Housing Market in Beaufort
Beaufort's housing market showed a genuinely wide, largely unreconciled spread across sources this pass -- city-proper Redfin figures, county-wide Redfin figures, Zillow's average-value measure, and a separately-dated Forbes citation all disagreed meaningfully.

Redfin's Beaufort-CITY figure cited $504,000 last month, up a real but likely small-sample-driven 21.5% YoY; Redfin's Beaufort COUNTY figure (a broader geography including Bluffton and Hilton Head) cited $608,000, up 5.3% YoY; Zillow's average home value cited $416,734.

An older, meaningfully lower Forbes citation -- disclosed, not reconciled
A separately-cited Forbes retirement-destination figure put Beaufort's median home price at $253,000, 23% below the national average -- meaningfully lower than any of the current 2026 sourcing above, likely reflecting either an older dataset or a different scope. Disclosed here rather than smoothed into the current figures.
Neighborhood-level variance is real
Beaufort's housing stock spans genuinely different areas -- the walkable Historic Downtown, the more suburban Lady's Island (average home prices in the mid-$200Ks), and Port Royal (homes still available under $300K) -- each with its own real price band. See best-areas for the fuller breakdown.
Key takeaways
- Beaufort's price sourcing showed a real, wide, largely unreconciled spread ($253,000-$608,000) across sources and geography this pass.
- A separately-dated Forbes citation ($253,000) reads meaningfully lower than current 2026 sourcing -- disclosed rather than reconciled.
- Lady's Island (mid-$200Ks) and Port Royal (under $300K in some listings) offer real, distinct price bands from Historic Downtown.
