Welcome...

Welcome to the Life In Myrtle Beach blog where we hope to provide a wealth of information for you, whether you will be vacationing in Myrtle Beach, making this your second home location or moving to the area and becoming a "local" yourself. Feel free to ask any questions you have and if I don't know the answer...I'll find it for you!

Being a Realtor, I'll have plenty of Real Estate news to discuss, whether on the local, state or national level...I feel this is an important part of any person's decisionmaking process when considering a move or a purchase in any particular area of the country. However, since I don't want to bore you with just a bunch of facts, numbers and endless listings of properties for sale, I do hope you enjoy the "fun stuff" I'll share, too!

Be sure to leave your thoughts and comments at the bottom of my posts and feel free to sign up with your email in the left column for blog updates. If you have a Gmail account or Yahoo, please sign up to be a member! I look forward to getting to know you!

Reasons to buy a home now....whether you're a first time homebuyer or looking for your Retirement home!

This could be the best time in a generation to buy a home. Here’s why:
Housing affordability is the best it has been in decades.

Nationwide, average home prices are approximately one-third lower today than at their peak in 2006.

The cost to buy is very often less than the cost to rent a comparable property. In fact, buying is cheaper than renting in 98 out of America’s 100 major markets.

Interest rates are at an historic low, and today’s low rates can be locked in for the next 30 years.

The general economy appears to be improving, with employment increasing, median wages rising, and little indication of possible inflation.
Overall, conditions indicate today may be the perfect time to buy a home.
