Workable 95/100

Savannah is a mid-tier wholesale market right now — disciplined operators can build a book; tourists will get squeezed.

TL;DR — data signals
  • 66.8% of sales below list — sellers negotiating
  • Median DOM 35 days — standard cadence works
  • Sale-to-list 0.979 — buyer market
  • Buyer mix: landlords / BRRRR

Wholesaling in Savannah starts with one question: how often are sellers leaving money on the table? In this market, the answer is "consistently." 66.8% of closed sales land below list, with a sale-to-list ratio of 0.979 — clear evidence that sellers are negotiating and motivated-seller direct mail has room to convert.

The lists that should produce here, based on the current data:

- Price-cut targets — when 66.8% of homes close below list, price-cut filters surface owners already psychologically resigned to discount
- Absentee-out-of-state owners — soft YoY (-3.3%) gives leverage on owners watching their equity erode from a distance

Disposition matters as much as sourcing. Savannah buyers right now lean toward landlords and BRRRR operators — the 6.45% gross rent yield supports cash-flow underwriting, so your assignment fee competes with a real DSCR-positive deal on the buyer's side.

Net: spread is tight but real here. The arithmetic that needs to clear is the same everywhere — purchase + assignment fee + buyer's rehab + buyer's profit ≤ 70-75% of ARV — but the room to find that spread depends on whether sellers will negotiate. The data above says they will in Savannah.
