Grand Strand Market Report: April 2026

I know market numbers can feel a little overwhelming at first, but they really do tell a helpful story when we slow down and look at what they mean.

For April, prices are still holding strong, inventory is up, and the pace looks a little different depending on where you are along the Grand Strand.

For buyers, that may mean a few more choices and a little more room to breathe. For sellers, it means having the right strategy still matters so much — from pricing to presentation to understanding what’s happening in your own neighborhood.

Horry County
Through April 30
• Avg. Sales Price: $658K
• Home Inventory: 658 (+11.9%)
• Avg. Days on Market: 107 (-17.1%)

Georgetown County
Through April 30
• Avg. Sales Price: $370K
• Home Inventory: 6,853 (+1.7%)
• Avg. Days on Market: 128 (+2.4%)

And truly, every area has its own story — Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Conway, Carolina Forest, Surfside, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, and all the little pockets in between.

If you’re wondering what these numbers mean for your home, your plans, or even just an area you’ve had your eye on, I’d be happy to walk through it with you. Sometimes just having someone explain it in a simple, honest way makes all the difference.

❤️ Today, we remember. 💙

I don’t know if this sounds a little emotional, but Memorial Day has always felt like a gentle pause to me… a moment to reflect on the courage, the sacrifice, and the lives given so we can live ours freely.

It’s easy to get caught up in the long weekend, but at the heart of this day is something so much deeper — honoring those who gave everything for all of us.

With a grateful heart, I’m holding space today for remembrance, respect, and quiet appreciation.

Never forgotten. ❤️

🏡 Nobody in the world sells more real estate than REMAX.

And I’ll be honest with you… that didn’t happen by accident.

It comes from years of experience, relationships built on trust, and people who truly care about the families they’re helping every day.

That’s one of the reasons I feel so grateful to be part of REMAX Southern Shores. Being surrounded by professionals who believe in doing the right thing, going the extra mile, and putting people first means so much to me.

Because at the end of the day, buying or selling a home isn’t just about real estate.
It’s about life changes… fresh starts… and the people you trust to walk through that process with you.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or even just have a question, honey, I’d truly love to talk with you. No pressure at all — just a friendly conversation to help you take that next step when the time feels right. 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

Today feels like a good day to slow down and just say thank you — for the love, the guidance, the patience, and all the little things that often go unseen but mean everything.

Being a mom is one of the greatest blessings in my life, and I’m so grateful for the example my own mom set for me. So much of who I am — both in life and in the way I care for others — comes from her.

To all the moms, grandmothers, and mother figures… thank you for the love you give so freely every single day.

I hope today brings you a little extra appreciation, a lot of love, and maybe even a quiet moment to yourself. 💐🤍

Hurricane season is right around the corner… and May is such a good time to get a few things in place, especially here along the coast. 🌀🏡

It doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Just a few thoughtful steps can really make a difference:

• take a moment to review your insurance coverage
• check and restock your storm supplies
• document your belongings (even quick photos help)
• trim back trees and secure anything outdoors
• have a simple plan in place for your family

I always feel like when you prepare ahead of time, it brings a little peace of mind… and that’s such a good feeling going into the season.

If you have questions about your home, insurance considerations here on the coast, or you’re thinking about buying or selling, I’m always here to help talk things through with you. 🤍

Market headlines can feel a little overwhelming sometimes… and I understand why. But real estate has always been personal — and it’s always local.

What’s happening nationally doesn’t always reflect what’s going on right in your neighborhood… and that’s the part that really matters when you’re making a decision for your family.

I’ve pulled together a look at the March market here along the Grand Strand and down into the Lowcountry — just to give you a clearer, more grounded picture of what’s actually happening close to home.

You’ll see a breakdown by county as you swipe through:
🔹 Horry
🔹 Georgetown

Things like inventory, pricing, and time on market can shift from one area to the next… and even street to street sometimes. That’s why I always feel it’s so important to look a little deeper than the headlines.

If you’re curious about your specific neighborhood — or even just starting to think about what a move might look like — I’m always here to talk it through with you. No pressure… just honest information so you can make the best decision for yourself. 🤍
