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 listed in the mid-$700,000-range.

The original listing date for this property was in May of 2008.  The price (get ready to be shocked) $649,000.  From the original price, reduction is 38%.

This past winter, my wife and I took a look at the inside of the home, and it is just
