Savannah Lakes Village Market Report – January 2026
January is when we get our first clear read on the new year. This report summarizes Savannah Lakes Village market activity through January 31, 2026, and it also references the year-end 2025 baseline so you can see what is changing—and what is simply seasonal.
The early theme for 2026 is selective momentum. Closings improved versus last January, inventory remains healthy, and buyers are active—but they are making decisions more carefully. Homes that feel move-in ready and are priced close to recent closed sales are still the ones that win the attention first.
Year-End Snapshot: 2025 vs 2024
Before we zoom in on January, it helps to keep the year-end baseline in view. Total closings finished modestly lower in 2025, and new construction permits saw the larger decline year-over-year.
| Metric | 2024 (Year-End) | 2025 (Year-End) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Homes Sold | 83 | 75 | -8 (-9.6%) |
| Total New Home Permits | 117 | 90 | -27 (-23.1%) |

Homes Sold: Monthly Trend into January
Closings tend to be seasonal in Savannah Lakes Village, with stronger activity in spring and early summer. The chart below shows the monthly pattern from May through January.
New Construction: Permits Trend into January
New construction is where we see the sharpest contrast right now. January started with 3 permits versus 10 the same time last year. This matters because permit volume today tends to shape resale competition and buyer options later in the year.
Inventory: Homes on the Market and the Trend
Inventory moved slightly higher to 74 homes for sale at the end of January (up from 72 at the end of December). That is consistent with a market where sellers are preparing for spring, and where buyers still have choices across categories.
Current inventory mix (January):
- 19 lake homes
- 13 golf-course homes
- 42 interior homes
Days on Market: What We Are Seeing
Average days on market held at 206 in January, matching December. The story behind this number is buyer selectivity: properly positioned homes still move, but homes that feel “overpriced for condition” tend to linger.
What This Means for You in Early 2026
Thinking about selling?
With longer days on market, your prep work matters. If you’re targeting a spring listing, February is the time to get ahead of the market 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 smart strategy:
- You often get more attention from sellers and listing agents than peak season.
- Inventory is healthy enough to compare lake, golf, and interior options side-by-side.
- Homes that have been listed longer may offer room for reasonable negotiation, especially if condition or pricing needs alignment.
