Loris, SC
Local Guidance
Loris is a small-town, inland community in northern Horry County, positioned for people who want more space and a quieter pace while still being within an easy drive of North Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand. The housing mix tends to be broad—established neighborhoods near town, newer subdivisions and “country” settings on the outskirts, and a meaningful share of manufactured/modular options—so buyers can often choose between affordability, land, and newer construction depending on priorities.
Recent market signals point to a more balanced, choice-driven environment than the peak frenzy years: inventory is available and selection has improved, while closed sales suggest most homes still trade close to asking when they’re priced realistically and presented well. At the same time, time-on-market has been uneven—some listings move quickly, but others linger—so condition, pricing strategy, and seller concessions matter more than they did when demand was overwhelming.
What tends to draw the strongest interest in Loris
- Move-in-ready homes priced in line with nearby comps (especially newer builds or well-updated resales).
- Homes with functional land or flexible layouts (work-from-home space, storage, detached structures where permitted).
- Value-forward options (including manufactured/modular) when they’re clean, financeable, and transparent on age/permits/foundation and any tie-down requirements.
Practical guidance for buyers
- Expect a market where you usually have time to compare options, and you can often negotiate based on inspections, repair scope, and total monthly cost.
- Focus on comparable sales, not list prices, and weigh concessions (closing costs, rate buydowns, repairs) alongside headline price.
- If a property has an HOA/POA, review covenants, rental limits, pet rules, parking/storage rules, and any assessments early—those details can matter as much as the home itself.
Practical guidance for sellers
- The “wins” typically come from sharp initial pricing, strong presentation, and clean inspection posture (pre-inspection or upfront repairs where sensible).
- Homes that show dated, feel overpriced, or carry obvious deferred maintenance are more likely to require price adjustments or concessions before they attract serious offers.
Notes for compliance & clarity: This is general market commentary, not an appraisal or a guarantee of results. Fair Housing applies—housing is offered without regard to protected classes, and marketing should focus on property features and objective location facts. Always verify HOA rules, property condition, and any buyer-specific financing requirements with the appropriate professionals.

How that reads: 3.63 months of supply generally means buyers have choices, but well-priced homes can still move quickly.

- Median list price: $271,890 (p.9)
- Median $/SqFt: $187 (p.10)

💰 Sold Market Reality
(What buyers are actually paying)
🧾 Sold (November 2025)
- 34 closed sales (p.12)
- Median sold price: $259,000 (p.12)
- Avg list-to-sale ratio: 98.44% (p.13)
- Median $/SqFt: $157 (p.14)
That $157/sq ft sold vs $186/sq ft active highlights a common pattern: asking prices are higher than where the market is closing, so correct pricing (and condition) matters.
🔎 12-Month Value Context
- Median estimated property value (Dec 2025): $265,040
- ~+0.2% month-over-month
- ~-7.5% year-over-year (p.3, p.17)
This doesn’t mean every home is down—it’s a broad model-based estimate and varies widely by neighborhood, home type, condition, and upgrades.
⚠️ Distressed / Foreclosure-Related Activity
- Past 3 months show 2 distressed properties tracked in the report summary (p.18) — limited, but worth watching for select opportunities.
💡 Why This Matters to You
Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing in Loris:
- Sellers: Pricing strategically is key—buyers are closing just under list on average, and days-on-market for active listings is higher than days-to-sell for closings.
- Buyers: Inventory is present, and the closing data suggests negotiation leverage on certain listings—especially those sitting longer or priced above recent sold comps.
- Everyone: Market value trends are moving, so decisions are best made with hyper-local comps (same neighborhood + similar features), not just countywide averages.
