One part of Myrtle Beach is moving faster with less inventory

These numbers cover the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is the period you are reading about.

Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates topped 7% in September 2026, the first time since January 2025. That slowed buyers across the country. Yet one corner of Myrtle Beach still had very little to choose from.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted just 3.2 months of supply in ZIP 29588. That is the lowest of any ZIP code tracked here. It was also down 1.6 months from the same period a year before.

For buyers, fewer choices can mean less room to wait. For sellers, it means pricing and prep still matter. Not every home here is moving fast.

How supply stacks up across the ZIP codes

ZIP 29572 sat at 8.5 months of supply, the Real Estate Data Aggregator found. That is more than double the supply in 29588. Homes there took a median of 107 days to sell.

ZIP 29577 was not far behind at 7.4 months. The median sale price there dipped 3.8% year over year to $250,000, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator.

Speed: where homes moved quickest

ZIP 29585 was the quickest. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median days on market there at 51, which was 58 days shorter than a year before. That is a big shift.

ZIP 29585 also saw its median sale price rise 6.8% to $550,000, and homes sold rose 18.1%, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. More sales, faster closings, higher prices.

Prices: a mixed picture

29588 had a median sale price of $343,000, down 2% from a year before, the Real Estate Data Aggregator found. Prices dipped a little there even as supply tightened. That tells you pricing still matters.

How close to list price did sellers get?

ZIP 29588 led at 97.9%, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Sellers there gave up the least from their asking price. ZIP 29572 was lowest at 94.6%, meaning buyers had more room to negotiate.

The national backdrop

Nationally, Realtor.com reported rates topped 7% in September 2026. CNBC reported that Fannie Mae forecast an average 30-year fixed rate of 7.4% for the fourth quarter of 2026, and 7.5% throughout 2027.

CNBC also reported that pending home sales were down 8.5% year over year in September, citing Zillow. Buyers are cautious across the country.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported that U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Month to month, they rose 0.3% in July on a seasonally adjusted basis.

One street can read very differently from the whole ZIP code. The numbers above are medians. Your home may sit above or below them.
