From what I've learned recently, you can find high end custom homes in Grande Dunes in the 700K range and up.
Most of the Grande Dunes is a Mediterranean theme, so expect to see barrel tile roofs and natural colored stucco exterior finishes.
Whole heartedly agree with normie71 about the market slump, especially given that real estate, as a whole, is undervalued in Myrtle Beach in comparison with 'like' areas. Why do you think there are so many people from outside the area buying here now?
The condo market seems to be on a slight uptick from what I can tell. It's only a matter of time before the entire housing market begins to level out and gain forward momentum again. If you have the means, buy something now, especially in an area identified as one of the fastest growing areas on the eastern seaboard..
Then again, I'm in real estate.. what do I know? ;-)
