What This Means for Plantation Lakes Homeowners
Over the past 30 days, only 3 homes sold in Plantation Lakes while 11 homes remain active and 6 are currently pending, indicating buyer activity has increased even as inventory levels have remained relatively steady.
The average sales price came in at approximately $800,000, with homes averaging around 76 days on market before selling. While buyers are still making purchases, they appear to be taking more time to evaluate options and negotiate favorable terms.
The average sold price of $258.93 per square foot provides a strong benchmark for current home values within Plantation Lakes and highlights the importance of accurate pricing in today's market.
Compared to the previous month, active inventory remained unchanged at 11 homes, while pending sales increased from 4 to 6 homes, suggesting more buyers are entering the market. However, average days on market increased from 40 days to 76 days, and average price per square foot declined from $279.25 to $258.93, indicating buyers may be gaining additional negotiating leverage.
Overall, Plantation Lakes remains a more balanced market than the aggressive seller's market seen in previous years. Homes that are priced correctly, presented well, and marketed effectively continue to have the best opportunity to attract serious buyers and achieve strong results.

What Are Net Proceeds When Selling a Home in Myrtle Beach, SC?
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when selling a home is focusing only on the sale price.
What ultimately matters is not how much your home sells for. What matters is how much money you actually take home after all expenses are paid.
This amount is called your net proceeds.
Net proceeds are the money remaining after all selling expenses, mortgage payoffs, commissions, taxes, and closing costs have been deducted from the sale price.
Understanding net proceeds before listing your home can help you make smarter pricing and negotiation decisions.
Brian Staub is a real estate agent in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina helping homeowners sell with clarity and confidence. As part of Beach Properties Group, one of the top-producing real estate teams in the Grand Strand based on both sales volume and homes sold, Brian brings more than 20 years of experience in the Myrtle Beach market and 17 years of experience as a home improvement contractor and new construction agent to help sellers maximize their bottom-line results.
What Are Net Proceeds in Real Estate?
Net proceeds are the amount of money a seller receives after all transaction expenses have been paid.
Many sellers assume the sale price equals what they will receive.
In reality, several expenses are deducted before funds are distributed.
These may include:
mortgage payoff
real estate commissions
attorney fees
seller concessions
prorated taxes
HOA fees
recording fees
title-related expenses
The remaining amount becomes your net proceeds.
Why Net Proceeds Matter More Than Sale Price
Two offers can have different purchase prices but produce nearly identical net proceeds.
For example:
Offer A:
$500,000 purchase price
no concessions
Offer B:
$510,000 purchase price
$10,000 seller concession
In many situations, both offers may leave the seller with nearly the same amount of money.
This is why experienced sellers evaluate the entire contract, not just the highest price.
Learn how concessions affect proceeds in our article explaining what seller concessions mean when selling a home in Myrtle Beach.
With more than 20 years helping sellers throughout Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand, Brian Staub and Beach Properties Group help homeowners analyze offers based on actual financial outcomes rather than headline numbers.

What Expenses Reduce Net Proceeds?
Several expenses are commonly deducted before sellers receive their proceeds.
Mortgage Payoff
Any remaining mortgage balance must be paid in full at closing.
For many homeowners, this is the largest deduction.
Real Estate Commissions
Commissions are often one of the largest transaction expenses.
These fees compensate the professionals involved in marketing, negotiating, and managing the sale.
Seller Closing Costs
Additional closing expenses may include:
attorney fees
taxes
HOA transfer fees
recording costs
Learn more in our guide explaining seller closing costs when selling a home in Myrtle Beach.
Seller Concessions
Any concessions negotiated with the buyer reduce final proceeds.
Learn how they work in our article explaining what seller concessions mean when selling a home in Myrtle Beach.
How Pricing Strategy Affects Net Proceeds
Many sellers assume listing higher automatically leads to more money.
That is not always true.
Overpricing can sometimes result in:
longer market times
price reductions
weaker negotiations
increased concession requests
Strategic pricing often creates stronger buyer competition.
Learn how pricing works in our article explaining what listing price means when selling a home in Myrtle Beach.
As one of the highest-producing teams in the Myrtle Beach and Grand Strand market, Beach Properties Group helps sellers focus on maximizing net proceeds rather than simply chasing the highest list price.
How Repairs and Inspections Affect Net Proceeds
Inspection negotiations can directly impact your bottom line.
Repair requests may lead to:
repair expenses
repair credits
seller concessions
renegotiated pricing
Because Brian Staub spent 17 years as a home improvement contractor and new construction agent, he helps sellers determine which repairs add value and which requests may be negotiated more effectively through credits or concessions.

How Can Sellers Estimate Net Proceeds Before Listing?
The best way to estimate proceeds is through a seller net sheet.
A seller net sheet estimates:
expected sale price
mortgage payoff
commissions
closing costs
concessions
estimated cash at closing
This helps sellers plan for their next move before listing.
Real Example: Net Proceeds in Myrtle Beach
Imagine a seller accepts an offer of $600,000.
Before receiving proceeds, the following are deducted:
mortgage payoff
commissions
seller concessions
attorney fees
taxes
HOA fees
The seller receives the remaining balance as their net proceeds.
This is why understanding the numbers before listing is so important.
Working with a top-producing local team like Beach Properties Group helps sellers understand these numbers long before closing day arrives.
