beaufort sc real estate: Light up the Night Boat Parade in Beaufort South Carolina - 12/09/08 08:09 AM
I missed Light up the Night Boat Parade this year!  I simply over-booked my weekend.  I hosted the following events this weekend; Night on the Town, RE/MAX Holiday Party, and the Christmas Parade, but I missed one of my favorite events....Well, in the spirit of Christmas, I could not let this event go by without including it in my blog, so instead of my photos, here is a link to The Beaufort Gazette's article on Light up the Night Boat Parade. Enjoy!

If this isn't a wake-up call to all of those buyers sitting on the fence waiting for the bottom of the real estate market to be reached.......

Also, there are some fantastic deals with Short Sales, Foreclosures, and a Buyer's Market for the first time in many years.
