What Is Your Little River Home Worth?
A real number from someone who knows the comps, not an automated guess.
A Quick Note
This page is general information, not an appraisal and not legal, tax, or insurance advice. A valuation is my professional opinion of a likely sale price based on recent sales, and only a licensed appraiser produces an appraisal. I am a real estate professional, and my part is pricing your home to sell.

Your Little River Home Value, Measured Against Real Sales
Your Little River home value is what a buyer will pay now, and the sales that tell us that are in Little River and the nearby Grand Strand, not an estimate built from a county record. Local to Coastal Realty builds a comparative market analysis from recent sales, what is under contract now, and what sat, and I walk your house before I give you a number.
What Moves Value Here
The water. Waterway or marsh frontage, a dock, and boat access add value, while the flood zone and the premiums that come with it can take some back, because lenders require flood insurance on a federally backed loan for a building in a Special Flood Hazard Area.
Who the buyer is. A buyer who will live in the house pays about 91.9 mills on a 4 percent assessment on Horry County's 2026 levies; a buyer purchasing a second home or rental pays about 201.0 mills on 6 percent. On a $400,000 house that is roughly $1,470 against $4,824 a year, and it shapes what each buyer can pay.
Condition. Roof, windows, systems, and storm upgrades, adjusted the way a buyer would.
Why Your Tax Value Is Not Your Price
Horry County explains that once a property is on the tax rolls, its assessment does not change unless physical changes are made, a reassessment is implemented, or an assessable transfer of interest occurs. A house that has not sold in years can carry a tax value well apart from the market. A sale can be an assessable transfer, so your buyer's tax value may change afterward, and I never price from the tax card.
What I Need From You
Your address, updates and when they were done, any elevation certificate, current flood and wind premiums, rental history if it is rented, anything that needs work, and your timeline. Then you choose: list now, fix a few things first, or wait. If you list, read selling your home in Little River. Get in touch or call (336) 516-4136 for your number.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my Horry County tax value what my house is worth?
No. Horry County says an assessment does not change without physical changes, a reassessment, or an assessable transfer, so a tax value can sit far from today's market.
Does it matter whether my buyer will live in the house?
It changes their tax bill a lot, which shapes what they can pay. On Horry's 2026 levies, about $1,470 a year on $400,000 as a legal residence against about $4,824 as a second home.
Is the valuation free?
Yes, with no obligation to list.
