Myrtle Beach Housing Market Update: Trends & Insights for 2026

The Myrtle Beach, SC, housing market continues to attract buyers and investors seeking a blend of coastal living, affordability, and strong growth potential. But what’s really happening in the local market right now?

Current Market Trends

• Steady Demand: Myrtle Beach remains a top destination for retirees, remote workers, and second-home buyers, keeping demand strong.
• Inventory Challenges: Like much of the nation, inventory remains lower than pre-pandemic levels, creating a competitive environment for buyers.
• Price Appreciation: Home prices have seen steady appreciation, with the median sale price rising year-over-year, according to regional MLS data.
• New Construction: Builders are responding to demand, but supply chain and labor constraints can impact timelines and pricing.

What Buyers and Sellers Should Know

Buyers should be prepared to act quickly and have financing in place. Sellers can benefit from strong demand, but realistic pricing is key as the market stabilizes from the rapid gains of recent years.
