What's My Home Worth in Savannah, GA? July 2025 Market Update

If you're a homeowner in Savannah, there's a good chance you've asked yourself this lately: What is my home worth right now? With the real estate market continuing to shift and new listings popping up daily, understanding your home's current value is one of the most important steps before selling.

Unlike automated platforms that give you a generic estimate, this local market update is based on real numbers, neighborhood trends, and expert insight into what buyers are actually paying for homes in Savannah, Georgia.

July 2025 Savannah Housing Market Snapshot

As of July 2025, the real estate market in Savannah remains active, especially for well-maintained homes under $600,000. Here's a quick breakdown of the latest trends:

• Median sale price in Savannah: $370,000

• Average days on market: 48 to 55 days

• Buyer demand: Strong under $400,000, moderate for homes priced $600,000 and above

• Inventory level: Low to moderate, creating opportunity for well-positioned sellers

These averages are helpful, but the true value of your home depends on its specific location, condition, updates, and how it is marketed.

Why Zillow and Other Online Estimates Fall Short

Sites like Zillow, Redfin, and HomeLight use computer algorithms to guess your home’s value. They don’t know if you just renovated your kitchen, added a screened-in porch, or upgraded your HVAC system. They also don’t know how your home compares to others on your street, what common incentives are being offered in your area or whether your neighborhood is in high demand this season.

As local agents who specialize in the Greater Savannah & Lowcountry areas, we walk your property, study neighborhood comps, and price strategically to attract the best buyers without leaving money on the table.

If you're serious about getting an accurate picture of what your home could sell for in today’s market, we offer a personalized home valuation with no obligation.

What Sells in Savannah Right Now?

Savannah’s market is highly local to the area your home is in. The one common denominator?  Buyers are looking for move-in ready!  There is a lot more inventory on the market currently than has been in the last 5+ years.  With so many choices, they no longer need to settle.  "If it's compelling, it's still selling!"

Here’s how things are performing by area:

• Ardsley Park continues to see strong sales for updated bungalows and historic homes

• The Landings draws luxury buyers looking for move-in-ready homes with outdoor space or golf course views  

• Southside Savannah and Georgetown remain hot spots for first-time buyers and military relocations in lower price ranges

• Pooler, Bloomingdale, Richmond Hill and Effingham County are all still growing fast, especially near schools and new construction.  Speaking of that new construction: builders are our sellers biggest competition in any area with new construction right now.  Especially the big national builders!  Builders are not quick to cut their prices but they are quick to buy all appliances, blinds, pay all closing costs and even but interest rates down for buyers who may be deciding between new construction and a resale home in areas where the two compete.

• Downtown/Historic Savannah & Tybee Island values fluctuate based on location, parking, and whether short-term rentals are allowed.  The ability to get a short-term rental certificate greatly increases buyer demand in both of these areas.

Each of these areas has its own pricing patterns and buyer demand. That’s why relying on a citywide average is never enough. We price your home based on real-time neighborhood data and experience.

Is Now a Good Time to Sell?

For many homeowners in Savannah, the answer is yes—and here’s why.

While the national media might focus on interest rates and inflation, real estate is local. And in Savannah, buyer demand has remained strong, especially in neighborhoods like Ardsley Park, Richmond Hill, and The Landings. Inventory is still tight in many areas, and well-priced homes that are properly prepared are still selling—often within the first days or weeks (just don't overprice it or it will sit).

Let’s Put Today’s Market in Perspective

Homeowners who bought between 2012 and 2021 are sitting on record-high equity. Home values in many parts of Chatham County have increased by 40 to 60 (even 100 percent) over the past decade. Even with the market stabilizing, prices remain historically high. If you’ve owned your home for several years, there’s a good chance you’ve built enough equity to:

• Move into a home that better fits your needs

• Downsize and pocket the difference

• Pay off high-interest debt

• Relocate with financial flexibility

In 2008, when I was a new agent,  sellers had to fight just to break even. In 2025, most Savannah homeowners are positioned to sell with a profit—not just a break-even outcome.

Timing Isn’t Just About the Market—It’s About Your Life

Markets will always rise and fall. But selling a home is rarely just about interest rates or trends. It’s about what’s happening in your life:

• Are you retiring soon?

• Is your home too big now that the kids have moved out?

• Have your needs changed with a new job or blended family?

• Do you want to relocate to be closer to grandchildren, work, or medical care?

Waiting for “perfect timing” on the market often leads to missed opportunities in your personal timeline. What’s perfect is when your lifestyle, your finances, and the market all align. And right now, they’re aligned for many Savannah-area homeowners.

Summer is Still Prime Selling Season

July through September remains "one of" the busiest times for home sales in Georgia & South Carolina. Buyers are actively relocating, families want to settle in before the new school year, and out-of-state buyers continue moving to the Southeast for lifestyle and affordability.

When you list now, you benefit from:

• Longer daylight hours for showings

• Motivated buyers with summer moving timelines

• Less competition if other sellers are “waiting to see what happens”

Not Ready to List Yet? You Still Have Options

If you're not ready to put a sign in the yard or commit to a move date, that’s completely fine. Selling your home doesn’t have to be all or nothing. In fact, many of our clients start the process quietly with low-pressure options that give them time, flexibility, and control.

Make Me Sell Price

This option is perfect if you're thinking about selling but only for the right price.

We help you determine a "Make Me Sell" price—your dream number. If a qualified buyer comes along who's willing to pay it, you have the opportunity to sell without listing your home on the open market.

Benefits:

• No need to prep or stage right away

• No public showings or open houses

• Complete control over whether you accept an offer or not

Most Common Questions:

Q: Will my home be posted online?
A: No, it won’t appear on Zillow or MLS. It stays private, shared only with serious, pre-qualified buyers in our network.

Q: Do I have to sell if someone makes an offer?
A: Absolutely not. You’re in control. We only bring you offers that meet your target price and terms.

Private Exclusives

If you want to quietly test the market, Private Exclusives through Compass is a great option. Your home is marketed discreetly to a select group of motivated buyers through our national Compass network—without triggering days on market or public exposure.

Why Sellers Love It:

• Total privacy during the process

• Less stress and disruption at home

• Ideal for high-end, renovated, or unique properties

You can test demand before going fully public, or find the right buyer without ever listing on the MLS.
