Let me just say it straight. Blackmoor doesn’t need a hard sell. It never has. It’s one of those neighborhoods that does the talking on its own — mature trees, a Gary Player-designed golf course, 60 miles of South Carolina coastline sitting 15 minutes away — and a price point that still makes sense when you run the actual numbers.

This report is built on real data from the Coastal Carolinas MLS, pulled fresh for February 2026. No opinions dressed up as facts. Just the market, laid out plainly, so you can make a smart decision — whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping tabs.

This Is Still a Seller’s Market — Just a Calmer One

January 2026 data puts Murrells Inlet 29576 firmly in seller’s market territory. Inventory sits at 4.2 months — up 2.78% month over month, which tells you more homes are coming online — but we’re still well below the 6-month threshold that would tip this into balanced territory. Sellers have the edge. They just can’t pretend it’s 2021 anymore.

The median sold price landed at $400,000 in the most recent period, up 4.73% month over month. That’s not a typo. Prices are still moving up. The market slowed its pace — it didn’t reverse.

That -6.1% drop in list price year over year is the number sellers need to pay attention to. What it means is simple: sellers who were swinging for the fences with aggressive list prices in 2024 have started coming back down to earth. And the market is rewarding those who price correctly — 97% sold-to-list is solid, full stop.

The Sweet Spot Is Under $300K — But the Real Volume Is $400K–$550K

Here’s what the comps from the last 90 days actually look like. The biggest single cluster of sold homes — 33 transactions — happened under $300K. That’s the condo and entry-level end of the market. Active, liquid, and moving fast.

But look at the $400K–$650K range — that’s where 28 homes sold. That’s your primary Blackmoor Golf Club sweet spot. Single-family homes on or near the course, 3–4 bedrooms, living room with a golf view out the back window. That price band is performing well.

Price Range of Comps Sold — Last 90 Days

What’s Selling by Size

The most popular size band sold in the last 90 days was 2,400–2,600 sq ft — 27 transactions. That’s your classic 3-bed, 2-bath Blackmoor footprint. Comfortable, practical, not oversized. Right behind it was 1,400–1,600 sq ft — 14 sales — which is your condo and villa range.

3-Bedroom Homes Are Running the Show

Out of all the homes that closed in the last 90 days, 48 of them were 3-bedroom homes. That’s by far the dominant category. Four-bedrooms came in second at 21 sales. What this tells you is that Blackmoor is attracting couples, downsizers, retirees, and second-home buyers — not large families needing five bedrooms. Right-sized living in a high-quality community.

Bedroom Breakdown — Sold Homes

The home age breakdown is also worth noting. The largest cluster of sold homes — 43 transactions — fell in the 20-to-30-year age range. That’s your core Blackmoor single-family inventory. Well-built, established, and — for buyers paying attention — often more square footage per dollar than newer construction on the market right now.

How Blackmoor Stacks Up Against Horry County and the State

Here’s the comparison that most agents skip over — and it’s honestly one of the most useful things in this entire report. When you put zip code 29576 next to Horry County and South Carolina as a whole, one thing stands out immediately: Murrells Inlet commands a significant premium, and that premium has held.

That 86% homeownership rate in 29576 is a big deal. The national average is 65%. Horry County sits at 76%. Murrells Inlet is owner-occupied country. That matters for neighborhood stability, long-term values, and quality of life. When 86 out of 100 of your neighbors own their home, they’re invested — literally and personally — in keeping the community strong.

113 Days of Full Sun a Year. No Superfund Sites. 23-Minute Commute.

This is where Blackmoor stops being just a real estate play and starts being a lifestyle decision. Because the numbers here make a strong case all on their own.

How People Get to Work

This one is worth a look — 11,400 people in this area drive or carpool to work. Public transit barely registers at 17. Walking is 10. This is a car-centric community — which matters when you’re thinking about a second car, parking, or remote work flexibility.

The commute breakdown tells a story about who actually lives here. 38.7% of residents commute 15–30 minutes — the sweet spot — and another 34.4% are under 15 minutes. That’s over 70% of residents getting to work in under half an hour. For a coastal community, that’s genuinely impressive accessibility.

Commute Time Distribution

$70K Median Household Income. 5% Unemployment. Here’s What That Means for You.

Blackmoor’s 29576 zip code pulls a median household income of $70,040 — significantly ahead of Horry County’s $64,623 and well above the SC state median of $66,818. This matters for two reasons: it tells you the economic profile of your future neighbors, and it tells you something about long-term demand for homes at this price point.

Horry County’s 5% unemployment is slightly above state and national averages — something to be aware of. This is a tourism-driven economy, which means seasonal fluctuation is real. But for Blackmoor specifically, you’re buying into a retirement and second-home market where employment data matters less than it would in a primary workforce community.

So — Should You Buy, Sell, or Hold in Blackmoor Right Now?

If you’re a buyer: The list prices have come down 6.1% year over year. That means sellers have recalibrated. You’re not walking into 2021’s market where every home had five offers by Tuesday. You have time to be thoughtful. But don’t sleep on it — inventory at 4.2 months and a 97% sold-to-list ratio means quality homes are still moving. The sweet spot right now is the 3-bedroom, 2,400–2,600 sq ft range in the $399K–$450K window. That’s where the data concentrates and where you get the most value.

If you’re a seller: Price it right the first time. The market will tell you immediately whether you’re in the zone — and with 49 median days on market, you don’t have a long runway to test and adjust. Sellers getting 97% of their list price are the ones who came in correctly priced. The ones watching their listing go stale are the ones who didn’t.

If you’re an investor: The under-$300K condo end of this market is active and liquid. Short-term rental demand in Murrells Inlet is real — between the Marshwalk, the golf course, and beach access 15 minutes away, you have genuine draw. The numbers pencil out better here than in oceanfront condos where the purchase price is twice as high.

That’s the honest picture of Blackmoor Golf Club in February 2026. A community that earns its reputation every single month — not because of the marketing, but because of the numbers behind it.
