What this means if you're buying
Beaufort isn't one market, so start by picking the ZIP that fits your budget.
- 29906 is the most affordable. Asking prices ($387,244) sit close to recent sale prices ($375,000), so expect fewer big discounts but a lower entry price.
- 29907 may offer the most room to negotiate. Median asking price is $599,000 against a $505,000 median sold price. That gap can also reflect pricier homes on the market right now, so compare similar homes before you assume a discount.
- In 29902, don't assume a discount. The median asking price ($432,215) is below the median sold price ($466,000).
- Check flood zone and insurance first. Beaufort is low-lying and coastal, so get an insurance quote before you make an offer.
