Myrtle Beach Real Estate

When considering Myrtle Beach South Carolina Real Estate most buyers are looking at the areas from Little River down to Pawley’s Island; commonly known as the “Grand Strand”. In essence the Myrlte Beach Area is a 60 mile stretch of South Carolina real estate on the coast which has become a very desired section of the Eastern United States. There are five main reasons that I think attract individuals to the Myrtle Beach Real Estate Market. Although there are other intentions for why individuals may buy in the Myrtle Beach area, I think that most shoppers are attracted to golf, investments, 2nd homes, retirement and altogether relocation.

Myrtle Beach has earned the name of being the “Coastal Golf Capital of the World”. As a result of this popularity many golfers now purchase Condos in Myrtle Beach. With over 100 golf courses to choose from in the area, it is not hard to find a home or condo around a golf course. Investing in Oceanfront Condos in Myrtle Beach has become very popular to many that like the idea of renting to vacationers while enjoying vacationing themselves to their properties. The Myrtle Beach area has become very popular as a 2nd home destination. With the first Baby-Boomers becoming of retirement age we have seen a number of people move South to the Carolina’s in particular Myrtle Beach. Many find Florida too warm or not close enough to their families. Therefore, Myrtle Beach becomes their destination, partially due to the fact that this town is full of activities for people of all ages. Many people decide to relocate to the area daily that may not be driven by the other 4 factors. The number of people relocating to the area has risen substantially over the past 10 years. Many move to the area to pursue whatever their passion for Myrtle Beach might be.

The prices of the Myrtle Beach housing market have dropped substantially over the past three years. Most of the real estate prices are back to what they were before the real estate boom that ended in 2006. Myrtle Beach New Homes developments have remained slow even as many are moving back into the market, because the building costs can’t hardly compete with values that can be found in a resale, or possibly a Myrtle Beach foreclosed property. Many are saying the bottom of the real estate market will be in the 3rd quarter of 2009 for Myrtle Beach, and I am already seeing more activity than I have in 4 years. Homes are at a discount, and now might be the time to buy.

Condos are located in all areas of The “Grand Strand” and can offer a relaxed lifestyle. Most condos in Myrtle Beach have Property Owner’s Association that manage the properties. For the most part these associations take care of all the common elements and the exterior of the building, leaving you the inside of you home to care for. There are so many complexes around the Myrtle Beach area, and each complex has its own association. I couldn’t possibly put all the information for these associations on this Myrtle Beach Real Estate website. If you know of an association that you have questions about please contact me. Also refer to our Myrtle Beach South Carolina Condos section of this site for more information on the types of Condos in Myrtle Beach, and units available in the condo complexes.

When considering a Myrtl Beach Luxury Home there are a few options that you should think about first . The most popular factor that drives a final decision is location, location, location. Most shoppers of luxury homes consider three options as far as location along the “Grand Strand”. Decide whether you would like your home on the oceanfront, on the Intracoastal Waterway or on a prestigious golf course with lots of amenities. The two most prestigious golf course communities around Myrtle Beach are Debordieu and the “Grande Dunes”. Most Intracoastal Waterway homes are found in Myrtle Beach near River Oaks Drive and northward to North Myrtle Beach near Cherry Grove. Luxurious oceanfront living can be found anywhere from Cherry Grove all the way to the southern tip of Pawley’s Island. Oceanfront homes are also used quite frequently as investment properties, and typically generate nice revenue streams.

Over the past few months, I have seen the sales of the luxury homes in Myrtle Beach increase. This is a direct result of huge discounts in some of the most prestigious area of the State. Homes in the “Grande Dunes” have been selling for fractions of the original prices for that community, and many of the oceanfront homes have been on the market for 2-3 years with many price reductions in between.
