With mortgage rates still holding above 7%—the 30-year fixed currently at 7.12% due to ongoing inflation and Federal Reserve policy—navigating the home search takes strategy and insight. Interestingly, fall often brings a shift: home prices are about 5% lower than in summer, opening the door to more negotiation opportunities as the market cools and inventory rises. Having spent years steering clients through fast-moving, high-stakes environments in global finance, I’ve learned that patience and careful negotiation can make a real difference, even when rates seem daunting. Thoughtful buyers willing to look beyond the headlines may find that this season offers unexpected advantages.

Bluffton neighbors, lace up for the Old Town Oyster Run 5K on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Oyster Factory Park. This professionally timed family race winds through historic Old Town Bluffton, offering beautiful views of the river and surrounding marsh.

Whether you are chasing a personal best, enjoying a relaxed run, or cheering from the sidelines, the event is a welcoming way to spend the day together. Participants can look forward to awards and a post-race gathering that brings runners, families, and friends together.

As a local real estate agent, I love highlighting events that showcase the lifestyle and community spirit that make Bluffton such a special place to call home. Add the race to your calendar, invite your neighbors, and make a day of exploring Old Town.
