Housing in Murrells Inlet
Murrells Inlet's housing market shows a genuinely wide price spread across sources this session and reads as a real buyer's market -- low competitiveness, real inventory, though homes are selling somewhat faster than a year ago.

Four sources checked this session disagreed sharply: Redfin's $495,000 median sale price (3-mo trailing June 2026, +7.0% YoY) sits at the high end; Houzeo's $334,500 figure (-22.49% YoY) sits at the low end -- roughly a 48% gap between the two. This is a wider spread than most other markets in this batch, most plausibly reflecting Murrells Inlet's genuine mix of property types (MarshWalk-area condos vs. inland single-family homes) and its split across two counties.
A real buyer's market by most measures
The market scores a low 19 out of 100 on Redfin's competitiveness scale, with 5.5 months of inventory -- genuine buyer-favorable conditions. Homes are, however, selling somewhat faster than the prior year (90 days average vs. 107), a real, if modest, improvement in market pace even amid the price uncertainty above.
What this means for buyers and sellers
Given the real, wide price spread this session found, buyers and sellers alike should confirm current, address-specific comparable sales directly with a local agent rather than anchoring to any single cited figure -- and should factor in which county side of Murrells Inlet a property sits on, since that affects tax costs even where home prices are comparable.
