What are your plans this July 4th?


Here's an option. Melrose is putting on a free beach concert  with American Idol finalist, Casey Abrams. What a great way to spend your 4th of July! At 6pm, there is a poolside cocktail party with a DJ then dinner is served at 7pm. Traditional American cuisine will be served featuring BBQ chicken, baby back ribs, pulled pork, ham biscuits and all the sides. Bring a blanket and catch the concert then the Harbourtown and Savannah fireworks. They even provide you with the red and blue accessories, all you have to do is wear white.

Are You Still Sitting On The Fence?


Are you still sitting on the fence about purchasing real estate? You may want to consider making a move!

 


 One consistent trend that we are seeing in the real estate market is this… once a well-priced, nicely updated home hits the market, it’s gone within a week or two. Buyers take notice that this year’s real estate values on Hilton Head have increased 11.1% from the first 5 months of last year. Hilton Head and Bluffton prices ARE on the rise. If you’re shopping for a new home and you find one you love, DON’T WAIT. Chances are someone else has seen it and is getting ready to put in an offer today.  Even the second home buyers seem to be returning. This morning, we were helping clients find their million dollar vacation home on Hilton Head.

Leslie and Scott Tyree backed out of a contract in 2011 to buy a weekend place in Hilton Head, South Carolina, fearing they’d be anchored to a sinking market for second homes. This year, the West Virginia couple pounced on a listing in the same resort town without visiting the property.

Picnics on Hilton Head Island


Picnics on Hilton Head Island
 
Summertime is meant to be spent outdoors with family and friends. In the Lowcountry, so many of us spend our weekends at the beach or even on a remote river sandbar. I love packing a picnic for our long days on the boat.

I usually go for the items that don’t require much assembly and use Tupperware instead of packaging and wrapping. Less trash is always best! Most of our choices are grab and go. Take a peek into our Hilton Head picnic basket.

1.       Wraps - These are easy to throw together and can be cut into smaller portions. Easy for small hands and great for the adult looking for a small meal.

 

2.       Whole Fruit - We usually include fruits like grapes or apples. Our favorite is the clementine. Easy to peel and our kids love them.

3.       Nuts - Instead of the bag of potato chips, we usually turn to nuts. Roasted almonds are always a favorite with our crew.

4.       Couscous or Pasta Salad - If I know we are spending a full day out, I’ll throw in a light pasta salad or even a fresh cucumber and tomato salad.

 

5.       Sweet Treat - Homemade oatmeal raisin cookies are always a crowd pleaser.

6.       Water Water Water - Staying hydrated is so important. We usually partially freeze our water before we go. That way when we need it, it’s that perfect cool temperature.
