10 Most Expensive Homes Sold in Myrtle Beach Area in 2019

That’s right!  It’s time for my annual Myrtle Beach luxury home wrap-up where I share with you the 10 most expensive homes to sell along the Grand Strand in this past year.  I’ve done this several times in the past few years, however last year I was a slacker and didn’t do this post.

To make up for it, this year I’m going to go above & beyond in sharing not only the 10 most expensive Luxury Homes in Myrtle Beach, but I’m also going to include a video near the end that will summarize how our luxury real estate market is doing here in the area.

So now that I’ve share the most expensive homes sold, what does this mean for the Myrtle Beach Luxury Homes market in 2020?

Market Crash Ahead?

In 2019, less luxury homes over 1 million sold in the area than in 2018. Some might start to panic and think we are heading towards a crash, but I wouldn’t start to panic yet. There were only 5 less homes to sell during the year from the banner year of 2018. In terms of total volume, it was only around $4.5 million less.

Days on the market also grew during 2019, but it was very minimal by increasing by only 5 days which is also a very minimal amount of days. These two items could mean either that there is a softening in the luxury home market, or it could simply just mean there is less inventory of properties available for consumers to purchase.

Breaking the Sales Down

When you break down the top 10 list for 2019, I found it interesting that more than half of the properties were purchased with cash. Even more interesting, the top 6 on the list were ALL purchased without financing.  That shows me people see the value in investing into our local real estate market. 

Also, all of the luxury homes sold this past year had some sort of water feature attached to the home.  Most had a view of the ocean, or marsh, and one even had the intracoastal waterway.  Once again proving that waterfront properties remain in high demand in our Grand Strand Market, especially when it comes to luxury home buyers.

When you break down the sections of the beach, more luxury homes were sold in Pawleys Island than any other section of the beach again this year. The 5 most expensive homes to sell this year were all int eh Pawleys Island/Georgetown area. Garden city had one property, two in North Myrtle Beach, and two were in Myrtle Beach.
