Greetings from Myrtle Beach,

 

First of all, we've had some unusually severe winter weather here lately but it's nothing compared to what a number of my clients throughout the country have faced. Please be safe and let's hope spring gets here soon!

We're gearing up for a huge weekend on the Grand Strand. This is always one of the busiest "offseason" times of the year. Lots of people visit for Valentine's Day. This is also a holiday weekend (Presidents' Day on Monday). On top of that, the Myrtle Beach Marathon is Saturday morning!

 

I include a number of local real estate market reports in this newsletter each month. These reports are useful for spotting general market trends but I've always wanted to separate out the oceanfront condos to see if their market stats were different from the rest of the market. Well, I did just that for the last 3 years and yes, they are very different. For the surprising results, check out "Condo Sales Stats- Oceanfront vs. Off-Beach".

 

Next month, I will provide a detailed analysis of the 2013 sales year - by price range, development, number of bedrooms, you name it! Don't miss it.

 

We just updated our Closed Sales List with all the 2013 sales. This has been a very popular service. Visit www.myrtlebeachclosedsaleslist.com   to view spreadsheets of all the closed sales from 2009 through 2013 in over 60 resorts. Click here to view a sample. If you are an owner, you might be surprised at recent prices. Again, please contact me if you are interested in selling or purchasing.

Come see me at the beach!  

Condo Sale Stats-
Oceanfront vs. Off-Beach

Lots of reports are published each year quoting all sorts of statistics for real estate along the Grand Strand.  Every report I've seen lumps oceanfront properties in with all the rest even though it has been my experience that oceanfront properties don't necessarily behave in the same way as properties off the beach.

December Reports
