Savannah Lakes Village Market Report – May 2026

May continued the spring market momentum in Savannah Lakes Village, with 6 homes closed and year-to-date sales moving ahead of last year’s pace. Inventory increased to 96 homes for sale, giving buyers more choices while also creating more competition for sellers.

The clearest split in the May numbers is between resale momentum and new construction softness. Home sales are running ahead of last year year-to-date, while new home permits remain well below last year’s level.

Inventory: More Selection for Buyers

Current inventory mix:

  • 24 lake homes

More inventory does not mean less demand. It does mean buyers can compare more carefully. Homes that are clean, updated, priced clearly, and easy to understand online are still in the strongest position.

What This Means for You This Summer

Thinking about selling?

May’s numbers are encouraging because year-to-date sales are ahead of last year and days on market improved. But with inventory increasing, sellers should avoid assuming that demand alone will carry the listing.

  • Price against current competition, not just past expectations
  • Make sure photos, curb appeal, and online presentation are strong
  • Highlight the lifestyle clearly: lake, golf, trails, clubs, and community
One practical opportunity right now: contractor availability has improved compared to the peak building years. With new construction permits still running behind last year, many homeowners are finding it easier to schedule painting, flooring, landscaping, repairs, and other cosmetic updates before listing. In today’s market, those improvements can help a home stand out.

Thinking about buying?

Buyers have more meaningful choice as inventory rises. With 96 homes for sale and days on market still elevated, buyers can compare carefully, but well-positioned homes are still attracting attention.

  • Compare lake, golf, and interior homes by value, not just list price
  • Watch homes that have been listed longer for possible opportunity
  • Be ready to act when the right home is priced well
