Georgetown County, SC

---

Lowcountry Coast + Inland | Grand Strand Region
Prepared by Joe Foster, REALTOR®

Georgetown County covers several very different submarkets, which is part of what makes it useful — and tricky — for out-of-area buyers. You have coastal communities like Pawleys Island and Litchfield, the historic Georgetown area, and inland communities like Andrews, all inside the same county. That means pricing, pace, insurance considerations, and buyer expectations can vary quite a bit depending on where you’re looking.

Based on the most recent February 2026 RPR market analysis, Georgetown County looks like a balanced market with buyer-friendly negotiation room. Months of inventory are 5.09, active listings are 519, the median sold price is about $545,000, the sold-to-list ratio is about 96.54%, and median days in RPR for sold listings are 63. The median estimated property value is about $495,440.

That points to a market where homes are still moving, but buyers generally are not being forced to pay full asking price across the board. Inventory is healthy enough to create comparison shopping, and the county overall reads more strategic than rushed.

Single-Family + Condo/Townhome combined

• Median Sold Price: about $545,000
• Median Estimated Value: about $495,440
• Median New List Price: about $542,400
• Active Listings: about 519
• Months of Inventory: about 5.09 months
• Sold-to-List Ratio: about 96.54%
• Median Days on Market (Sold): about 63 days
• New Pending Listings: 107 in February, which shows buyers are still active

In plain terms:
➡️ Buyers generally have options
➡️ Sellers need pricing discipline
➡️ Negotiation is common
➡️ Property type and location matter a lot in this county

The charts suggest a market that is stable, but selective. Inventory has been running in a fairly healthy range, with listings recently moving from 505 in January to 519 in February, while sales were 77 in February.

Sold-to-list ratios remain below 100%, which reinforces that many homes are still selling with room for negotiation. At the same time, pending activity is solid enough to show that buyers are still participating — they’re just more deliberate.

The county-wide pricing picture also needs context: Georgetown County includes premium coastal inventory and inland value-oriented areas in the same report, so broad averages can look higher than what a buyer may experience in a specific submarket. That is one of the biggest reasons neighborhood-level interpretation matters here. This is an inference based on the county’s mixed market makeup and the existing local guidance page.

Coastal Communities
Buyers looking near Pawleys Island, Litchfield, and other coastal pockets often focus on lifestyle, water access, and long-term holding value. Flood zones, wind coverage, roof age, and elevation-related issues matter early.

Historic / In-Town Areas
Around Georgetown and other established areas, buyers often value character and location, but condition, drainage, deferred maintenance, and moisture issues can matter just as much as curb appeal.

Inland / Acreage / Modular-Friendly Areas
In inland parts of the county, buyers may prioritize land, price point, or flexibility. Septic, well, access, easements, surveys, and title details become part of the real buying decision, not just side notes.

Condos and Townhomes
These can appeal to lower-maintenance buyers, but HOA reserves, insurance structure, and rental restrictions often shape the decision as much as price.

Thinking of Selling?
Georgetown County can support well-positioned listings, but buyers are comparing carefully. Strong presentation, realistic pricing, and clean documentation matter more in a mixed county market like this.

Thinking of Buying?
You likely have more room to negotiate than in a tight seller-dominated market, but due diligence matters a lot because county-wide averages can hide very different local conditions. Insurance, HOA rules, moisture issues, flood exposure, and land-related questions should be addressed early.

Watching Values?
The median estimated value changed only modestly over 12 months, at +0.6%, which supports the idea of a steadier market rather than a runaway one.

Georgetown County is less of a one-market story and more of a collection of submarkets under one county name. That makes local interpretation especially important.
