 🏡 City of Georgetown Real Estate Market Snapshot
Georgetown County | Lowcountry Grand Strand | May 2026
Prepared by Joe Foster, REALTOR®

Georgetown remains one of the Grand Strand’s most distinctive Lowcountry markets, with historic homes, in-town neighborhoods, waterfront and river-influenced areas, edge-of-town subdivisions, and a smaller condo, townhome, and manufactured/modular segment.

📍 Market Overview
Based on the May 2026 Grand Strand Market Analysis Report, the City of Georgetown looks buyer-leaning overall, mostly because inventory has moved higher and buyers have more room to compare options.

The median sold price was $383,500, while homes sold at about 97.5% of list price. Months of inventory reached 8.09, up 27.8% month over month and 50.4% over 12 months, which points to a more selective market.

📊 Key Takeaways — At a Glance

Home prices: Median sold price was $383,500.
Inventory: 8.09 months of supply, up sharply from last month and last year.
Buyer behavior: Homes sold at about 97.5% of list price, so negotiation is still normal.
Market pace: Sold homes had a median of 43 days in RPR. Active listings showed a median of 76 days in RPR.
Active listings: There were 186 active listings at month-end.
New listings: 53 new listings came on the market in May.
Closed sales: 30 properties sold in May.

In plain terms:
➡️ Buyers have meaningful choices
➡️ Sellers need pricing discipline
➡️ Good homes can still move
➡️ Historic, waterfront, flood-sensitive, and higher-end properties need careful property-level review

💡 What This Means for You

Thinking of selling?
Georgetown can still support a solid sale, but sellers cannot rely on charm alone. Buyers are comparing condition, location, flood exposure, insurance, needed repairs, and total monthly cost. Pricing too high can create a long wait and weaker leverage.

Thinking of buying?
This is a market where buyers can compare and negotiate, especially when a property has been sitting or needs work. Still, Georgetown is not one simple market. Historic homes, newer homes, river-area properties, and manufactured or modular homes all need different due diligence.

Watching values?
The median estimated property value was $338,920, up 2.2% from last month but down 0.5% over 12 months. Median sold price, however, was up 4.7% over 12 months. That mixed signal is exactly why Georgetown needs neighborhood-level and property-type analysis, not just one headline number.

🤝 Let’s Talk Strategy
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just tracking the market, context matters. Georgetown is not one single market. Historic district homes, in-town neighborhoods, waterfront-adjacent properties, newer subdivisions, condos, townhomes, and manufactured homes can all behave differently.
