About the Grand Strand Market

The Grand Strand

🏡 Grand Strand Real Estate Market Snapshot

Horry + Georgetown Counties | August 2026
Prepared by Joe Foster, REALTOR®

The Grand Strand market has pulled up a beach chair—and brought a calculator. Buyers have more choices, sellers face more competition, and negotiation is firmly back in the conversation.


📊 The Quick Scoop

  • Median sold price: $391,750 
  • Median homes for sale: 3,987 
  • Median housing supply: 7.67 months 
  • Median selling time: 50 days 
  • Median sold-to-list price: 96.9% 

These regional figures represent the midpoint of the reported Horry and Georgetown County medians. They are not a transaction-weighted calculation for every sale across the two counties.  

In plain terms:
➡️ Buyers have more breathing room
➡️ Sellers should expect negotiation
➡️ Correctly priced homes can still move
➡️ A condo near the beach and a home outside Conway are playing very different games  


🌡️ One Region, Many Markets

The counties did not move in perfect step during June. Horry County’s median sold price rose 2.8% from May, while Georgetown County’s fell 12.2%.

That does not necessarily mean one market suddenly became stronger or weaker. The mix of homes sold—condos, luxury properties, inland homes, land, and new construction—can quickly move a monthly median.

This is why one giant “Grand Strand average” can create more fog than clarity.


💡 What This Means for You

Selling? More listings mean more competition. Pricing, condition, photos, and presentation all matter. Hope is wonderful—but it is not a pricing strategy.

Buying? Buyers may have better opportunities to negotiate price, repairs, closing costs, or other terms, especially on homes that have been sitting.

Watching values? Regional reports provide the big picture. Neighborhood and property-type data provide the useful picture.
