• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 644

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 644 closed sales in Murrells Inlet over the last six months, with a median closing price of $365,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $255,000 and $540,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.

The Murrells Inlet angle

Murrells Inlet sits at the southern end of the Grand Strand below Myrtle Beach, and its housing runs from inland patio homes and condominiums to creekfront property along the marsh. The median across 644 tracked closings was $365,000, with the middle half from $255,000 to $540,000. That $365,000 gap is wide for this median and traces almost entirely to water proximity and property type. Monthly closed counts built to 185 in May before easing to 164 in June. For an investor weighing a coastal Carolina entry point, the lower quartile shows there is a real pool of attainable product here, but it is a different product from what sits at the top of the range.
