjoyable. They recently handled both a sale and purchase, all which took place in 2 quick months. They both went above and beyond every aspect of the sales. Their knowledge of the market and home buying process is without flaw. I hope to refer many clients to them in the future! I’m very thankful I made the decision to work with them.

“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.”

“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!”

We decided to list our home during difficult times with Covid-19. We were very concerned about people coming in and out of our house and Richard established a showing criteria that prospective buyers must meet prior to coming in the home and during their walkthrough which was for the safety of all concerned. With that said we listed the home at a price that Richard felt was right for the area. There was some criticism from other realtors that the price was too high. Richard was firm on his evaluation and pricing for the home. He was obviously right because the home sold in two days at the listing price. From there it was smooth sailing until closing. Richard handled all aspects of the process and was in constant contact with us. If you're looking for an agent, we would highly recommend him.

Look no further, David Wedgeworth is your guy. We had the pleasure of working with David for three real estate transactions over the last year and a half. From immediately talking with David we could tell he had the local knowledge, drive to sell our properties, and a genuineness that put us at ease. He was always available to answer questions and kept us informed on all the details throughout our transactions. He truly went above and beyond helping us find trusted companies for repairs that needed to be made and even met them at our home when we were unable to be there. He took away any stress that comes with buying and selling property. We are so thankful for David and his exceptional group over at The Wedgeworth Team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless real estate transaction.

We started a search for Hilton Head properties a few months ago when we were connected to Daniel and Deb Cort. When I spoke to Daniel he listened to exactly what I was looking for and what I wanted to do. He offered up his suggestions as a friend would when helping you to make a decision. My wife and I immediately felt very comfortable with his tremendous knowledge of the Island and the best places to look. He was able to walk us through properties while we were in FL and his attention to detail was amazing as we bought a property without actually walking through it. We were able to do this because of the trust and faith we quickly put in him and his team. When we started the process of the offer and negotiation, his wife Deb took over and her attention to detail and follow up was AMAZING. Again, we were doing this from 4 hours away and needed someone to represent us as they would a family member. That is truly what they have become to us. We then got a number of suggestions from them on handymen and rental agents and they have all been spot on. I can't give enough of a 5 star rating here as I would love to give more. They treated us like family and when you are making a large purchase it can be overwhelming. They truly went the extra mile to do more than asked!

"I have experienced several moves over the years and this most recent move was the most challenging. I interviewed three realty firms and there was no contest. Austin Stokes and Ethan James, the Ethan James Team, of Charter One came to meet me ready to listen to my expectations and with a very professional presentation of how they wanted to market my home and were as interested as I in getting my home sold. Austin promised me he would help me in any way I needed from start to finish. This was more than just a sales pitch, a nice gesture. He has taken boxes for donations, trash bags out, and checked in often to see if I needed help with anything. He meant every word. Austin and Ethan are the knowledgeable, hardworking, professional gentlemen to whom you want to trust the buying or selling of your home."

We had the pleasure to work with Drew recently, representing us in two real estate transactions, buying and selling. Drew made these transactions completely uneventful and extremely easy. We liked his communication style and sense of urgency. We described to him the characteristics of the property we were looking for and he provided a package with valuable detailed information for us to evaluate the properties during the showings. We were able to make our decision immediately after the showings. Based on our experience, Drew cares genuinely about his customers. He is very professional, experienced, and trustworthy. We will definitely work with Drew on our next real estate transaction and we highly recommend him to anyone.

His extensive knowledge of the area guided us to our dream property, his shrewd negotiating skills ensured that we secured the best possible price, and his professionalism and attention to detail guaranteed that everything came together seamlessly. Alex will forever be our Realtor when the need arises, but now he is also our good friend!

We have used Christina to represent us in the past.  When it came time to sell our Port Royal Home, we knew who to call.  Christina made the sale of our home so easy.  At our 1st meeting, she quickly and efficiently explained the complicated documents.  Christina advised us on preparing our home to present to prospective buyers.  We had over 25 showings! We received multiple offers and once again, she guided us with suggestions to facilitate the best offer and terms.  Christina’s advise was extremely important.  Christina is GREAT!

All I can say is wow!!! I was trying to sell my parents' home following their passing and was very concerned and worried. When I engaged The Elliott Team, everything from our first meeting all the way through settlement went smoothly and quickly. I was nervous, but the Team was always there with advice and words of encouragement. The experience was so seamless that when and if I need to sell my home, I will engage them again. I've even referred The Team to a couple of friends and neighbors. They are the best!
