Myrtle Beach Makes Top 10
List of Places to Buy a Second Home

Myrtle Beach ranks fourth in a list of the top places to invest in a second home, according to escapehomes.com. It has also been identified as the second-fastest growing metropolitan area by American Demographics. See why so many people are now calling Myrtle Beach their home (or second home!).

Myrtle Beach currently has a population of 23,000. American Demographics, a census research firm, indicates this number may be dramatically on the rise. Based on such factors as annual population growth and employment growth, and the popularity of the Grand Strand area, many visitors are looking to sink their dollars into what was little more than swampland 100 years ago. Myrtle Beach real estate has skyrocketed in the past 10 years, and with the low interest rates and potential for rental income, families have decided to stake a permanent claim at the “Best Family Beach”. Second homes and investment properties have become “one of the few golden investment opportunities” says Clark Thompson, CEO of EscapeHomes. Coastal Living cites the Myrtle Beach area as having the second highest grossing condominium values behind Orlando, FL, and this has more than just the eyes of potential buyers turned towards the Strand. Companies such as Hitachi Metals and Blue Cross/Blue Shield have opened locations in the Grand Strand region, and the beach has been listed as the top place for bankers to travel domestically by the BankTravel membership directory.

For those who already reside in Myrtle Beach, there’s little wonder why everyone is looking to spend their time here. Here are just a few reasons why it’s the best place to be:

• Over 4.2 million rounds are played each year on the Strand’s nearly 120 courses
• 300 outlet stores and 4 malls offer the best prices on the most popular brands, including Tommy Hilfiger, Old Navy, Nautica, and Abercrombie & Fitch (coming soon!)
• 8 live entertainment theaters hold a combined total of 11,400 seats with shows ranging from celebrity impersonators to modern rock to country
• The Grand Strand is a stretch of beach 60 miles long, from Calabash, NC to Georgetown, SC-all the beach you need!

13.7 million visitors make their way to Myrtle Beach each year; could this many be wrong? For the best return on your investment dollar, invest in the Grand Strand-the only place to have your second home.
