Here is a note about pricing for Myrtle
Beach luxury golf homes. Houses on the left side of
the fairway often cost more than those on the right side
because the most common error among golfers is slicing the
ball to the right of the desired target. Pricing
is usually lower for homes near the 150 yard marker at
each hole because that is where most drives land, and
homes near the putting green cost 10% to 15% more than
homes near the tee boxes because of noise and errant
balls. |

Property taxes are 4%-6% of a property's appraised market
value. Homeowners age 65 and older and who have lived in
Myrtle Beach at least one year are eligible for a $20,000
homestead exemption. |
