Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Grand Strand

🏆 Litchfield Beach has the highest share of $1M+ homes in South Carolina — 18.4% — according to ALEX Intelligence’s 2026 data report. This is not a seasonal trend, but a structural shift: Litchfield Beach has become the Grand Strand’s permanent elite enclave. How does this affect investment in neighboring towns like Myrtle Beach or Little River? What happens when exclusivity becomes the primary driver of value? The data reveals a market bifurcated by wealth concentration, where stability is no longer tied to tourism but to permanent residency. This is not speculation — it’s ranked data.
