Conway, SC

Historic River Town | Horry County
Prepared by Joe Foster, REALTOR®

Conway offers a different feel from the beach-centered parts of the Grand Strand. With its historic downtown, riverfront setting, access to Coastal Carolina University, and connection to major corridors like Highway 501 and 544, Conway tends to appeal to buyers who want more day-to-day practicality, more housing variety, and easier access to the coast without living in the middle of tourist traffic.

Based on the most recent market analysis, Conway appears to be in a balanced market, with enough inventory to give buyers options, while still supporting well-positioned listings.

Homes are still selling at a healthy pace, but buyers are comparing more carefully than they did during the faster-moving years. Sellers can still succeed, but pricing, condition, and presentation matter more than simply putting a property on the market.

Single-Family + Condo/Townhome combined

• Median Sold Price: about $308,279
• Median Estimated Value: about $301,680
• Median New List Price: about $335,000
• Months of Inventory: about 3.8 months
• Sold-to-List Ratio: about 97.4%
• Median Days on Market (Sold): about 61 days
• Closed Sales in Month: 161
• Active Listings: about 780

In plain terms:
➡️ Conway is active, but not overheated
➡️ Buyers usually have room to negotiate
➡️ Sellers still benefit from strong presentation and realistic pricing
➡️ Inventory levels give buyers time to compare options

The charts point to a market that looks steady rather than dramatic.

Pricing has generally held up over the longer view, even though month-to-month activity can move around. Homes are commonly selling a bit below asking price, which suggests buyers still have leverage in many situations. Marketing time is longer than in the peak frenzy years, which usually means strategy matters more than speed.

Inventory remains healthy enough to create choice, but not so high that the market looks distressed. Pending activity also suggests buyers are still engaged — just more selective.

Established In-Town Neighborhoods
Buyers often like Conway for character, mature trees, and access to downtown. Older homes can be appealing, but condition and updates vary widely.

Newer Subdivisions and Growth Areas
These properties tend to attract relocation buyers looking for predictable layouts, newer systems, and easier upkeep.

Townhomes and Condos
For lower-maintenance living, these can be appealing, but HOA fees, insurance structure, and use restrictions often matter just as much as price.

Semi-Rural, Manufactured, or Modular Options
Because Conway covers a broader footprint than many coastal submarkets, buyers may also consider homes with more land or alternative property types. Financing and property details can be especially important here.

Thinking of Selling?
Conway can support a sale, but buyers are comparison shopping. Homes that are priced correctly and show well tend to be in the strongest position.

Thinking of Buying?
You may have more negotiating room here than in tighter coastal submarkets. Due diligence still matters, especially when comparing different neighborhoods, flood considerations, lot types, and property styles.

Watching Values?
Broad market numbers are helpful, but Conway is the kind of market where neighborhood, property condition, age, and location can create meaningful differences from one home to the next.
