According to a story in the Sun News yesterday, tourism for the 2009 season may prove to be a very challenging year for the Myrtle Beach area.Brad Dean, president of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, where he said the “number of trips taken will be down next year, and hiring levels will be much lower”.
Most of those in the hospitality industry will agree that tourism did take a blow for the 2008 season. Of course, this all depends on what particular industry you are in. I even remember a story a few months ago when even Hamburger Joe’s Restaurant in North Myrtle Beach was taking a hit. And now with bike week bikers being bummed about the new ordinances for bikers, the spring bike rally probably won’t bring as much money as it has in previous years. So yea, 2009 might be quite tough!

Homeowners Associations are established to preserve, protect and enhance the community. The powers of a homeowners association are derived partly from applicable law and partly from the bylaws and the recorded declaration. The services provided by your Homeowners Association are varied and extensive. So the homeowners association are usually jointly responsible for the full costs of maintaining the infrastructure and any facilities owned by their association and, via their payment of rates to the local authority, they are also contributing to the costs of maintaining the infrastructure of all other townships within the jurisdiction of their local authority. Most Associations have a set of Rules and Regulations as well as Architectural Guidelines.
Homeowners associations are entities organized to govern the operation of common interest communities. Homeowner’s associations are governed by a board of directors which are elected by the homeowners. Homeowner’s association boards are well-advised to use tact, persuasion, and reason whenever possible in the enforcement of their rules. They also have the power to impose reasonable fines for violations of the rules and regulations and to levy late charges for tardy assessments. Homeowners Association are established to preserve, protect and enhance the community. They are non-profit corporations formed to “maintain” a subdivision (community, neighborhood). Their dues range from around $20 to $70 a month, depending on the types of amenities and size of the community; although Homeowner’s Associations may no longer prohibit property owners from displaying political signs on their property, even if deed restrictions or restrictive covenants purport to ban the practice. The Association is responsible for all maintenance and repairs to the common areas of the property, including the grounds, and the parking areas/roadways, as well as the exterior surfaces of the buildings such as doors, windows, skylights, decks, patios, stoops or sidewalks. Each owner shall be responsible for the maintenance of that portion of the landscape screen and/or entrance treatment that is located on his or her lot.
Generally the Homeowner’s Association’s board meetings will be published and open to all resident members. The Board meetings, which are typically open to all unit owners, are usually held on a monthly basis. Even though the meetings are open, there is no obligation to allow non-board members an opportunity to speak or otherwise participate in the meeting.
Keep in mind that the rules and regulations of the Homeowners Association are designed for the good of all homeowners and the community. Even though they may be strict, the Homeowners Associations are established to preserve, protect and enhance the community

According to an article published by the Sun News in Myrtle Beach, homes are now selling faster since the decline in prices over the past six months. Homes spent an average of fewer days on the market during the first half of this year than the same time last year in the Grand Strand area. 202 days vs 225 days
Keep in mind, this doesn’t mean there were MORE home sales (actually they were down 29.3 percent, according to the article.) The same with condo sales, where the median price dropped 11.1 percent from last year’s first half.
So what does this mean to me? The average home buyer? It means I should have waited six months to buy my house. But who would have known. I read that others are waiting for the market to hit rock bottom before they buy, so they can get an even better deal. Other than that, its just interesting to see where the Myrtle Beach real estate market is going. Excellent investment opportunities are out there for condos.
