Oceanfront Condo Market

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

 

If you are looking for investment property, Myrtle Beach should be at the top of your list!  New oceanfront condos are being built while older buildings are being refurbished.

 

Ways to Purchase Oceanfront Condos

·         Re-sale – A condo currently owned by someone who has placed that property on the open market. Generally, this type of condo is listed with a REALTOR or For Sale By Owner.

·         Pre-construction – A new condo tower is building construction.  Condos are sold before construction begins.  The developer will hire one or more companies to market these condos. 

·         Condo Conversions - You may have heard about hotel conversions and wondering what is involved. Rather than tearing down a structurally sound building, a developer will come in and refurbish the hotel rooms into condos. Initially, the rooms are sold "as is" with the refurbishment package included in the purchase price. The renovation takes place once the rooms are sold and closed. Once the initial owners close on their condo, they can sell the unit any time (before or after renovation) or hold on to the condo.
