SC
Markets / South Carolina

The Grand Strand.

60 miles of coastline. No state income tax. One of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the country. Whether you're relocating, investing, or building — this is where it's happening.

Why South Carolina

The case for moving South.

🏖

Lifestyle Upgrade

Beach living, year-round golf, lower cost of living — without sacrificing quality. The Grand Strand isn't just a vacation — it's a way of life.

📊

No State Income Tax

South Carolina has no state income tax on most forms of retirement income, and overall tax burden is significantly lower than the Northeast.

📈

Appreciation Potential

Myrtle Beach metro home values have seen strong year-over-year growth with inventory still trailing demand. Smart money is moving South.

🏗

New Construction Boom

Master-planned communities, custom builders, and resort-style developments are reshaping the coastline. Get in on the front end, not the back.

💰

STR Income

Short-term rental demand is massive here — 20M+ tourists visit the Grand Strand annually. Your beach house can pay for itself.
