Homes Sold: September Closings Slow
September brought 4 home closings, down from 7 in August and 16 in July. Year-to-date sales reached 76, keeping activity ahead of the tracking sheet’s prior-year pace. Pending contracts rose from 9 to 14, an encouraging pipeline indicator, although pending sales are not completed closings.
New Construction: Still Well Below Last Year
The September data sheet records 7 new home permits, compared with 11 in August. Year-to-date permits reached 50, versus 94 in the prior-year comparison, a decline of 46.8%. Buyers considering resale and new construction should compare the total cost, completion timeline, and available home features.
Inventory: More Choice Heading into Fall
Inventory increased to 98 homes for sale in September from 95 in August and 91 in July. That is also above the 78 homes listed in September 2025, giving buyers more properties to compare.
Current inventory mix:
• 26 lake homes
• 25 golf-course homes
• 47 interior homes
More inventory gives buyers room to compare condition, location, and price. For sellers, September’s slower closing pace makes a clear value proposition especially important: a home needs to stand out among today’s competing listings.
Days on Market: Still a Selective Market
Average days on market declined to 148 in September from 172 in August. That is also below the 161 days recorded in September 2025. This measure describes current inventory; it should not be read as the time every home takes to sell or as proof that all listings are selling faster.
What This Means for You This Fall
Thinking about selling?
Year-to-date sales remain ahead of the tracking sheet’s prior-year pace, but September’s 4 closings and 98 available homes point to a competitive listing environment. Sellers should focus on the details they can control.
• Price against today’s active competition, not just older sales
• Make condition, photography, and online presentation easy for buyers to understand
• Emphasize the lifestyle advantages that matter in Savannah Lakes Village: lake access, golf, trails, clubs, and community
With new construction permits still below the prior-year comparison, it may be worthwhile to ask local contractors about availability for painting, flooring, landscaping, and repairs. Obtain current estimates and schedules before planning improvements.
Thinking about buying?
Buyers have meaningful choice with 98 homes on the market. Pending contracts increased to 14, so it remains sensible to prepare ahead and act when a home fits your needs and offers sound value.
• Compare lake, golf, and interior homes by overall value, not list price alone
• Look closely at longer-market listings for possible opportunity
• Be prepared to act when the right home is priced and presented well
