July 2025 Beaufort City Real Estate Market Update

The charming historic streets of Beaufort City continue to see steady real estate activity through July 2025. Whether you're drawn to the antebellum homes, waterfront views, or small-town southern charm, now is a great time to assess market conditions if you're considering buying or selling in Downtown Beaufort, SC.

Current Listings: Higher-End Inventory Dominates

As of this report, active listings in Beaufort City average 83 days on market with an average asking price of $950,000. This elevated price point reflects the area's unique historic and waterfront properties, many of which offer architectural significance and walkable access to the waterfront park and shops downtown.

Homes currently available on the market vary widely in size and style, with many featuring custom details and Southern charm. While average square footage data isn’t available, the price per square foot in this district typically runs high due to the desirable location and limited inventory.

Pending Sales: Buyers Seeking Value

The average list price for homes under contract is currently around $567,000, with an average time on market of 93 days prior to going under contract. These pending properties typically offer 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, suggesting continued demand for mid-size homes that balance charm with practicality.

The 93-day average on the market suggests that while buyers are being selective, well-priced homes with strong location appeal are still moving at a healthy pace. If you're a seller, accurate pricing and strategic marketing remain essential in this competitive range.

Closed Sales: A Balanced Summer for Sellers

July also brought encouraging numbers for sellers, with sold properties averaging $683,000 in list price and spending about 68 days on the market. This relatively quick turnaround underscores the continued strength of the Beaufort City market, particularly for homes that blend historical appeal with updated features.

Like the pending sales, sold homes are averaging 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, reinforcing consistent buyer preferences across the board.

  • Under Contract: $567K avg. price | 93 DOM | 3 bed, 2 bath
