Surfside Beach Real Estate Market Report, June 2022

Learn about real estate trends in the Surfside Beach Real Estate Market Report, June 2022 created by Kathy Rukat Smith, REALTORⓇ, with Palmetto Coastal Homes.

Even with the increase in interest rates, Surfside Beach, like the rest of the Grand Strand, continues to be in a sellers’ market. The average price of single family homes, condos and townhouses has risen. I believe we will continue to see this trend through 2022.

The graphs and information below show single-family home and condo/townhouse information for the month of June 2022 for Surfside Beach, and numbers are compared to June 2021. Information is provided by the Coastal Carolinas Association of REALTORSⓇ.

The Surfside Beach Real Estate Market Report covers single family homes and condo/townhouses in the Surfside Beach – both those inside the city limits and outside the city limits. The Report does not include manufactured homes, multi-family properties, land or commercial properties.

Two numbers I like to keep an eye on to gauge the market are the percentage of sales price to listing price and the months supply of properties for sale. Generally, the higher the sale price to list price and a small months supply indicates a sellers’ market.

Single Family Home Showings to Pending

Another interesting number to point out is the number of showings before the listing goes pending. The fewer showings typically mean the house goes pending quicker.

Below the graph shows that for June 2022, sellers of single family homes in Surfside Beach had 11.1 showings before their home was under contract. This number is down 3.5% from June 2021.

In June, Surfside Beach had a 1.3 month supply of condos and townhouses. Properties are also selling at 101.7% of the listing price.

What Do These Numbers Mean for Buyers and Sellers?

As a buyer in this market, you need to come prepared when you start looking at properties. Before you start looking for homes, have your pre-approval letter ready to go. If you are looking at ocean front or ocean view condos in Surfside Beach, you may need to choose a lender that specializes in condotel financing. I will let you know if the properties you are looking for would need special financing and give you some lenders to call.

Sellers also need to be ready to move when the home is listed for sale. Because the sale could be very quick, you may need to consider moving into a short-term rental to have some extra time to find your next home or purchasing you new home prior to selling your current home.
