Beaufort Best Buys: Dataw Island Condo & Habersham Lot

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012 at 10:28pm. 75 Views, 0 Comments.

Dataw Island condoSometimes, a property price will just jump up and grab you. During recent research via the Beaufort Multiple Listing Service on behalf of a pair of prospective buyers, we came across a couple of such properties. One is a homesite in Habersham, and the other is a condo on Dataw Island.

The old real estate investor saying is that you make your money when you buy your property, not when you sell.

The Habersham homesite has just been reduced to an eye-popping $23,900. Before the real estate bubble busted, this same  homesite was listed for $104,000, and even at that price was the least expensive lot in the neighborhood, by about $40,000 at the time. This homesite sold for more than $60,000 back in 2007.

The Dataw Island condo is listed at $132,000, down from…


Now That's How You Make Money in the Beaufort SC Real Estate Market

Saturday, October 22nd, 2011 at 10:40pm. 96 Views, 0 Comments.

Now, this is how you make your money in real estate -- Buy low, sell high, and then buy back into the market again at a low price.

As I was perusing Beaufort real estate data the other night, I came across a homesite in Habersham which I helped an owner sell in 2005 for $400,000. Habersham is located at the confluence of Habersham Creek and the Broad River, and features perhaps the best amenities package in Beaufort. The developers of Habersham are creating a true, self-contained community, with a town center complete with restaurants, shops and businesses.

This particular seller I represented on this Habersham homesite had purchased the property in 2001 for $110,000. So he did very well the first time around.

This homesite is now available for $249,000,…


Habersham Continues to Blossom Despite the Naysayers

Thursday, September 15th, 2011 at 11:04pm. 91 Views, 0 Comments.

habersham_living_room_404It is so easy to be fall in love with Habersham, one of Beaufort, SC's most sought-after communities. As much as any other community in Beaufort, Habersham has the ability to reach out and really grab you.

Habersham features a river-front pool with viewing tower, a fabulous tennis center, a children's play area constructed of salvaged Redwood trees, oak-lined boulevards, a bustling town center with thriving businesses, and old-style architecture which hearkens back to Beaufort at the turn of the 20th Century.

And yet, many real estate observers predicted doom for Habersham's development team when the neighborhood broke ground in the late-1990s. The reasons among naysayers were --

  • Habersham is just too far from Historic Downtown Beaufort.
  • Nobody wants to live…
