🏡 Loris, SC Real Estate Market Snapshot
North Horry | Inland Grand Strand
Prepared by Joe Foster, REALTOR®

Loris sits inland in northern Horry County and leans hard into small-town, rural charm—while still giving buyers a straight shot to the beach via Highway 9 and 701. It attracts people who want more space, quieter streets, and a lower cost of entry without fully disconnecting from Grand Strand amenities.

📍 Market Overview

Based on the most recent RPR Market Analysis (January 2026 data), Loris is in a balanced, negotiation-friendly market.

Inventory is present (not excessive), days on market have stretched versus the peak years, and buyers are commonly negotiating below list price—meaning pricing discipline and presentation matter more than “speed”.

📊 Key Takeaways (At a Glance)
(Single-Family + Condo/Townhome combined data)

• Median Sold Price: ~$265,600
• Median Estimated Value: ~$272,900
• Months of Inventory: ~3.7 months
• Sold-to-List Ratio: ~96.7% (most sales close below ask)
• Median Days on Market (Sold): ~51 days
• Active Listings: ~162 at month end

In plain terms:

➡️ Buyers have time and choices
➡️ Negotiation is normal
➡️ Overpricing tends to sit
➡️ Value-aligned homes get traction

🏠 What Buyers Gravitate Toward

Single-Family Homes
Condition and layout matter. Move-in-ready or sensibly updated homes lead activity .

New Construction
Incentives can make new builds competitive. Buyers should watch timelines, upgrades, and total monthly cost (insurance + utilities + HOA if applicable) .

Manufactured / Modular
Strong value segment in Loris. Land ownership, zoning, and financing terms are a big deal—this is where good documentation and up-front due diligence saves time later .

💡 What This Means for You

Thinking of Selling?
You can still sell well in Loris—but it’s a market that rewards realism. With sales closing around ~96.7% of list price , buyers expect some give. Homes that are clean, well-presented, and priced to current comps are the ones that move first.

Thinking of Buying?
You’ve got leverage and breathing room. Longer marketing times (around ~51 days median for sold homes ) typically means you can compare options and negotiate—especially on dated homes or properties priced above the “lane.”

Watching Values?
Model-based estimated values show some year-over-year softening while short-term movement is mixed . Translation: normalization. The best indicator is still neighborhood-level comps and condition.
