Definitely appreciate the info looking forward to more
Great video man laying facts being genuine no filler not too long not too short of a video
I’m am paying less than half per year than I was paying for a quarter in Massachusetts in property taxes and my home is newer and almost twice the square footage.
How do you like it there so far? Anything you wish you knew before you made the move from up north?
I love it no desire to go back. I wish I knew about the grocery stores here the selection is not as good as in northeast Massachusetts and the prices are a lot higher. I will say though we had “Market Basket” a regional chain known for large selection quality and lower prices. I also wish I knew about the surprise $600.00 per car relocation fee. But we simply love it here, the roads are well maintained the schools are very good (St. James district) and well kept beaches with loads of FREE parking.
Go Jeremy! You’re the man !!
I'm looking at moving in the next five years and Myrtle Beach is on the list. This info is really helpful for comparison and planning. Thank you!
If you're working don't do it! Find a larger community with more to offer. I'm warning you wage is low hours are variable. The cost of living is about the same here is anywhere else. Your low wage will not make the difference in 30 cents a gallon.
Jeremy....really enjoyed the drive/chat! Just wonder, if you do another one similar to this can you do a walk thru of one of your homes for sale?
This next week I might take you inside a million dollar listing here in Myrtle Beach!
Thanks for the information❤

I was just there last week and Diesel fuel was over five dollars a gallon. However it’s over six dollars a gallon at home. Thank you for the videos. My family is highly considering moving to Myrtle Beach. Last week was our first time ever visiting and we absolutely fell in love with the area.
Awesome! Let me know if I can help!
Don't do it! There's better.
Gracias!
We're having a house built in Conway right now. Will be moving down about June, 22! One more PA winter.
J B good job can you tell us why some developments do not have sidewalks? I have an idea why , but if you know can you tell us. Thanks and have a Happy Father’s Day. 👨 🏡
I worked at handleys about 18 years ago when they first opened. Crazy
Your right Jeremy. I have a cute little 2 bed ,2 bath here at the Landing, Plantation Point no HOA, a mile to the ocean just over 17 bypass in Horry county. Iam a homesteader as well. My only complaint is with Waste management $169-$197 for two months of trash pickup. Have to find another way. Great video thank you. I moved 5 years ago from Fairfax county Va. Night and day🤣 God bless.
Lookin to retire down in SC. Conway was one of the places we will be lookin at when we go to Myrtle Beach next year.
Let me know how I can help make the transition easier! Would love to work with you on making the move to the area!
@@jeremyblanton Will pay you a visit when we come down next year.
Hey Jeremy! Can you do a video on apartment living in Myrtle beach?
or just rental living.
Nice video. That's my neighborhood. Dragon Pan Chinese Food is the GOAT.
We've visited a lot, I still kick around moving there, it's just a little tough not for me/wife/kiddo, but my mother would need a little talking. I can't just leave her alone, but anyways. We'd be moving from PA, where you were from as well I think. I'm over NEPA winters, over them. Business Management/Sales/HR and Physical Therapy are our careers, are there opportunities for Physical Therapy since I know the first is probably there? Schools elementary through HS good?
You are the best
Have you ever covered homeowners insurance in any of your videos? We're interested in finding out about that. I'm sure the closer you get to the ocean the higher the cost, but how about more inland areas like Socastee or Conway?
Actually I’m going to see if I can get an insurance agent to join me for live very soon!!
@@NOBODY-zf5nt what area do you live in, if you don't mind me asking?
I think you need to update this video lol. Cause right now gas is over 4 bucks a gallon here in Myrtle Beach.
We closed on our condo in late 2019, 2 BR 2 bath, FURNISHED for about $84K. Similar properties in the same are are now $110-140K. What a jump!
And the thing is that we could probably sell your condo in less than a week for that price!
I'm obsessed with the Myrtle Beach area its just incredible. interested in purchasing my second home there at some point in the future..(from Toronto)
Let me know how I can help make it a reality!
@@jeremyblanton thank you!!
Same here. Obsessed with the area.
@@America1st69 we want to relocate there to make it even MORE RED and add more fire power 😉
I have owned investment condos in several states. MB can be fun but take a close look at all of the taxes that you will encounter. Close to shore the HOAs are naturally high per the threat of hurricanes. You will want to stay far away during the motorcycle weeks. Keep in mind that crime is now a serious concern in MB.
I'm trying to find a nice vacation rental in the area for labor day weekend, for my granddaughter first trip there! I need to be able to fish also! Any recommendations???
Hi Jeremy, Can you please do a video about buying a condo to live there in the winter?
We want to live there 4 months of the year in a Condo and then rent it out on Airbnb for the warmer months.
We live in NY and it will not be our primary residence.
What do we need to know about taxes?
Flooding insurance if you dont live there full time.
How much does a closing cost on a condo?
Any other hidden fees buying there and not living there full time?
Thank you for any ideas.
Hey There! Can you email this to me as well as a good phone number? I can then go over this with you! Great questions! My email is info@jeremyblanton.com.
I moved from Myrtle beach SC to Durham NC and Myrtle Beach is cheaper than here but we still have family down there and rental property
Don’t forget to disclose all of the personal property taxes
You're taxed on every year for everyvehicle you have licensed in s.c., and it ain't cheap. I have 3 vehicles and the newest one is a 2013 Ford, nothing expensive. It's over 800 a year for all 3. And if you buy or bring a car into the state there's a 7% sales taxe plus a 700$ " road impact " fee. Myrtle Beach taxes will cost you 10% to eat out.
Thank you! The houses in Conway around the lake looked like a high flood area. Do you have videos on low flood/lower flood insurance areas?
Hey there! There definitely are some places around the Conway & other parts of Horry & Georgetown county that are not going to be in high cost flood zones. Feel free to email me at info@jeremyblanton.com and I can see what I can do to help!
You forgot to mention the pay in that area. It is terrible compared to other places.
Shhhhh that type of info doesn't help put money in his pocket!
question. really considering moving there once i graduate college. is there a demand for personal trainers or gyms? i wanna start my business there in the personal training field
There are several gyms in the area, but with the constant growth, there is definitely opportunity!
Watching ‘the trial’ no. Not investing anything now in MB nor Pawley’s nor Edisto or Lowcountry!😳 Might return for Vaca only 🏖️🌊☀️
Just found your video. I am looking to move very soon. And I am looking in horry county school district. Would love for your help. Coming from up North
Email me info@jeremyblanton.com and let me know how I can help!
I am thinking of moving to the Myrtle Beach and am looking for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home or apt or townhome and I am on 100% disability but am wondering on the insurance part is it expensive to carry hurricane insurance and or flood insurance????? Thx
It's all dependent on which part of the beach you end up. It can get very expensive, but a lot depends on location. Some Condo complexes have it included in their HOA fees.
How is the grime and schools
Hi, I have a question, how much is the cost in renting an apartment in Myrtle Beach on 2 bedroom from 20 to 40 minutes to get to Myrtle beach and the cost of renting. I’ll appreciate
It's ultimately going to depend on the apartment complex and what amenities/location. But I'm guessing at least 1,000+ these days.
@@jeremyblanton Thanks a lot 🙏
Basements are not a common thing there, correct?
Well I was thinking you had a flying car there for a minute 🤣🤣
Not sure if I could live in a place where the State Flag has the stars and bars.
How come none of you real estate agents discuss the cost of flood insurance? And what areas to avoid for flooding?
Unless you live in one of the designated flood zones, flood insurance is very affordable... probably 400-500/year to have for just in case. Inside designated flood zones it is more, but it is based on the zone you are in and also the size, age, price of the home, so it's a huge variable as to what that number would be and can really only be calculated on a case by case basis.
Thanks Jeremy
What’s your HOA?
In my neighborhood, the HOA is $90/month. It includes access to two community pools, use of a fitness center, basketball courts. It also includes trash, basic cable & high speed internet.
@@jeremyblanton wow! How soon can I move down there? Lol
I’m about to sell my place in Ocean City, MD and planning to buy a place down there. I’ll definitely get in touch with you when the time comes.
By the way, I’m also from PA. I worked in Temple and Exeter, right in the Reading area.
@@hhwin2198 Wow! What a small world! I grew up in Reading and attended Exeter High School! Feel free to call me at 843-222-9402 or email me at info@jeremyblanton.com
How's the pay in MB?
Great question! It all is going to depend on what type of work you are looking for. Being that we are a tourism centered area, most of the jobs in our area revolve around the hospitality industry or construction. As for manufacturing type of jobs, they are non existent.
Mental health
@@jeremyblanton there is manufacturing in Carolina forest. I've been talking to one about a job.
@@jerrycraig5973 Unfortunately when it comes to Manufacturing in our area there isn't a whole lot of it.
@@jeremyblanton Wife and I are into Sales/Management/HR and a Physical Therapist. I know the first is probably there, but how are health care jobs there? Since it's a retirement area, I'd assume there's opportunities for it?
man-made lake? so what abt alligators?😳
I love myrtle Beach i go there at least twice a year.but I wouldn't want to live there
My mom loves myrtle too, but would never move there either
2022 all housing has increased by 50% so can't afford a condo now, tried for two months. Forget Myrtle Beach, it's an insult to your pocket book, all greed now.
Finding a place can be tricky right now for sure, that's due the super low inventory, but that is the same everywhere in the country right now. Luckily, people are making good money when selling, but when trying to buy at this point can be frustrating for sure. Don't lose hope, it will happen!
while you are not wrong, we don't need more cars (traffic) people and new homes here, so keep this on the down low bud. Especially if they are moving down to vote for higher taxes that they just moved away from.
All the Yankees are moving down here in God's country sad stay across the border
