Bluffton, SC

Well, we know that people are moving here, but no where is it more apparent than the upswing in sales - and prices - in Sun City Hilton Head (not actually on the Hilton Head Island by the way). The average age in Sun City has also dropped and this lively community of over 7,000 people continues to grow. Beginning on the Beaufort County 'side' of Highway 278, Sun City now straddles the highway into Jasper County.

As the chart shows, prices are up - and this, by the way, does not show the in-house sales by Pulte but just the re-sales! Lots of good opportunities.
