Savannah Lakes Village Market Report – February 2026
February gives us a clearer read on early-year momentum. This report focuses on how 2026 is shaping up year-to-date through February 28, 2026, with comparisons to the same point last year: homes sold, new construction permits, inventory levels, and days on market.
The headline story this month: inventory expanded and days on market stayed elevated, which continues to reward sellers who price correctly and present well. Meanwhile, sales year-to-date are slightly ahead of last year, but permit activity remains meaningfully lower on a YTD basis.

Homes Sold: Monthly Trend (Last 10 Months)
Closings typically run seasonal in Savannah Lakes Village, with activity often peaking in spring and early summer, then easing through late fall and winter. The chart below shows the monthly closing pattern from May 2025 through February 2026.
New Construction: Permits Trend (Last 10 Months)
February permits came in stronger for the month, but the year-to-date comparison still shows fewer permits than last year. The chart below tracks permitting from May 2025 through February 2026.
Inventory: Homes on the Market and the Trend
Inventory rose to 85 homes for sale in February, up from 74 in January. More options can be a positive for buyers, but it also means sellers need to be sharper about pricing, condition, and presentation.
Current inventory mix:
- 26 lake homes
- 14 golf-course homes
- 45 interior homes
Days on Market: What We’re Seeing Early in 2026
Days on market remained elevated, with February averaging 209 days (up slightly from 206 in January). This is consistent with a more selective buyer pool—especially when pricing, updates, and condition don’t align with expectations.
What This Means for You in Early 2026
Thinking about selling?
With inventory higher and days on market still long, prep work matters. If you’re targeting a spring listing, February is a smart time to get ahead with a clear plan:
- Start with recent closed sales as the pricing anchor.
- Make the “small updates” buyers notice: paint, lighting, decluttering, curb appeal.
- Present the lifestyle clearly (golf, lake access, trails, community amenities).
Thinking about buying?
If you’re considering a move to Savannah Lakes Village, early-year shopping can be a strong strategy:
- You often get more attention from sellers and listing agents than peak season.
- Inventory is broad enough to compare lake, golf, and interior options.
- Longer-listed homes may offer room for reasonable negotiation (especially if condition and price need to meet in the middle).
