Real Estate Market Update: Bluffton & Hilton Head
November 2025
The November 2025 MLS data confirms a noticeable shift across the Bluffton and Hilton Head housing markets. Inventory is expanding, days on market are rising, and price trends now vary depending on location and property type. Below is a clear breakdown of how each segment performed, based entirely on the most recent REsides® and Hilton Head Area Association of REALTORS® releases.
Bluffton Market (29909 & 29910)
Bluffton posted mixed results in November. Listing activity slowed, pricing declined, and homes required significantly longer marketing periods—yet closed sales still increased.
According to the report:
- New Listings: 167, down from 182 last year (-8.2%)
- Closed Sales: 172, up from 162 (+6.2%)
- Median Sales Price: dropped from $592,950 to $535,395 (-9.7%)
- Percent of List Price Received: decreased from 98.1% to 97.0%

In simple terms: Bluffton is softer on pricing, slower to sell, and stocked with slightly more available homes. Even so, buyer activity remained steady enough to push closed sales higher.
Hilton Head Island – Condos & Villas
Hilton Head’s condo and villa segment slowed in both new listings and closed sales, but pricing held firm and inventory expanded.
The latest data shows:
- New Listings: 68, down from 85 (-20.0%)
- Closed Sales: 61, down from 71 (-14.1%)
- Median Sales Price: increased from $535,000 to $545,000 (+1.9%)
- Percent of List Price Received: moved from 96.9% to 96.0%
- Days on Market: stretched from 74 to 127 days (+72.2%)
- Inventory: increased from 349 to 405 units (+16.0%)

In simple terms: condos are taking longer to sell and fewer transactions are closing, but prices are still inching upward and buyers have more to choose from.
Hilton Head Island – Detached Single-Family Homes
Detached homes on Hilton Head posted a different pattern: fewer listings, more closed sales, higher pricing, and longer market times.
Verified figures include:
- New Listings: 71, down from 80 (-11.3%)
- Closed Sales: 54, up from 45 (+20.0%)
- Median Sales Price: increased from $1,175,000 to $1,215,000 (+3.4%)
