Retirees Are Moving To Myrtle Beach

 Ninety-nine percent of the buyers I help are retired or retiring within the next few years.  Some have never visited the area before but have read that Myrtle Beach is one of the top ten places to retire.  If you are trying to decide where to live after retirement think of this area as The Grand Strand.  The Grand Strand is a sixty mile coastal area with the actual city of Myrtle Beach as the center. 

The city of Myrtle Beach along the ocean is primarily condos and hotels for the tourists and probably not desirable for a full time resident.  The outlying areas of Myrtle Beach and the surroundings cities within The Grand Strand offer great neighborhoods and lower taxes. 



Myrtle Beach Retirement and Real Estate

Buying A Home Now For Retirement In The Future

Spring Mill Plantation home purchased

Prince Creek home purchased

Emmens Preserve home purchased

During the past six months three couples that plan retirement within the next two years made contact to simply explore the area around Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  They sent a must have and wish list of amenities for the neighborhood and perfect home where they wanted to live when they finally retired.  Listings of homes available and neighborhood information was sent to each couple and within weeks of receiving their listings they decided to take a look in person.  All were very honest about the fact that they were just beginning to look for real estate and were not ready to buy.  After reassuring them that was normal they felt comfortable as we toured various communities throughout The Grand Strand.  I was the one surprised when each of these couples, who did not know each other, decided that one of the homes that I had set up for them to preview was the perfect home.  Trying to make sure that a purchase was not an impulse they would regret was not easy but they all agreed to "sleep on it".  Expecting them to have changed their minds when we met the next day lessened with the third couple but the look on my face made them laugh.
