 🏡 Loris Real Estate Market Snapshot
North Horry | Inland Grand Strand | May 2026

Prepared by Joe Foster, REALTOR®

Loris remains a practical, value-driven inland market for buyers who want more space, quieter surroundings, and a lower price point than many beach-adjacent Grand Strand areas. It still offers fairly direct access toward the coast through Highway 9 and 701, without feeling like a full coastal resort market.

📍 Market Overview
Based on the May 2026 Grand Strand Market Analysis Report, Loris looks balanced to slightly seller-leaning, but not overheated. Inventory is still moderate at 4.44 months of supply, while homes sold at about 98.4% of list price. That means buyers are still active, but they are not blindly chasing every listing.

The median sold price was $267,482, down from last month but still within the range of a steady, price-sensitive market. The median estimated property value was $275,330, up slightly month over month but down slightly year over year.

📊 Key Takeaways — At a Glance

Home prices: Median sold price was $267,482.
Inventory: 4.44 months of supply, up from last month but down from 12 months ago.
Buyer behavior: Homes sold at about 98.4% of list price, so buyers are negotiating, but sellers are still holding fairly close to asking price.
Market pace: Sold homes had a median of 66 days in RPR. Active listings showed a median of 73 days in RPR.
Active listings: There were 142 active listings at month-end.
New listings: 62 new listings came on the market in May.

In plain terms:
➡️ Buyers have choices
➡️ Sellers still have leverage when priced right
➡️ Overpricing can sit
➡️ Loris is steady, but price-sensitive

💡 What This Means for You

Thinking of selling?
Loris can still support a solid sale, but this is not a market for guessing high and hoping. Buyers have alternatives. Homes that are clean, well-presented, correctly priced, and easy to finance are in the strongest position.

Thinking of buying?
Loris may offer better value than many coastal submarkets, but buyers still need to do the homework. Financing fit, property condition, land status, zoning, insurance, utilities, and total monthly cost matter a lot here, especially for manufactured, modular, rural, or larger-lot properties.

Watching values?
The value signal is mixed. Estimated values were up slightly from last month, but down slightly from a year ago. Median sold price was also lower than last month and lower than a year ago. That does not mean the market is weak, but it does mean neighborhood-level and property-type context matters more than broad averages.

🤝 Let’s Talk Strategy
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just tracking the market, context matters. Loris is not one single market. Single-family homes, new construction, manufactured homes, larger-lot properties, and rural-adjacent homes can all behave differently.
