North Myrtle Beach, SC
Local Guidance
North Myrtle Beach is a vibrant coastal city at the northern end of the Grand Strand, blending classic beach-town charm with year-round resort living. Made up of distinct beach sections—Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach, and Windy Hill—it offers everything from high-rise oceanfront towers and channel homes to Intracoastal Waterway communities like Barefoot Resort and quieter residential pockets inland. Known for its oceanfront condos, waterway and golf-course communities, and established single-family neighborhoods, it attracts full-time residents, second-home owners, and vacation-rental investors. Recent market data shows a stabilizing but more selective pace of sales: median listing prices hover around the $400,000 range with modest year-over-year increases, while average days on market have stretched into the 100+ day range as buyers take more time to compare options and negotiate.
- Expect strong interest in oceanfront, channel, and Intracoastal Waterway properties—especially in areas like Cherry Grove, Windy Hill, and Barefoot Resort—from second-home buyers and investors focused on rental income and lifestyle amenities.
- Condo inventory is higher and days on market are longer than a few years ago—local market updates show double-digit percentage increases in time-to-sell for condos in both Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach. Buyers now have more choices and greater leverage, but standout buildings with strong amenities, views, and well-managed HOAs still draw steady activity.
- HOA/POA and resort rules (especially for short-term rentals, pets, parking, and use of amenities) vary widely by building and community—from oceanfront towers and golf-course resorts to smaller low-rise complexes and single-family POA neighborhoods—so it’s important to review covenants, fees, and rental policies early in the process.
Well-priced homes and condos in desirable locations—particularly updated, turnkey units with strong rental potential or primary-residence appeal—still move, even in a slower, more negotiation-heavy environment. Properties that are dated, over-priced, or in less desirable locations are more likely to sit, see price reductions, or require incentives to attract today’s value-conscious buyers.
