📌 What This Means for You
Six of seven markets are now buyer’s or balanced markets — Longs remains the lone seller’s market holdout on the Strand. North Myrtle Beach’s median sold price surged 21.95% month-over-month to $487,807, one of the biggest single-month moves we’ve seen. Murrells Inlet median days jumped to 22 — still fast but up sharply. Overall it’s a favorable environment for buyers right now across most of the Grand Strand.
For Buyers
🏠 5 Tips for Buying in Today’s Market
Inventory is up and the market has shifted in your favor in most Grand Strand communities. Here’s how to make the most of it:
1. 🔍 Shop With More Leverage Than Last Year
With 7–9 months of inventory in most beach markets, you have real negotiating power. Don’t be afraid to make offers below list price, ask for closing cost concessions, or request repairs — especially on homes that have been sitting for 60+ days.
2. 💰 Get Pre-Approved Before You Look
The best homes — especially in Murrells Inlet (22 median days) and Pawleys Island (30 median days) — still move quickly. A pre-approval letter puts you in position to act immediately. We have trusted local lenders who can often get this done within 24 hours.
3. 📋 Don’t Skip the Home Inspection
In today’s market you have the time to be thorough. Always get a full home inspection — and consider a separate HVAC, pool, or wind mitigation inspection for coastal properties. These can save you thousands and give you additional negotiating leverage.
4. 🌀 Factor in Insurance from Day One
Coastal South Carolina insurance costs have shifted. Before falling in love with a home, get a ballpark insurance quote — especially for flood zones and older roofs. What looks affordable at first glance can look very different once you add full coverage.
5. 🏘 Look at Conway & Longs for Hidden Value
Conway’s median sold price of $310,000 and Longs at $338,700 offer some of the best value on the Grand Strand — with Longs prices actually up 5.19% this month. If you want to build equity and keep your payment manageable, these communities deserve a serious look.
For Sellers
🏷 5 Tips for Selling in Today’s Market
With more inventory competing for buyers’ attention, presentation and pricing matter more than ever. Here’s how to stand out:
1. 💵 Price It Right the First Time
Homes priced correctly from the start sell faster and closer to list price. With sold-to-list ratios ranging from 96.3%–98.5% across our markets, overpricing leads to price cuts and longer days on market — which buyers notice. A real comparative market analysis before listing is essential.
2. 📸 Professional Photos Are Non-Negotiable
Over 95% of buyers search online first. In a market with more choices, your photos are doing a lot of heavy lifting. Professional photography — including aerial drone shots where it adds value — is an essential part of any listing today.
3. 🎨 Declutter, Depersonalize, Deep Clean
Buyers need to envision themselves in the space. Remove personal photos, excess furniture, and clutter. A professional cleaning before photos and showings makes an enormous difference — this step costs very little and can add thousands to your final price.
4. 🌅 Use the Summer Season to Your Advantage
Summer brings out-of-state buyers who are visiting the Grand Strand and considering a move. Listing now keeps you in front of motivated buyers who are actively looking while they’re here — and those buyers often move quickly when they find the right home.
5. 🤝 Be Willing to Negotiate on Terms
Today’s buyers have more options but also real motivation. Being flexible on closing dates, offering a home warranty, or covering a portion of closing costs can close a deal when price negotiations stall. Small concessions often unlock big wins.
