    Moving to Savannah in 2016 for work was the best decisions I ever made. I fell in love with the city, the great people here, and the work opportunities (covid withstanding) were life changing. It does get a little warm in the summer but I don't mind it. The only downside I can think of is the pesky sand gnats! Ha. Thank you for a great video Karin!

    I just moved to Savannah last week from Duluth, MN. Trust me, the brutal winters and fearing for my life while driving will NOT be missed! Although, since I am a transplant the humidity right now is awful and keeping me from going outdoors too much, however I do plan to spend the "cooler" months doing a lot more exploring! 💖😎

      Right?!?! I learned to drive in the snow in Michigan. I spent more time in ditches than I did on the road, I swear. Yeah, the humidity right now is killing us but hopefully in another six weeks it'll be better.

    The market here in Savannah is very unpleasant for buyers right now. Demand far outweighs supply and most decent homes in the lower price ranges go under contract instantly, often with multiple offers. I’ve been looking for six months and still have not found “my place”. 🥵
    I’m looking in the midtown/east side areas, so maybe it’s easier out in the suburbs. I do love it here in Savannah. Best wishes to everyone.

    • @georgiacoasthomes
      @georgiacoasthomes  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It really depends on your price range. In the first time buyer price range yes, it's pretty competitive. And yep, you're looking in a pretty hot area. Patience is a virtue! And is there anything you bring to teh table that's really strong besides price?

      @StarlightPrincess70 fall is a wonderful time because the temperature is much nicer than July, and August, which are truly hot. The only downside is that is tropical storm/hurricane season. If you go after Halloween, you’ll probably be in the clear. Today it’s in the 60s but next week it’s supposed to be down in the 20s and 30s. It’s going to be cold! January and February are usually the coldest months, July and August are usually the hardest. The rest are lovely, temperature wise. Have fun!
