Aynor, SC

---

Aynor is a small-town, inland community in western Horry County, anchored by U.S. 501 and positioned as a practical “commuter-friendly” option to Myrtle Beach, Conway, and the broader Grand Strand. It tends to attract buyers who want more space, a quieter pace, and newer homes at more approachable price points than the immediate coastal corridor—while still being within reach of beaches, major employers, and shopping. Housing is primarily single-family, with manufactured/modular inventory also playing a meaningful role in the local mix; condo/townhome activity can be limited enough that month-to-month stats may not always populate in reporting.

Recent market signals point to a more balanced, negotiation-aware environment rather than a frenzy. Inventory has been present and buyers have shown they’ll take time to compare options—so homes that are well-prepped, correctly positioned for condition and location, and marketed with strong photos and clear disclosures tend to do best. At the same time, buyers are still paying close to asking price on the right listings, which suggests demand remains healthy for homes that feel like a good value.

What this means in practice (Aynor guidance)

• For sellers: Expect fewer “automatic” offers. Pricing to the neighborhood—not to the highest nearby outlier—matters more now. A clean, move-in-ready presentation (repairs, paint, servicing major systems, tidy landscaping) often reduces days on market and helps protect net proceeds. Be prepared for concession requests tied to inspections, financing terms, and closing costs.
• For buyers: This is a market where preparation pays off—shop broadly, watch for price improvements, and use inspection findings strategically. The best values are often homes that are solid but need cosmetic updates, or listings that were initially aspirational and later realign to current demand.
• For manufactured/modular buyers and sellers: Quality and permanence drive outcomes—foundation type, tie-downs/retrofits, age, title status, and whether the home is on owned land vs. leased land can materially affect financing options and resale interest. Plan for a bit more due diligence and documentation.
• New construction and newer resales: Builders and newer neighborhoods can be a strong draw in Aynor. Compare incentives, warranties, and upgrade costs carefully, and consider commuting patterns, school assignments, and future road/area growth when evaluating “value.”
• Lifestyle and land considerations: With more rural parcels, confirm utilities (water/sewer vs. septic), flood/soil considerations, access/driveway easements, and any restrictions affecting animals, outbuildings, RV/boat parking, and home-based businesses.

Important note for compliance and clarity: This is general, area-level guidance based on an automated market report and other sources that may be incomplete; information is not guaranteed and is not an appraisal or a substitute for a formal valuation. Buyers and sellers should verify all property facts (including zoning, permits, flood risk, and HOA/POA rules) independently. Equal Housing Opportunity.
