Grand Strand Real Estate Market for June 2013

In June Single Family homes continued strong with the number of sales year to date up 19.2% from 2012 with the median sales price up 6.72% YTD.

However, inventories are up almost 7% from last year and mortgage interest rates are slowly climbing higher; these factors will keep the number of sales and further price gains under pressure, but off setting this is the number of distressed properties (foreclosed, etc.) which is down 33.8% from last year.

Condos show smaller gains with the number of sales up 4.8% year to date and the median sales price about the same; distressed properties are down sharply, 43.7% from last year, potentially good news for sellers. Condos remain difficult to finance with about 61% being cash sales compared with about 26% for single family homes.
