What Is Your Murrells Inlet 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 Murrells Inlet Home Value, From the Water Inward
Your Murrells Inlet home value starts with its relationship to the water: marsh front, a dock on a creek, a view of the inlet, or a few streets back. Local to Coastal Realty builds a comparative market analysis from recent sales of houses with the same kind of water and the same county, what is under contract now, and what sat, and I walk your house before giving you a number.
What Moves Value Here
The county. Murrells Inlet sits in Horry and Georgetown counties, and a buyer's tax bill depends on which. For a home you live in, the Georgetown side's tax district 41 comes to about 128.8 mills on 4 percent at tax year 2025 rates; the Horry side's 2026 levies come to at least about 90.1 mills before waste management or other district levies. I compare your house with sales on the same side first.
Flood and wind. Lenders require flood insurance on a federally backed loan for a building in a Special Flood Hazard Area, and buyers price the premium in, so an elevation certificate and current premiums help.
Condition. Roof, windows, docks, and storm upgrades, adjusted the way a buyer would.
Why the Tax Card Misleads
For a Horry County house, Horry explains that an 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 far from today's market, so I never price from it.
What I Need From You
Your address, updates and when they were done, any elevation certificate, current flood and wind premiums, dock permits if you have a dock, 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 Murrells Inlet. Get in touch or call (336) 516-4136 for your number.
