The secret is out – it’s going to be a great year on Kiawah!

Coming off Charleston’s recent recognition by Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards as the ‘No. 1 Top City in the U.S.’ in 2011 and the upcoming PGA Championship this August, Kiawah Island will proudly welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors, guests and residents to its warm shores. With economic factors already improving, the PGA Championship alone is expected to bring a $193 million economic impact to the region.

Also, Kiawah’s real estate market is showing signs of improvement with KIRE’s available single family home inventory on the decline more than 30% from its peak in 2009. Movement within the villa and cottage market is steady, and we expect that homesites will see an upward trend as buyers decide to purchase land and build due to reduced single family home inventory.

As you peruse Kiawah Island Real Estate’s first Best Buys of 2012, consider this to be the year you purchase your first or next property on Kiawah and enjoy the Island’s incomparable lifestyle. Excitement is building for the coming months and years, and we are ready to share it with you!
