When Buying An Oceanfront Condo In Myrtle Beach Property Manager Matters
Abe, are you running a coaching program or no?
HaHa
Sir, people can't afford condos, when the prospect of monthly dues being just as much as the monthly mortgage payment, drives people right out of the market! This is EXACTLY why North Myrtle and Myrtle Realtors should be AGGRESSIVELY marketing the homes for sale in the manufactured home communities, especially the Intracoastal "Retreats" next to big money condo developments, where life is JUST AS SWEET, only a LOT cheaper! Every single local Realtor should have a running list from Zillow, of the MH's in N. Myrtle and Myrtle the same size or even larger than some of these condos, but with NO HOA's, which are listing for UNDER $125,000 FULLY REMODELED, which is a STEAL no matter how you look at it. THESE are the communities where the buyers need to be brought, and there shouldn't be ONE home in this amazing price range on the market for any more than a couple of weeks! Any negative stereotyping of MH communities will go away when prospective buyers see the Mercedes, Lexus and BMW's in the driveways! The key is checking Zillow daily, and if you find a redone home at a price like this, SNAP IT UP!
Thanks for keeping it real.
You’re welcome
We sold our beach house in Jan 2022 in less than a month made a bunch of money, bought a new house on the marsh and paid a bunch of money for it!
Every Ocean Front property is aging into “assessment situations”they need repairs .. also HOA fees are rising due to insurance had a friend who received insurance assessment increase of $5000 had to be paid within 30 days. This is becoming an issue taxes are increasing. So be cautious about ocean front properties for certain need to get HOA meeting transcripts .. ask about up coming assessment fees Many are in assessment litigation.
Something that should be paid attention to.
We should see 3.99% mortgage rates very soon, in spring 2025.
Yes, taxes have increased, all the more reason that prospective home buyers need to think "outside the box" and realize just how smart a MH purchase is. North Myrtle has some wonderful, waterfront communities where people just may be able to buy a small home larger than a higher priced condo, for LESS than $125,000! That is an AMAZING price, especially if you come from up North! Best part: NO taxes paid on the land!! Quite frankly, Zillow shouldn't have ANY inventory in this price range in North Myrtle, and the Realtors should be aggressively marketing these homes to the condo buyer sector!
There's a number of reasons a lot of those properties are vacation only🎉 you have to buy the mobile home outright because nobody's going to give you a loan for a mobile home🎉 and yes you're not paying property tax but you're paying a lot fee 🎉 and depending on what neighborhood you're in your neighbor might be a full-blown crystal meth addict
@@JacobsNews Yes, but where can you buy a home for under $125K? The North Myrtle Beach area is in a sweet spot on the Intracoastal that doesn't flood and doesn't bear the brunt of hurricanes. There are a LOT of people in NC, SC and GA without homes, making "Go Fund Me's" to raise the money to buy a MH in N. Myrtle that's on the market an EXCELLENT SOLUTION!! There shouldn't be a MH left on the market in a few weeks, and displaced families should be moved in as church groups pool their money and purchase these for people!
Completed sales in the month vs. 2023 and 2022 would be a better statistic.
Not a good time now. Shit economy
I’m confused if you listen to Joe and Kamala that economy is just great?
From a Realtor perspective, any commission is better than no commission, so taking from the other person's comment, when house prices go up along with mortgage rates, why AREN'T Realtors shifting gears, and marketing the MOBILE HOME communities in the North Myrtle area, as a viable alternative to renting or buying a condo? IF there are still homes for sale in the area, let's say $125,000 and under, which is INSANELY affordable, especially to people coming from up North, they should be SNAPPED UP as fast as they hit the market!!! Four quick sales of these homes in a month add up to one half million dollar home!! NO BRAINER, REALTORS, and THIS is the direction that buyers need to be pointed in!
Not to mention an increase in crime, homelessness, open air drug use etc…. MB is a has been nasty area now, tell the truth
We could have too many people and two little houses, but if the people cannot afford the homes, they simply cannot buy them because they will not be approved for a mortgage. The House prices increased with inflation over the past few years, but inflation is leveling out. Salaries did not keep up with inflation, which is why there are too many people on the sidelines that want to be homeowners but cannot be homeowners. They cannot just wish it to be true rates more people will come onto the market, but you are not taking into consideration that usually when the Fed drops the rates it is because we are heading into a recession. If we are in a recession and less people are employed, I do not see how there will be more houses selling.
4 months inventory of SF homes and CLIMBING! How can you be encouraged?
@@GTB1 because 4 months is not that much if you look at historic numbers. That would be considered low inventory pre covid.
NO ONE will sell at a discount unless they apsolutly have to. That will take a market Crash,, and if that happens... NO ONE will be buying because,,well,,its a Market Crash effecting the entire world economy
it's been bad for 10 years it's criminal bad lots of cheating lots of lies I got out 10 years ago maybe 15 long time ago I made mine and I sold it one year later for a nice profit Myrtle Beach is not the place to be right now wait one year
The Myrtle Beach market is bad, with overpriced homes and condos, which is exactly WHY, like I saw on another channel, the MOBILE HOME COMMUNITIES IN NORTH MYRTLE, should be where EVERYONE IS LOOKING to buy a home OUTRIGHT, for less than $125K! THAT is called buying SMART, especially for retirees as a condo alternative, or for parents looking to provide a home for an adult child who is going through a divorce, for example. There shouldn't be ONE of these homes on Zillow for long, and people need to dismiss the negative stereotype of these communities, which is a major disservice!!
What is even worse is just to the north of Myrtle Beach Brunswick County NC there are tens of thousands of apartments, condos, and especially single family homes….last time I heard there are 50,000 residential building permits at varying stages of construction.
Wow
@@Myrtlebeachrealtor - need to keep in mind when working with clients. They may ghost you and come up here. I. Worried that if we have another major storm like Florence the flooding will be horrendous (setbacks, lot size, permeability are virtually nonexistent)
Abe have you seen casualty insurance companies pulling out or not insuring these areas because of the increasing coastal environmental risk? Florida and coastal Georgia has been seeing this lately.
Yes I have and the ones that stay are hiking up the premiums. My home insurance is up 65% from 2 years ago.
Imagine wanting to live in Myrtle Beach.
Appreciate the video and your local insight. FYI, the report you are referring to is actually called the "Absorption Rate". For anybody that wants to sell soon, I'd pay close attention to the volume of sales starting to drop and and the direction of home prices if they are still increasing. Don't be greedy.
Way to many developments here And now townhomes and huge single family homes communities are high rent only, Can’t buy them They are over priced I live in Myrtle Beach Roads are so bad Not enough doctors and dentist to help the people who have and continue to move here and all the surrounding communities Greedy developers have ruined Myrtle Beach and all surrounding areas
I would never buy a condo period. It's a glorified apartment,
I’m an avid golfer. Great place for vacation but I wouldn’t want to live there.
@@pubmeatman definitely a great place to golf and vacation. As for living here, I’ve been here since 1988. I love it but can see how it’s not for everyone.
I live in SC and have vacationed in MB dozens of times. Have friends that were forced to live there due to job location. In a word, they did not care for it. In season, the traffic is mind boggling. You pay a premium for everything there as far as staples. If your a car person you won't like it. Your car stays covered in sand year round - guess that's to be expected at any beach. There are some developments and areas that are tucked away a littel bit and might border a nice golf course, some wetlands, or something other than commercial properties. If you plan to retire there spend at least a few weeks to understand the flow of traffic and areas you want to avoid at all cost. As stated, most folks that retrire there are from out of state. With that said, the people are not as friendly as what you will find 30 miles inland. It's not for everyone.
Saint Simons Island further South in GA is still commanding price increases. Two weeks ago the only house for sale in our subdivision went for the ask in a couple days. I thought it was a very strong price. Maybe we don't have enough condos and we're a smaller community.
@@paullockyer7905 that’s great!!
St. Simons is considered a VERY nice place to live.
CRIME is the reason. Bi-Den AmeriCA IS REAL. Bad guys aren't put in prison anymore. that would be racist.
I sold an ocean front condo in 2017. Lost money after buying in 2005. Myrtle Beach, SC is basically a second home market that is greatly affected by changes in the market. There are not enough high paying jobs in that area to support year round living. Most year round people are retirees who worked up north and built up big retirement assets. Now, they move south to get better weather. I predict at least a 20% drop in current prices for single family homes and condos in that area.
Interesting perspective. I can see that happening in condos. Not sure that we will see a 20% drop in homes. Time will tell.
You are exactly right.
@@vaughncowan4055I look at the numbers a lot and numbers don’t lie.
@@Myrtlebeachrealtor Prices are already dropping The homes are overpriced Taxes too high Insurance way too high Traffic insane Not enough roads Not enough doctors and dentist to care for all the people. Development that’s been going on and still going on Is out of control. HOA increases All materials to fix a home has gone way way up in price The beach is ruined Not enough jobs Most all jobs are seasonal and people can’t live on seasonal wages It’s always been very hard for most of the people living here for decades Only the rich can afford to live here and not have to stress over bills

Homes are at their highest prices ever. 7% rates are really high relative to what we have seen in the recent decade. So I agree with those two things. Worst time to buy? That’s a relative comment. I don’t believe in timing markets. Whether real estate or the stock market. People who try and time markets usually lose or never make a move. They always think the best time to buy was the past. I am concerned about the condo market and I want to make sure people are aware. This market update was not meant to promote buying. So the greed comment stumped me. But it’s ok. I appreciate your opinion and I welcome any debate.
@@Myrtlebeachrealtor BULLSHIT. I own 7 homes in the Myrtle Beach/North Myrtle Beach area. Plenty of investors time the real estate market. I did in 2008. When it tanks again I will buy more. It will tank again.
@@giii7599gotcha. Appreciate your opinion. Give me 2 investors. One that tries to time the market and one that just buys and holds and I’ll take the latter any day…the will blow away the former in Returns. NO ONE knows when the bottom is and when the top is. If you bought in ‘08 because it looked like the world was coming to end, you still over paid because the market kept declining. The best deals were in ‘11 and ‘12. So unless a person has a crystal ball, then claiming that they can time the market is like the guy going to Vegas thinking they can beat the casino. I’ll take the casino.
@@Myrtlebeachrealtor Buying homes that the bank loaned $400k on for $150K was no loss. Those homes now go for $380k and above. Nobody will time it perfectly. However people buying right now are making a huge mistake.
@@giii7599 gotcha. Good purchase.
3:20 Cognitive Dissonance that wont age well. #GREED
If you’re interested in knowing the facts then research how many millenials there are and what ages they are now…getting to the prime home buying age. Then look at how many homes there are for sale in the country…relative to how many of them want to buy a home. THEN google how many gen z there are out there and do a little math to see when they will reach that prime home buying age. If you still think that people should time the market then please come back and give me your opinion.
Great Analysis😅
@@Myrtlebeachrealtor Millenials do not buy in Myrtle Beach unless they can work remotely with a stable job. A majority of buyers are 60+ year old retirees from New York, New Jersey, and other northern states.
@@proudliberal24-sv1wo I agree. But they buy in NY and NJ and many other states with jobs. So the homes they are buying belong to people who are moving down here. So it’s all linked..:in my opinion
It’s nothing to do with the economy or interest rates or employment. It’s all about Climate Change, rising sea levels and the storms that keep getting worse and worse. No smart money is buying a home that’s in harms way.
The Surfside collapse changed the waterfront condo market forever.
That’s another great point. The laws in Florida - as far as requirements for building as they age have not been enacted in SC. No where near as stringent here. If they did, they would have a devastating impact. We are already feeling a big impact in OF condos without the stringent laws.
there is a glut of homes in Myrtle Beach....There is not enough good paying jobs in the area to keep the demand up.....I see a 30% drop coming
Thank you for your input. I agree that we can always use more jobs here. The one thing about this market is that so many of the people moving here are retirees. Hard to imagine a 30% drop In prices. Nothing in the data is showing that but of course things can change.
@@Myrtlebeachrealtor We are getting close to peak boomer. I have no idea what prices will do but there’s not an unlimited supply of retirees either.
great point!! There is not. The millennials just took over boomers as the largest pool of buyers and they have what - 30+ years to retiring.
Sad to see this happening with popular plantation timeshares, figured all the golf courses would have help sustained retires let alone vacationers...over 30yrs not much growth has occured at least the mandate of demo the motels etc... and new water park and googles presences is a positve and yes still disreable would love to retire there.
@@azeemali7102 this is incoherent babbling....you should run for president
Great info. Thanks!
You're welcome...glad I can be of help
Great video
Thanks. Glad you found it helpful.
The cost of HOA, extraordinary fees, the parking fees, the upkeep of the condo (especially ANYTHING exposed to the salt infested wind), window cleaning, renewing much of the furniture every 3-4 years, state income tax, state land tax, property and fire insurance, water damage insurance, usually paying the condo manager in order to rent out the property, advertising, real estate fees to manage - just go on and on and on. In this market it is IMPOSSIBLE to make money on rentals unless you charge $3-4,000 a week!
I heard you can get management fees for 15 percent
Hi Abe, I like you video, very helpful. What do you think to purchase SFH instead condo for investment? Would like have your professional opinion. Thank you very much!

What about the rising seas? How come the banks are lending money on ocean front property? Global Warming Inc. says we are all going to be living in Atlantis in 10 years. Algore and manbearpig
Hi, thank you for this. Is there a cap or a restriction on resell?
You’re welcome. There is no cap or resell restrictions.
What is causing the increase in these 5 resorts
Looking into this myself, I think multiples are leading to this. Assessment pending, potential litigations, policy changes (I ran into aa building that is going to start implementing a $450 fee a month if the owner uses a 3rd part rental management company like Airbb).
Hi, thanks for the video and the information. That was very helpful. We have a quick question, can all oceanfront Condotels be self managed or do some require you to use their management company? Thanks.
Hi. Glad you found it helpful. You can do offsite or self managed for any of them but be careful some buildings may charge you an extra fee and or may limit use of some amenities if you don’t use on site. So look careful at the hoa documents.
@@abesafa9927 thanks for the tip. We'll look out for that. Much appreciated!
You’re welcome
My sister has her house on the market and the first person that wanted it was approved and they put down some money towards it but then backed out once they spoke to the bank and learned of how high the interest rate is. So even though the house is priced right, it seems that the interest rates are working against both the buyer and the seller.
Sorry to hear about the fall-through. We are seeing more of that happen than in a "normal" market. Interest rates are high relatively to what they have been the last couple of years but not that bad if you look back further. Buyers are slowly adjusting to the "new" way but at the end of the day, it really is not an interest rate issue. It's an overall affordability issue. The giant gain in home prices we have had coupled with "high" interest rates makes for an affordability challenge. There will be a buyer for your sister's home, if it is priced "right" as you mentioned.
