CONTACT ME ABOUT NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND CONVERSION PROJECTS
GOING ON IN DOWNTOWN BEAUFORT!

Condominium conversions are thriving in the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton area. They have managed to push rental market conditions to all-time highs in occupancy as well as rental rates. Over the past two years, 1,134 units have been converted or are currently converting to condominiums, and 728 additional units slated for conversion within the next 12 months. In 2003, conversions represented approximately 36 percent of the 3,106 units in Hilton Head/Bluffton. With only 1,972 units remaining in the area, the additional conversions will move the rate closer to 60 percent. However, as stated before, a high number of converted units are being sold to investors, which is creating a “phantom rental pool.” So, the loss to the rental pool is not as significant as the numbers show. Brighton Bay, Preserve at Indigo Run, Old South and The Legends were among the first conversions in Hilton Head/Bluffton, while more recent conversions include Pine Court, Colonial at Ashley River Plantation and Westbury Park. Retail pricing for conversion sales range from $180 per square foot to more than $200 per square foot on Hilton Head Island and from $115 per square foot to more than $230 per square foot in Bluffton. Other recent developments include a portion of the Old Carolina Golf Course, which is being redeveloped for 200 new multifamily units, and the 156-unit multifamily Phase II of the Lakes at Myrtle Park which is also under construction. The Montecito Company, which recently converted the Estate at Westbury Park, is planning another conversion in the Low Country this year…………please contact me to find out when and where, I am a REALTOR® VIP member and recently sold a record number of units at Westbury.

No one has sold more conversion units that I have since these apartments began converting with Brighton Bay. My clients and I have done extremely well over the years, purchasing these at rock bottom prices as they convert. By getting in on the ground floor, we are building instant equity, putting a tenant in place in some cases, and selling them a few years later for a large profit! I am right there with my clients purchasing property at these conversions and we ALL have done well!
