Greater Savannah Area Real Estate Market Report: October 2025

A Balancing Act in Motion - What the Latest Numbers Really Mean

As fall settles over Savannah, the housing market across the coastal counties is taking a deep breath. After years of red-hot activity, October’s numbers reveal something we haven’t seen in a while - balance.

Inventory is up. Homes are staying on the market longer. Prices are holding steady or inching up. The frantic pace is gone, replaced by a more sustainable rhythm that gives both buyers and sellers a fair shot.

Let’s take a closer look at how the market is moving in Savannah, Chatham, Bryan, Effingham, and Liberty Counties, and what it means for you.

FAQ: Your Market Questions Answered

Q: Is the Savannah market cooling down?
Not exactly - it’s normalizing. After several years of intense seller activity, the market is balancing out. Prices remain solid, just without the frenzy.

Q: Should I wait to buy until next year?
Probably not. With more listings and fewer bidding wars, buyers now have time and negotiating power that could shift again if rates or demand change.

Q: Is it still a good time to sell?
Yes - especially if your home is in great condition and priced competitively. Buyers are still active, and the luxury segment remains strong.

Q: What does “months of inventory” mean?
It’s how long it would take to sell all current listings if no new homes came on the market. Four to five months typically means a balanced market.

Q: What’s the biggest takeaway for October?
Savannah and the coastal counties are entering a period of stability. Both sides - buyers and sellers - can win with the right game plan.
