Sell your house
in Myrtle Beach
at the right price.

Your home's value depends on property type, exact location, condition, floor or view if applicable, and recent comparable sales in your specific neighborhood or building. As of 2026, median the single-family median across the Grand Strand was about $360,000 in mid-2026, and the condo median about $244,000. Oceanfront units command significant premiums. The most accurate way to know is a Comparative Market Analysis from a local listing agent. Zillow and Redfin AVMs are routinely off by 10 to 25% in Myrtle Beach's segmented condo and condotel market because they cannot account for view, floor, building amenities, rental program status, or HOA financial health.

Myrtle Beach is balanced and leaning buyer-friendly in 2026. SFH inventory sits at approximately 4.3 months of supply (condos run higher at about 7.6 months), average days on market run about 121 days for properties not priced and marketed correctly, and the sale-to-list ratio is around 96%. Sellers who price accurately and market well are still closing. Overpricing by 5 to 10% is the single most common and costly mistake in this market.

February through July is historically the strongest selling window in Myrtle Beach. Peak buyer activity runs March through June. Listings launched in late winter typically see more showings, faster offers, and better list-to-sale ratios than fall and winter listings. Vacation buyers tour in spring, retirees often plan summer moves, and families want to close before the school year starts.

The market average is about 121 days on market. That number reflects homes that sit because of overpricing or weak marketing. Well-priced, well-presented homes in the right sub-market regularly sell in 30 to 60 days. Condos take longer on average due to higher inventory at about 7.6 months supply. Pricing it correctly from day one is the single biggest factor in how fast your home sells.

Yes. South Carolina permits e-signature on listing agreements and remote online notarization in most residential transactions. Your closing attorney can prepare a Power of Attorney if needed. We coordinate photography, lockbox, showings, repairs, and inspection access. You receive weekly written and video market updates. The vast majority of our listings are from out-of-state owners who never need to travel for the sale.

South Carolina sellers typically pay: deed stamps at $3.70 per $1,000 of sale price; seller's attorney fees typically $500 to $1,200; pro-rated property taxes; mortgage payoff and recording fees; any HOA estoppel or transfer fees ($100 to $400 at most Grand Strand HOAs); and the negotiated listing commission. Out-of-state sellers are also subject to South Carolina nonresident withholding at the state's top individual rate (5.21% for 2026 sales, or 5% for entities), which the closing attorney remits to the SC Department of Revenue and which is credited back on your SC return.

Yes. South Carolina is a mandatory attorney state. A licensed South Carolina attorney must conduct the closing, perform the title search, and record the deed. This applies whether the buyer pays cash or finances. We work with several experienced Grand Strand closing attorneys and can recommend one based on your transaction type.

Real estate commissions are fully negotiable and not set by law. Following the August 2024 NAR settlement, sellers are no longer required to compensate the buyer's agent through the MLS. Sellers and listing brokers negotiate the listing-side commission separately. Any compensation offered to a buyer's broker is disclosed in writing and approved by the seller in advance. We explain every option and the trade-offs for your specific property and market conditions before you sign anything.

No. Post-NAR settlement, you decide if and how much to offer a buyer's agent at listing time or in response to specific offers. Many sellers in Myrtle Beach still choose to offer buyer-broker compensation as an incentive to widen their buyer pool. This is a strategic decision we walk through with you based on your property type and target buyer profile.

A Comparative Market Analysis is a price opinion prepared by a local listing agent based on recent comparable sales, active competition, expired listings, your home's specific features and condition, and current market dynamics. Zillow and Redfin estimates are algorithmic and routinely off by 10 to 25% in Myrtle Beach because they cannot account for view, floor, building amenities, rental program status, or HOA financial health. In a segmented coastal market, a human CMA is not just better, it's the only reliable way to price correctly.

Yes, selling with active bookings is routine. Under South Carolina Code Section 27-50-250, the buyer takes title subject to existing vacation rental agreements for periods beginning within 90 days of deed recording. Bookings are typically transferred or honored, and rental income is pro-rated at closing. We package your rental history as an investment asset, not a complication, and target investor buyers who want yield data.

South Carolina's Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act (SC Code Section 27-50-10) requires sellers to deliver a written disclosure based on actual knowledge before contract execution. This covers structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, water systems, environmental hazards, prior repairs, and HOA matters. Knowing omissions or false statements can result in actual damages, court costs, and attorney fees, with a three-year liability window post-sale. Full transparency is always the safer and less expensive path.

Inherited property sales are routine. The first step is confirming who has authority to sell, typically the executor named in the will or a court-appointed administrator. We coordinate with your probate attorney, manage access and cleanout remotely, and price based on current market value. Capital gains on inherited property are generally assessed against the stepped-up basis at date of death, which often results in minimal tax for heirs. We recommend confirming this with your estate attorney or CPA before closing.

Strategic, not exhaustive, repair is the goal. Over-improvement rarely returns the investment in a buyer's market. We walk every property before listing and recommend a targeted prep list focused on three things: items a home inspector will flag, cosmetic items with high visual return (paint, flooring, entry landscaping), and condition-of-systems items that affect appraisal (HVAC, water heater age). We do not recommend speculative renovations in this market.

If your home is not generating showings or offers in the first 14 to 30 days, it is a pricing or marketing signal, not a market problem. We re-evaluate weekly, share showing feedback transparently, and discuss repositioning options including price adjustment, marketing refresh, or a temporary withdrawal and relaunch. We do not run passive listings. If the data points to a pricing conversation, we have it, before you lose another 30 days chasing a number the market will not support.

Yes. Our off-market investor buyers usually prefer as-is: no repairs, no showings, no public listing. If the house passes our investment analysis, an investor typically buys within about half the average time on market. A retail listing usually nets more, so we show you both numbers first.

On the open market it depends on the price and the property type, and we track current days on market for your exact segment. Off market is faster: when a house passes our investment analysis, an investor usually closes in about half the average time on market.

List it when you want the most money and can wait for the right buyer. Sell off market when you want a fast, sure sale. We run your numbers both ways, show you the difference side by side, and you decide.
