The May Savannah Lakes Village market report is live.

A few numbers stood out this month:

• 6 homes closed in May
• 34 homes sold year-to-date (ahead of last year)
• Inventory increased to 96 homes
• 19 homes are currently pending
• Average days on market improved from 216 to 161

The most encouraging trend?

Even with more homes available, homes are selling faster than they were just a month ago.

Buyers remain active, but they're being selective. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes continue to attract the strongest interest.

At the same time, new construction permits remain well below last year's pace, suggesting many buyers are finding value in existing homes rather than building.

If you're thinking about buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on the market, the full May report provides a clear picture of what's happening right now in Savannah Lakes Village.

Last night, Joe and I had the privilege of attending our monthly meeting with the McCormick Area Veterans Association (MAVA). Our guest speakers were from Tranquility Point - a truly incredible organization dedicated to Veteran su***de prevention and supporting Veterans suffering from PTSD.

In addition to serving Veterans, Tranquility Point also supports first responders and foster families, having already served more than 800 families since 2022. They provide a free place of respite focused on healing through therapeutic recreational activities that encourage physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Their mission, compassion, and commitment to helping others deeply touched us and reminded us how important it is to support those carrying heavy burdens - often quietly and behind the scenes. 🇺🇸

If you are looking for a meaningful place to volunteer, support, or donate to, please keep Tranquility Point and this incredible cause - one that is very near and dear to my heart - in mind. Every act of kindness, support, and awareness truly makes a difference. ❤️

Join Tranquility Point in our mission to prevent veteran su***de and provide support for those suffering from PTSD.
