Is new construction in Sullivan's Island a good investment?

New construction on Sullivan's Island can be a strong investment when flood elevation, insurance costs, and the island's strict building and short-term rental rules are all priced into the deal before you buy, not discovered afterward. Because so little land remains buildable on the island, new homes here tend to hold value differently than new construction inland, but that also means fewer comparable sales to judge a fair price against.
