I bought a vacation/retirement home in North Myrtle Beach in 2010 when the housing market crashed. I’m about to retire next April. It’s now worth 3X what I paid for it. Great people, restaurants, beach and climate. Can’t wait.

If you are considering the myrtle beach area I would say definitely check the fema and horry county flood maps on their websites. They are very accurate and with all the growth here floods are very real. Especially the Conway and Carolina forest are a must must look into! Btw, we love it here.

My wife and I built our retirement home in Horry County, just as Covid was starting! 4bd/2ba on a 1/2 acre! Cost was just over $200k and at that time mortgage rates were 3%! The model that we chose is now over $300k and mortgage rates are about 8%. We still have 2-3 years before we leave NJ but we are thrilled with our decision! We go down as much as possible, right now, that’s about every 3 months! We have a fantastic neighbor who keeps up the outside when we are not there,even takes in packages if we have something delivered. I forgot to mention that our property taxes will be about $1000 yearly as opposed to $9500,what we are paying now! We can not wait!!😎

Make sure you transfer your license asap so that you can get your resident property tax credit. Also there was a pretty significant property tax increase last year but if you’re coming from New Jersey trust me it is nothing to worry about.

Horry county is being inundated with transplants. Can’t open your eyes without seeing giant new subdivisions everywhere. The bad part is we don’t have the infrastructure to handle it. Not enough hospitals, fire/ems/police and the roads are beyond crowded. 501 is a parking lot 12 hours a day.

The Mid-South states have many desirable attributes and diverse living conditions. South Carolina has been successful in attracting businesses offering employment. But the prevailing anti-government, anti-regulation culture in this region means that key infrastructure lags what's needed. Zoning and general planning are constrained so problems like highway congestion, school expansion, water and sewer service, and jumbled commercial development detract increasingly from quality of life and are likely to worsen with rapid growth. This region still looks like a bargain by comparison to areas from which people are fleeing but don't think that rapid growth won't bring problems.

I’ve owned a place down there since 2010 and have watched prices almost triple in the last 4 years. I’d like to think you’re correct but all the new subdivisions are sold out before they’re finished. There might be a correction but no where near what prices were in 2019. I’m thinking 10%…max.

Am I missing something? I am from the Chicago area and I am starting my search now as I am 2-3 years from retirement. I am looking to wake-up and see the beach/ocean out my window and go for a walk along the beach each morning.

Before moving to SC 8 years ago, I researched the elevation of where I wanted to buy. I found an area which is on a plateau (33 feet above sea level) and have not had any problems with flooding. On this plateau is a hospital, grocery store, fire department, several gas stations, and a home improvement store. And it's only a 20-minute drive to the beach.

Move to the Upstate. It’s the best area to live in SC. We are less then 4 hours away to many major cities. You can get to Tennessee rather quickly as well as Asheville, Charlotte, Atlanta, and all of the other cities in South Carolina are less than 5 hours away. The coast is far away from everything.

@@albuquerqueturkey1567 Greenville or Spartanburg depending on which you prefer. Greenville is the hub of the upstate so the real estate is higher there but the surrounding suburbs and counties have some nice spots too you just have to get with a realtor and do some research. I’m born and raised in Spartanburg County. I’ve been all over and I truly believe this is the best spot in SC because of the location it sits in and how close you are to neighboring cities.
