Retire In Myrtle Beach

If your plan is to retire in a few years but want to purchase real estate while prices and interest rates are low you may want to think about the southeastern area of North Carolina known as the Brunswick Isles a.k.a. The North Strand a section of the sixty mile coastal area known as The Grand Strand which includes Myrtle Beach, South Carolina as the hub. 

In the real estate world around Myrtle Beach, some realtors, like myself, are licensed in North and South Carolina so we can offer a nice selection of property within the Grand Strand.  Since I have represented many buyers who want to purchase real estate prior to retirement an overview of property taxes has been a factor in some deciding to purchase in Brunswick County, North Carolina.  Visit the pages on this website that explain the taxes for North Carolina and South Carolina.  You will discover that North Carolina property taxes are the same for residents and non-residents (those who own a second home but reside somewhere else).  In South Carolina non-residents pay a much higher real estate property tax rate.  I do want to note that if you are ready to make the coastal area your residence, South Carolina may be the lowest real estate property taxes. 

In Brunswick County, North Carolina I help buyers locate real estate in Carolina Shores, Calabash, Sunset Beach (Mainland and Island), Ocean Isle Beach (Mainland and Island), and Shallotte.  If you wonder about Mainland and Island that is how we locate real estate in those towns and how locals refer to each area.  The ocean and beach are located on the east side of an island and the island is connected to the mainland by a single bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway.  The majority of people do not know there is no beach on the Mainland of Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach.  The reason even I did not know about the islands until I lived in the area is maps that most of us use.  The separation by the Intracoastal Waterway is only clear on a detailed map of the Brunswick Isles.
