The Move-Up Buyer Is Back (Yes, Even With a Chicken)

Savannah has a way of blending everyday life with big transitions. And lately, that’s exactly what’s been happening.

From small, personal moments to noticeable shifts in the housing market, there’s a lot worth paying attention to right now. Whether you live here already or you’re thinking about making a move, here’s what’s been going on.

A Little Life Update (Because It's All Connected)

Real estate is never just about houses. It's about how people actually live.

Lately, life has been full of simple, very Savannah things.

After being extremely late to the party, Stranger Things finally made it onto the screen — and lived up to the hype. The nostalgia, the music, the characters… all of it. And yes, Dustin is still the favorite.

On the local food side, oysters are having a moment. Specifically, Tybee Salt Bomb oysters — the kind you start planning your week around. The Darling Oyster Bar has quickly become a go-to spot and absolutely lives up to the reputation.

Around town, there’s always something new popping up. The playground project at Daffin Park is already getting attention, and it’s easy to see why. It’s shaping up to be one of those places people plan their afternoons around.

And at home, garden season is right around the corner — which means okra, patience, and a lot of optimism.

It’s a mix of everyday life and small joys. And that’s exactly what makes this city special.

A Bittersweet Change for the Harris Home Team

Big changes aren’t just happening in the market.

Kim Holcombe, a key part of the Harris Home Team, has stepped into a new role working with a builder. While it’s an exciting next chapter for her, she leaves behind a meaningful impact.

She brought a level of care and consistency that made every transaction smoother and every interaction better. The kind of teammate and professional who truly shapes a team’s culture.

If you happen to be exploring new construction in Richmond Hill, you may still run into her. And like most great team members, the door is always open if paths cross again in the future.

Why So Many Homeowners Have Felt "Stuck"

If you’ve felt hesitant about making a move over the past couple of years, you’re not alone.

A lot of homeowners have been in the same position.

You may have locked in a great interest rate. The market was highly competitive. Inventory was limited. And moving didn’t just feel complicated — it felt like giving something up.

So people stayed put.

Even when their homes no longer fit their day-to-day lives.

It’s a common story lately. One that often starts with something like:

“We’ve got three kids, one bathroom… a couple of dogs… and somehow a chicken.”

It’s not about dissatisfaction. It’s about outgrowing a space.
