Most homes in SLV are single-family residences on generous lots, with a mix of lakefront, golf-course, and interior locations. You will find a range of styles, from cozy cottages to larger custom homes, so it is important to match your home search to how you plan to live here.

Common Home Categories

  • Lake-Access / Interior Homes – Wooded settings with nearby community docks, walking trails, and parks.

Our team can help you understand which home types fit your budget, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.

What Do Homes Cost in Savannah Lakes Village?

Home prices in SLV vary based on location (lakefront, golf, interior), size, age, and updates. Lakefront homes and premium view properties typically sell at higher price points, while interior and golf-course homes can offer great value for buyers seeking an active, amenity-rich lifestyle.

Instead of quoting numbers that quickly go out of date, we maintain a monthly market report that shows current inventory, sold prices, and trends so you always see real-time information.

Key Market Factors

  • Inventory levels by price range and location.
  • Average days on market for homes similar to yours.
  • Seasonal patterns – some buyers prefer cooler months to tour.
  • The impact of correct pricing versus overpricing in a niche community.

We use real numbers, not guesses, to help you decide when to buy, what to offer, or how to price your home.

Understanding the Cost of Ownership in SLV

When you evaluate a move to Savannah Lakes Village, it is important to look beyond the purchase price and understand the ongoing costs of living here – many of which are very favorable compared to larger metro or resort markets.

Common Cost Components

  • POA / HOA dues that support common areas, amenities, and operations.
  • Club-related fees for golf and other premium amenities, depending on how you use them.
  • Property taxes that are often attractive for many relocating buyers.
  • Utilities and services such as power, water, internet, and yard care.

We help our clients build a realistic monthly and annual picture so there are no surprises after closing.
