Want to call the Grand Strand home? Or perhaps you\u2019d like to invest in a Myrtle Beach area property to rent or use for vacations? If you are thinking about real estate in this area, you’ve probably heard some of the conversation about rising mortgage rates. If you are unsure about whether now is the \u201cright time\u201d to buy in the Grand Strand, consider this:<\/p>\n

\n1.\u00a0Although the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose to its highest rate in 2 years (from 3.35% in May to 4.51% in July), it is still relatively low by historical standards<\/strong>. The low rates we saw in 2012 and into 2013 helped stimulate the economic growth that is slowly building across the state and nation (in June the US Dept. of Commerce ranked S.C. as the\u00a012th fastest growth in the nation<\/a>). If the economy continues to improve, you may see the Federal Reserve start\u00a0scaling back stimulus policies<\/a>, which could equate to higher rates in the future.

\n2.\u00a0A 1% change in an interest rate might not mean that much in the long run<\/strong>. While it may decrease \u201cbuying power\u201d for some,\u00a0Realtor.com states<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cthe difference in monthly payments for a $200,000 home at 3.9 percent and one at 4.5 percent is just $70.03. If budgeted correctly, this could be a manageable expense.\u201d

\n3.\u00a0The Myrtle Beach area housing market is strengthening<\/strong>. According to our Broker-in-Charge at CondoLux, “quality condo buildings have reached their bottom, and values are starting to grow again. \u00a0It’s getting to the point now where we will be switching from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market.\u00a0Single family construction is booming, and the cost of materials is still relatively low, which makes for great value per square foot.”
