Greetings!

Greetings from Myrtle Beach,

 

The summer season has been great but it's winding down and that's OK because I'm ready for fall! If you haven't been here in the fall, you don't know what you're missing. The weather is the best of the year - comfortable temperatures, low humidity - just perfect. It's not as busy and crowded as the summer but there's still plenty of activity. Check out the article on fall happenings!

  

I've got a new report to share with you this month. It's a combined effort between a respected local research company and Coastal Carolina University. It's a total economic report on the area - not just real estate. I will share a few of my observations as well.

 

This month's newsletter will be absent two of my usual features - the Monthly Foreclosure Auction and the Upcoming Bank-Owned Listings. The final reports I have been receiving for the auction have been arriving so close to the actual auction dates (just a few days) that there has been no time for interested buyers to react. Also, the auctions have been featuring fewer and fewer properties of interest to my readers. As for the Upcoming Bank-Owned listings, many of the best deals at recent foreclosures auctions have been bought by local investors instead of banks and the ones that have been purchased by banks have often taken many months (over a year in some cases) to reach MLS. I will monitor these situations and decide if it is worthwhile to continue with these articles.   

 

My Best Buy picks this month include outstanding opportunities in Kingston Plantation, Caribbean Resort, Dunes Village, Avista, North Beach Towers, Breakers Resort, Sea Watch, Paradise Resort, Crescent Keyes, Camelot, Barefoot Resort and more.  

 

Come and see me at the beach. I'm really not kidding about the fall being the best time of the year! 

Grand Strand Economic Quarterly Report - Second Quarter 2012

 

This is the second issue of this report, a combined effort of SiteTech Systems and the Wall College of Business's Center for Economic and Community Development at Coastal Carolina University. This is an overview of the overall economic climate of the Grand Strand economy, specifically Horry and Georgetown Counties.

 

I won't go over the entire report since most of the stats are straightforward and there are summaries

Fall at the Beach    

 

It just doesn't get any better than the Grand Strand in the fall. Warm days, cool nights, plenty of sunshine with low humidity. During the day, you can chill out on the beach, play golf or attend one of the dozens of festivals and events. Then, in the evening, enjoy your favorite restaurant without even waiting in line (well-most nights anyway).

The list below represents just a small sampling of the local happenings along the Grand Strand this fall.
