🏡 Longs Real Estate Market Snapshot
North Strand | Inland Grand Strand | May 2026
Prepared by Joe Foster, REALTOR®

Longs remains a strong value-focused inland Grand Strand market, especially for buyers who want newer construction, more space, and easier access toward North Myrtle Beach without paying full coastal pricing.

📍 Market Overview
Based on the May 2026 Grand Strand Market Analysis Report, Longs looks balanced to seller-leaning, but with more inventory than earlier in the year. The market is still moving, but buyers have more room to compare options.

The median sold price was $316,995, with homes selling at about 98.7% of list price. Months of inventory reached 4.74, which is up sharply from last month but still below the level from 12 months ago.

Home prices: Median sold price was $316,995.
Inventory: 4.74 months of supply, up 33.5% month over month.
Buyer behavior: Homes sold at about 98.7% of list price, so buyers are negotiating, but sellers are still holding close to asking price.

Active listings: There were 351 active listings at month-end.
New listings: 153 new listings came on the market in May.

In plain terms:
➡️ Buyers have more choices than earlier this spring
➡️ Sellers still have leverage when priced correctly
➡️ Good homes are still moving
➡️ Longs remains steady, but not frantic

💡 What This Means for You

Thinking of selling?
Longs can still support a strong sale, but pricing discipline matters. Buyers are comparing resale homes against new construction, builder incentives, monthly payment, HOA costs, and location. A home that feels overpriced can get passed over quickly.

Thinking of buying?
This is a useful “compare and negotiate” market. Buyers should look closely at builder quality, incentives, HOA rules, commute patterns, insurance, lot premiums, and total monthly cost. The lowest price is not always the best deal if the payment or long-term fit does not work.

Watching values?
The median estimated property value was $294,500, up slightly from last month and up 4.4% over 12 months. Sold pricing is a little softer month to month, but the broader value trend still looks stable.

🤝 Let’s Talk Strategy
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just tracking the market, context matters. Longs is not one single market. New construction, resale homes, manufactured homes, larger-lot properties, and corridor-specific locations can all behave differently.
