The Sun City Hilton Head Monthly Market Report
May 2025 | SECTION B | Volume 14 I Issue 5 The April 2025 market data for Sun City Hilton Head highlights a cooling trend, with several key indicators pointing toward a shift in momentum. New listings dropped 24% year-over-year, with only 75 homes coming to market compared to 99 in April 2024. Closed sales followed suit, falling 15%, signaling softer buyer activity. Despite the slowdown, home values remained remarkably stable. The median sales price ticked up slightly by 0.3% to $512,410, indicating continued buyer confidence in Sun City’s long-term value. Sellers, however, are facing growing competition. Inventory surged 62%—from 136
homes last April to 219 this year—providing buyers with more options and putting pressure on pricing. One of the more telling signs of a market shift is the decline in pending sales, which dropped from 67 in April 2024 to just 50 this April. Additionally, sellers received slightly less of their asking price, with the average percent of list price received slipping to 97.78%, down 0.6%. How Can I Assist You?
