Fall has officially settled over the Grand Strand. The air’s cooler, the beaches are quieter, and the market is shifting right along with the seasons. While most people are sipping pumpkin spice and waiting for spring, I’ll let you in on a little secret: this might actually be the perfect time to make your move.
Here’s what I’m seeing locally:
🏡 Home prices have steadied after a few years of wild swings.
📈 Inventory is slowly increasing, giving buyers more choices.
💰 Sellers are open to negotiation again...a welcome change.
📅 Days on market are stretching slightly, which means less competition.
And here’s why that matters to you:
For Buyers:
- You’ll have more options and a better chance at getting the home you really want.
- You can explore rate buydowns or seller concessions without the chaos of multiple offers.
- Getting in before the expected spring surge means more control and less stress.
For Investors:
- Off-season months often bring motivated sellers and attractive pricing.
- Rental demand continues strong in Myrtle Beach, especially for 2025 bookings.
- Buying now positions you to capture equity when the spring market heats up.
In short, the fall market gives you something we haven’t seen in a while - balance.
🍂 Prices are steady.
🍂 Inventory is healthy.
🍂 The frenzy has calmed (for now).
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take that next step, consider this it. Let’s sit down and map out your options — whether that’s your dream home, a downsizing plan, or an investment that sets you up beautifully for the year ahead.
Wishing you a cozy week filled with good coffee, crunchy leaves, and maybe even a house hunt that turns into your next chapter.
Warmly,
