Real estate prices throughout the “Grand Strand” have traditionally been about the lowest for beach / coastal property Nationwide. During the 2004 - 2005 “boom” in real estate the prices began to rise just to reach levels near similar properties elsewhere, but then out-of-state groups and greed took over and things went crazy. Today there is a mix of those trying to sell a property they paid too much for and fantastic bargains. Anyone considering the purchase of real estate should have their own Realtor. The service of that Realtor should be free to the potential buyer even if a purchase is never made.
