Beaufort County, SC: Foreclosures, Tax Liens & Distressed Properties

Across Beaufort County, South Carolina, DLRadar grades every ZIP for foreclosure, mortgage, tax and bank-stress distress. The county's ZIP scores run from 34 up to 41/100. Bank/credit headwind for the county is 45 on a 0–100 scale, a moderate reading. Coverage runs to 16 ZIPs across Beaufort County, a moderate 40/100 average.

The county market is in a peak phase: home prices rose 4.0% over the past year (phase confidence 51/100). With pricing topped out, distress turns selective so screen ZIP by ZIP.

Near the cycle top at +4.0% YoY (51/100 confidence), the discount lives in outliers well beyond the county average. A moderate 45/100 lender headwind implies both signal sets in play here.

Top distress by ZIP runs 29902 (41/100), 29904 (41/100), 29905 (41/100), 29906 (41/100), 29907 (41/100), 29910 (41/100), listed with every scored ZIP below. Also scored across the county: 29915, 29920, 29926, 29928, 29935, 29940, 29941, 29909, 29945, 29927.

Underneath the scores, Beaufort County's scored ZIPs report typical home values near $519,550, an owner-occupied share of 72%, household income averaging about $85,067, roughly at the national median, a median age of 47, 18.6% of households below the poverty line, a 20.9% vacancy rate. Income, equity and tenure like these set up who is forced to sell and how readily the market absorbs it.

With a moderate 40/100 reading over 16 ZIPs, Beaufort County is a screen-by-ZIP market rather than a blanket buy. Subscribers get each Beaufort County parcel's owner, address and APN, a score, the bank behind the note and how fast it should sell.

The distress read for Beaufort County, South Carolina is refreshed as new public records post and uses the same methodology coast to coast, so Beaufort County stays directly comparable to any other market you track.

Beaufort County, South Carolina is best worked from the top of the score down; blanket outreach across Beaufort County dilutes effort that the ZIP-level numbers would have focused. Every figure traces to a public federal or county source — recorder and court records for foreclosure and liens, FHFA for the price cycle, FDIC for lender stress — and DLRadar leaves a signal blank rather than estimating where Beaufort County data is thin.

Drilling in, Beaufort County's highest-scoring ZIPs are 29902 (41/100), 29904 (41/100), 29905 (41/100), 29906 (41/100), 29907 (41/100), 29910 (41/100). DLRadar also scores 29915, 29920, 29926, 29928, 29935, 29940, 29941, 29909 and more across the county. Every one of these is scored independently — a ZIP's composite reflects its own recorded distress, which is why the county average alone hides where the real pressure sits.

Under Beaufort County's headline composite sit distinct layers — recorded foreclosures, tax and lien delinquency, mortgage stress and bank headwind — each scored separately before they roll up, so the same total can describe very different markets.
