Myrtle Beach is Hanging in There...

By
Real Estate Agent with Dock Street Realty

It is hard to believe that we are in the middle of our prime selling season in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  Every day, I expect activity to pick up and become the frantic selling pace of 2005.  Even though it hasn't happened yet, I remain optimistic.

Two major attractions opened here in April this year, helping to stimulate this economy and bringing thousands of additional tourists to our area.  The $400 million dollar investment in the Hard Rock Theme Park and Market Common (an urban retail/living pedestrian village) is having a positive impact on the local economy.  Fortunately, some of this is spilling over to sales of investment and second home property.

The real estate industry expects to have a full recovery by late fall and early spring of 2009.  Many analysts have indicated the baby boomers want to move near a body of water with warm temperatures most of the year.  Myrtle Beach is their location.

The Grand Strand has 60 miles of ocean front, an average of 260 sunny days, and an abundant number of golf courses, restaurants and entertainment venues.  It is not surprising to me that this area is among the top relocation areas in the country.
