Lot sales are still on the upswing. Interior lots are selling more than anything else, however we are also seeing some waterfront and golf lots selling as well. As we have been predicting, our resale home inventory is shrinking and people are starting to look at lots to build on. There have been 34 new home starts this year, 10 of those are Ivey and Key Stone builders.

The overall sales figures for 2019 are telling us that Savannah Lakes Village is on track to set another record breaking year in real estate. Last year was the best year we’ve had in over 10 years, and this year may turn out to be 20-30% better if current trends continue.
