Wow. I'm missing something here. Apparently "affordability" has definitely changed. I moved down here a year and a half ago from New York(about 100 miles north of NYC in the Hudson Valley) primarily due to some family issues. For years I've heard that living in the south is cheaper. Well, I don't see it. I retired from law enforcement and live on a pension. Housing prices are absolutely ridiculous and rents are worse. I pay $1700 a month for a tiny 750sq.ft. cottage in a complex about a mile to a mile and a half from the beach...IN Murrells Inlet/Garden City. My brother has a house in a development in Surfside. He built it before real estate went completely nuts down here and now it's supposedly "worth" more than 2x what it cost him, but I guess that's good for him. Most definitely NOT for anyone looking to buy now. He says his property taxes are still cheaper than in NY, That is ONE positive. While there is alot to do if you want to, there are extremely aggravating drawbacks. This place is ridiculously crowded, the traffic completely sucks...and that's year round and just gets worse with what is considered "peak" season, basically about 3/4 of the year. People can't drive for crap, they're inconsiderate and totally stupid in ALL facets when it comes to driving...morons. it's a daily nightmare. It's not the "locals", bcuz there doesn't seem to be too many of them around...it's the thousands of idiots from somewhere else, the northeast, the Midwest, and wherever else these clowns come from. Myrtle Beach seems to be about 90% people from somewhere else. I thought New Jersey and NYC drivers were bad. You ain't seen nothing 'til you come down here. BUT...back to "affordability". Other than property taxes being cheaper, depending upon where you migrate from I suppose, from where I currently sit...NOTHING is "cheaper" or more "affordable" .
Northern Virginia is at least twice as expensive as the figures you're showing. Rents are 2 grand a month, townhouses, even older ones are 270K. Most houses are starting at around 500K for the smaller ones. I moved closer to central Virginia and in 2021 I got into a 50 year old townhouse for 188K, and now if it was on the market it'd be 230K.
@@RetirementLifeUSA It still is the best investment. Nothing else really comes close, considering risks. I feel a little bad for people that are wanting to buy a house and can't get approved for the one they want. Can't make a crazy high income just to become a homeowner. Well they just need a starter home but even that might not be attainable. These prices need to come down though - not increase.
@@metalmike570 in northern Virginia is a great place to live. Loudoun county is number one in the country for income, jobs, safety and most desirable place to live.
If you want the ocean, you will pay a price for it. Now especially with everybody moving to SC with money to spend. I escaped MD and wanted to be near the ocean but ended up near Florence and closer to the grandkids. I am on a golf course with an in-ground pool though. We can get to the beach in 90 minutes when we want.
NOT as affordable anymore...you quoted 257k, however, most are around 400k+....very very crowed down in Myrtle Beach now..Bike weeks are also brutal down there..
Retired in Myrtle Beach in 2005. Agree with everything you said. One thing more is it’s literally built on a hill, from 11 feet to 33 feet high. Any town just north or south of Myrtle is called low country for a reason, 2 to 4 feet above sea level. Go to Surfside beach at a full moon on high tide, called a king tide. Even downtown Charleston will flood some streets. Then add a hurricane.
My wife and I built a house in Horry county in 2021. We paid $215,000 including the 1/2 acre lot. Also our mortgage rate was 3%. We will be leaving NJ in 2026. We were contemplating on waiting, thank goodness we didn’t! We go down for holidays right now and we see a new development going up every time! The days of $200k homes are over! 😏😎
Hey Rick Glad to hear you were successful! There are still pockets of areas where you can get in under 200k, but you are right building continues and it doesn't look like an end is in site
Not Myrtle Beach. I grew up in and live in Central North Carolina. As a kid, we all vacationed in Myrtle Beach regularly. ALL FOUR of my High School years. in the late 1980s, I was arrested by rent-a-cops for drinking beer in Myrtle Beach. They never even made sure they knew my real name (which they never did). They just wanted my friends to go collect money from our party and give it to them. It was more of a hostage situation than anything else. The kicker though, was when I got homeported in Norfolk, my second year in the Navy. My ship came to homeport and I took some of my friends to show them Myrtle Beach. I did not even get into the house we had rented. I cracked a beer in the parking lot of the house we were renting...and the rent-a-cops swarmed me. This time, I did not take it so lightly and I ram my mouth until the came up with $500 worth of bullshit "charges." I had to sit in jail until my direct deposit hit just to buy my way out and then HITCH HIKE back to my ship in Norfolk. I vowed, right then, to NEVER spend another PENNY in Horry County, SC. This was 1991. I have been back in central NC since 1992. I have KEPT this promise for 33 years running now. And yes, I did very well in life and retired at 50. In August, my wife and I are moving to the coast to spend our retirement money for the NEXT 30 years. Myrtle Beach...you LOSE...because F___ YOU, Myrtle Beach.
Wow....what a story.....I never realized they were so bad! But I do have a brother-in-law who was a renta-cop and I still can't believe that they gave him a gun, with bullets in it! 🤣
@@RetirementLifeUSA yeah, they were ridiculous. But it was that last time, the time when I wasn't in high school anymore and they had no problem running the shake down on me while I was serving in the United States military... That was the time then put this whole thing over the edge. I will chew my own leg off before I went drop a dime in horry county again. 33 years running.

I recently discovered your channel, and am considering retiring to the Carolinas. I want to live in a warm weather climate, and fish I don't care about living near the ocean. Been there, done that.

Nice video Keith. I am looking to retire in the next few years to the beach from the Midlands of SC and the only change for me would have been to replace Myrtle Beach with North Myrtle Beach. To me the NMB, Cherry Grove Beach, Little River, and Longs area rivals Surfside, Garden City, and Murrels Inlet area for affordability and things to do. I hope all the haters continue to move out or not move in to leave space for those of us who know how special that area is!
The BEST retirement option, in my opinion, is North Myrtle Beach, where if you mine Zillow carefully, you can find a fully renovated mobile home for the price of a condo, without the mortgage payment and condo fee that equals a mortgage payment! The Fed isn't going to lower the interest rate any time soon, so NOW is the time to be SNAPPING UP waterfront community Mobile Homes, some which are literally in RETREATS! This means buying not just a house, but a lifestyle, and for less than $120K? That's a no brainer! June is the TIME TO BUY in North Myrtle, and there just may be some hidden gems on Zillow! My family from NJ lucked out with a sweet MH in North Myrtle, and you can too!
The problem is the lot rent in the communities. They keep going up (at least in Florida) with no cap, whereas, retirement income does not follow suit :(
Disagree with affordability. Realtors have pushed prices up by crazy amounts. Houses sold in 2012 and 2022 for $350K now listed for $570K or more. Lots were $30k going for $100k or more. Lucily the market is pushing back and people aren't falling for it.
It's not the Realtors. It's sellers who don't want to move and lose their low interest rates and high mortgage rates that are keeping buyers sided lined. Simple supply and demand with mortgages thrown in to keep it interesting
Disagree. Work in banking. Appraisers with realtors work to raise prices every spring. Only when buyers push back di prices fall. Myrtle Beach a rea definitely in iver supply mode and over priced. Luckily starting to see some discount on house now.
It is true! And when you find a place you bid against private equity robots. Move there and the towns are full of overprivileged rich white people who all move in a herd and get more conservative every year!
Out of touch for ordinary retirees. This may be ok for people retiring from Canada, California or New York City, but there is no way a typical retiree can afford the housing in these places. This is for the rich only.
HAHAHA Myrtle Beach, AKA Murder beach, no thank you. Then Garden City, but no mention of Surfside Beach next door? Come-on, do better Mr. Lucas. Then Murrells inlet which is just south of Garden City Beach? Murrells Inlet will cost you a fortune if you want a place on the water, and by water I mean canal or harbor/marsh side. AFAIK, Murrells Inlet has NO beach access. To go to the beach you have to go up to Garden City Beach or down to the Huntington Beach State park. But lots of good seafood restaurants there. The truth is anyplace from Surfside Beach southward should be fine if chosen with care and same applies to North Myrtle Beach above Atlantic Beach. Do better, Mr. Lucas.
@@stefonthemove For children not to experience skating downtown Reykjavik in Winter Paradise life like God blessed me with would be selfish not to share the Ultimate Pleasure in Freedom.
Sorry, but your a little too smooth for me. I think you should be more honest. I believe some of these areas get leveled by severe hurricanes every few years.
It's been about 30 years since SC was hit hard by a hurricane. We're probably due. I wouldn't live in Myrtle Beach, though. We call it the redneck Riviera.
Sure. I’ll explain. Low-lying areas like coastal SC, Southern Florida, etc will experience increasing coastal flooding events over the next few decades as sea waters rise and hurricane events become more severe. Most likely, local municipalities will update building codes to protect structures. We used to live in Half Moon Bay, CA. New construction within a few blocks of the ocean now require an unoccupied first floor as winter storms frequently cause coastal flooding a few time each year. I would be cautious about older construction close to the shore when purchasing a home or condo.
@@RetirementLifeUSA In SC my motorhome, boat, truck and motorcycle was right at $5000.00 yearly for tags, Tennessee is $400.00😎🇺🇸 We do six months in Fl and six in Tennessee now. Pretty much tax friendly states🇺🇸 But we do stop and spend time in Beaufort going north and south.
@davidmccartney7577 that seems high. SC caps registration fees at $500.00 per motor vehicle, boat, engine including RV's. Taxes will then start to diminish after the first year of registration. It is based on fair market value.
I'll bet in Florida it definitely is. I'd never buy in those shore areas. And the victims of Helene never saw it coming, and that's way inland except for rivers and some have dams.
