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 Seller Concessions When Selling a Home in Myrtle Beach, SC?
If you're selling a home in Myrtle Beach, you may receive an offer that includes seller concessions. While many sellers focus on the purchase price, concessions can significantly impact how much money you actually take home at closing.
A seller concession is when the seller agrees to pay for certain buyer expenses as part of the transaction.
Understanding how concessions work helps sellers evaluate offers more accurately and negotiate with confidence.
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 proceeds and make informed decisions throughout the transaction.
What Are Seller Concessions?
Seller concessions are costs that the seller agrees to pay on behalf of the buyer.
These concessions are typically negotiated as part of the purchase agreement.
Common seller concessions include:
buyer closing costs
loan-related fees
prepaid taxes and insurance
repair credits
home warranty costs
The exact concessions depend on the contract and financing involved.
Learn how contracts are structured in our guide explaining what a purchase agreement means when selling a home in Myrtle Beach
Why Do Buyers Ask for Seller Concessions?
Many buyers request concessions to reduce the amount of cash they need at closing.
This is especially common when:
interest rates are higher
buyers want to preserve cash reserves
financing programs allow concessions
inspection issues arise
In some cases, offering concessions can help attract more buyers and keep transactions moving forward.
How Seller Concessions Affect Your Net Proceeds
One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is focusing only on the purchase price.
For example:
Offer A:
$500,000 purchase price
no concessions
Offer B:
$510,000 purchase price
$10,000 seller concession
In reality, both offers may produce nearly identical net proceeds.
This is why evaluating the entire contract matters.

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 bottom-line proceeds rather than headline sales prices.

Are Seller Concessions Common in Myrtle Beach?
Yes.
Seller concessions are a normal part of many transactions.
They are especially common when:
buyers are financing the purchase
inspections reveal repair concerns
properties have been on the market longer
market conditions favor buyers
Concessions often help keep deals together that might otherwise fall apart.
Seller Concessions vs Repair Credits
Many sellers confuse concessions with repair credits.
While they can be similar, they are not always the same.
Repair credits are often negotiated after inspections.
Seller concessions are usually negotiated as part of the overall contract structure.
Learn more in our guide explaining what repair requests mean when selling a home in Myrtle Beach
Because Brian Staub spent 17 years working as a home improvement contractor and new construction agent, he helps sellers determine when a repair may be worth completing and when a concession may be the smarter financial decision.
How Seller Concessions Affect Appraisals
Sometimes sellers increase the purchase price while agreeing to provide concessions.
However, the property must still support the agreed value through the appraisal process.
If the appraisal comes in low, negotiations may need to be revisited.
Learn how valuations affect transactions in our article explaining what appraised value means when selling a home in Myrtle Beach
When Should Sellers Consider Offering Concessions?
Seller concessions may make sense when:
competing for a smaller buyer pool
helping buyers qualify for financing
resolving inspection concerns
preventing contract cancellations
improving marketability
Every situation is different.
The key is understanding how concessions affect your overall financial outcome.
As one of the top-producing teams in the Myrtle Beach and Grand Strand market, Beach Properties Group helps sellers evaluate concession requests within the context of local market conditions and competing offers.
If you would like help evaluating whether a concession request makes sense for your situation, you can schedule a time here:
https://booking.beachpropertiesgroup.com/seller
Can Seller Concessions Help Generate Multiple Offers?
Sometimes.
A well-structured listing that offers flexibility may attract more qualified buyers.
However, concessions should be considered as part of the overall negotiation strategy, not simply offered upfront without analysis.

Real Example: Seller Concessions in Myrtle Beach
Imagine a buyer submits a $450,000 offer but requests $7,500 toward closing costs.
Instead of rejecting the request, the seller evaluates the entire transaction.
After reviewing projected proceeds, the seller determines the concession still produces a favorable outcome and accepts the offer.
The transaction closes successfully.
Working with a top-producing local team like Beach Properties Group helps sellers understand the financial impact of concessions before making a decision.
Common Seller Concession Mistakes
Focusing only on purchase price
Net proceeds matter more than the headline number.
Automatically rejecting concession requests
Some concessions can help preserve a strong contract.
Failing to review financing guidelines
Certain loan programs limit concession amounts.
Waiting until late in negotiations
Early evaluation creates better decision-making.
How Sellers Can Evaluate Concession Requests
Before agreeing to concessions, sellers should review:
projected net proceeds
local market conditions
competing offers
inspection concerns
appraisal risks
Understanding the complete financial picture leads to better decisions.
