            <title>Somerset Point Offers Well-Built Homes at Affordable Prices</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ For a Realtor, there are few things as satisfying as a golf cart ride through one of Beaufort, SC's thriving new community, on a cool December evening, just before the sun dips below the horizon.I had a blast showing property the other night at Somerset Point, a terrific neighborhood along the Coosaw River. Somerset Point has been one of 2011's true real estate success stories in Beaufort. According to statistics provided via the Beaufort Multiple Listing Service, there have been 17 homes which ... ]]> </description>

            <title>Beaufort SC Homes Offer Plenty of Wow Factor</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ We are seeing more and more properties in the Beaufort and Lowcountry area that have that wow factor. A home or homesite possesses the wow factor when it is listed -- or sells for -- a price which you just wouldn't have imagined a few years ago.For instance, earlier this week, a 3000-plus square foot tidal creek home on Lady's Island, one of Beaufort's best residential areas, went under contract for less than $525,000. Just a short while ago, this Pleasant Point home would have been likely liste... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ A few years ago, if you put the words &quot;deep-water homesite&quot; in the same sentence with &quot;Lady's Island,&quot;&nbsp; you were generally talking about a property which would cost a minimum of $600,000, maybe more.Not so, anymore. Like every other segment of Beaufort's real estate market, the Lady's Island deep-water market has responded to the sluggish sales of recent years, and prices have been reduced. It's now possible to purchase a homesite with spectacular views of downtown Beauf... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ It seems that every week I am reminded how quickly home buyers have to act if they are going to capitalize on some of the tremendous real estate opportunities in Beaufort, SC. When these properties are reduced beyond a certain price threshold, buyers are going to move, and they often move in masse. And these are going to move lightning quick.The latest example can be found at a tidal creek home in Walling Grove, a deep-water neighborhood on Lady's Island. Homes in Walling Grove range in price fr... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ Beaufort, SC, and the surrounding area has a varied, bustling, and exciting real estate market, from the oceanfront mansions of Harbor Island and Fripp Island, to 200-plus year old homes in downtown Beaufort's &quot;Old Point&quot; neighborhood. But, for many Beaufort Realtors and real estate observers, the backbone of Beaufort's real estate market are the five &quot;main areas,&quot; which are comprised of Beaufort, Mossy Oaks, Port Royal, Burton, and Lady's Island. These five areas create the ... ]]> </description>

Do not ever underestimate the importance of &quot;value.&quot; Take Somerset Point on Lady's Island, which is one of Beaufort, SC's main residential hubs.Somerset Point languished for several years as the very unsuccessful Coosaw River Estates, a neighborhood which attempted to exploit the $350,000 to $400,000 price point, which was riding high in the early to mid-2000s.
