In Arizona, I pay $ 650 a year for home owner’s insurance, got a quote for a possible home in Summerville for 1,450.00. Car tax, my car in Arizona, $350, SC, Same car will be $760. Your electrical costs per KWH is higher too.
I’ve been searching for the past few years in the Myrtle Beach/Conway area, and the one big thing you cannot get in South Carolina is a home one a little bit of property. Being retired, I just don’t want to be 10 feet from neighbors. I’m looking for peace and quiet, but still nearby to entertainment, restaurants, libraries, shopping. Houses with 1/2 acre and up just don’t seem to exist.
You should check around Loris or Green Sea for bigger lots. Those are about 35 +/- minutes from the beaches and Hwy 9 is a straight shot. You have broaden your search a little more. You won’t find a decent lot near anything in Myrtle Beach at a good price right now. They’re building houses on top of houses. That’s how all of these coastal areas are getting, the cities anyway..
State sales tax is 6% and where I live in York County they add another 1%. It is not 9%. I never paid any attention to any extra taxes when eating out.
Hey Bill , great video . I’m looking into moving to SC from Pa in the future as we been visiting for many years for my girls Cheer Nationals . I have some family in the state and I’m looking into Greenville . Thank you so much for the info!
The additional sales tax rate on food consumed on premises is determined by each county. Its not a blanket 11% rate across SC. Its lower here in York Cty.
My old office didn’t have any windows. My new on has more natural light. I’ve upgraded for future videos to new lights too. In regards to a ring light, since I wear glasses you would see a terrible reflection of the ring light.
Can you name some small towns that are little slower pace than Charleston. We are wanting to move near our son in Summerville, but don't want to pay an arm and leg for a home. Looking for a home not in a subdivision with HOA fees. Ranch with garage. Any suggestions where to start?
Look into the Dorchester, Lebanon, St. George, Ridgeville & Monks Corner areas. Some of the nicest homes you’ll find on the roads leading to and in between these areas which are somewhat rural.
Property taxes are reasonable on your personal residence, unless you have another home here in South Carolina or another state. Then you pay thousands more. When my Dad died, the tax on his residence was $600 per year. It jumped to $5,000 and no one was living there. Also property tax on vehicles can be in the thousands too. SC property tax laws are ridiculous.
@@JillKirchnerseems many affordable states are very red! I am no liberal but even as a moderate Republican, not sure I will fit in when making friends.
So let’s say you’re interested in the beaches and dirt bike trails. Is Francis Marion NF anywhere near the beach? Are there any other dirt bike trails near the beach?
