Which areas offer the most new construction inventory in Horry County?

While the coastline is known for high-rise condos, the bulk of single-family new construction has shifted inland. Carolina Forest remains a primary hub, offering large master-planned communities with easy access to both Myrtle Beach and Highway 31. Conway is seeing rapid expansion due to its affordability and lack of tourist congestion, making it popular for year-round residents. Additionally, the Longs and Little River areas to the north are growing quickly, attracting buyers who want proximity to the North Carolina border and quieter beaches.

How does the "4% Assessment Ratio" affect property taxes for new homes?

South Carolina offers a significant tax benefit for homeowners who live in the property full-time. Primary residences are taxed at a 4% assessment ratio, whereas second homes and investment properties are taxed at a 6% ratio. This difference can result in a tax bill that is significantly lower for owner-occupants. To qualify, you must file an application with the Horry County Assessor after closing. Additionally, residents over age 65 may qualify for the Homestead Exemption, which further reduces the taxable value of the home.

Is flood and wind insurance required for new construction in Horry County?

If you finance your home, your lender will require flood insurance if the property is located in a federally designated high-risk flood zone (such as Zone AE or VE). However, because tropical systems can bring heavy rain and storm surge to the entire region, coverage is recommended even in low-risk zones. Furthermore, buyers should be aware that standard homeowners policies typically exclude wind and hail damage in coastal counties. You may need a separate wind/hail policy or a specialized endorsement, so it is important to budget for this specific coastal coverage.
