Wondering what it's like to buy a home in Oak Hampton in Murrells Inlet? I'm Merrill Bryan, a lifelong Murrells Inlet local and Realtor.

Recent Buyer-Side Closing: 414 Waties Drive
Closed April 17, 2026 | Sale price: $399,000 | 3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | Approximately 1,460 square feet.
I had the pleasure of representing the buyers of 414 Waties Drive. The home, built in 2017, is a single-level residence in Oak Hampton Phase II. This transaction is a good example of why it's worth considering the specific home and neighborhood fit, not just filtering listings by price.
Every buyer's priorities are different. My role is to help clients compare their options, understand the local market, evaluate property-specific considerations and move through the purchase process with clear communication. This was a buyer-representation transaction; I did not represent the seller or list this property.
Publicly reported sale information: Coastal Carolinas MLS #2604252. The home is sold and is not being advertised as available.
What Should Buyers Know About Oak Hampton?
Home styles and layouts
Oak Hampton includes detached homes with a variety of layouts and features. If single-level living, a garage, a fenced yard or outdoor entertaining space matters to you, compare individual properties rather than assuming every home has the same features.
HOA dues and restrictions
Oak Hampton has an HOA. Confirm current dues, architectural guidelines, parking rules, rental policies and what services are included directly from the association's current documents before purchasing. Fees reported for a past sale may not reflect today's charges.
Location and everyday convenience
Consider the routes you'll use most often, from grocery shopping and appointments to the beach or the creek. Visiting the neighborhood at different times can tell you more than photos alone.
Ownership costs
Along with the mortgage payment, evaluate taxes, insurance, maintenance, association dues and any property-specific flood considerations. Ask for quotes based on the exact home.
What Can a Recent Sale Tell You About Oak Hampton Home Values?
The $399,000 closing at 414 Waties Drive is one real transaction, not a valuation for every Oak Hampton property. Price depends on square footage, condition, upgrades, lot features and the comparable sales available at the time. If you're considering selling, I can prepare a property-specific market analysis rather than relying on one neighborhood average.

Even when no homes are actively listed, recent closed sales can help owners and buyers understand the market. Contact me for an up-to-date review of comparable Oak Hampton sales, including differences in size, condition, lot and features.
Merrill's Local Take
One of the things I enjoy about helping buyers in Murrells Inlet is figuring out which neighborhood feels right for their actual day-to-day life. A house can check every box on paper, but I want my buyers to feel confident about the location, layout and ownership details, too. Having helped a buyer close in Oak Hampton, I'm happy to talk through the neighborhood and how it compares with other Prince Creek options.
