June brought a welcome increase in inventory across Skidaway Island, giving buyers more choices than we’ve seen in recent months while reinforcing the resilience of our luxury market.
Buyers continue to reward quality. Homes that are thoughtfully updated, meticulously maintained, and move-in ready remain the clear standouts, particularly those offering desirable views, modern floor plans, and high-end finishes. While buyers are taking more time to evaluate their options, exceptional homes continue to generate strong interest and, in many cases, attract offers quickly.
NEW LISTINGS
June saw 24 new residential listings come to market:
- 20 in The Landings
- 4 in Grand Harbor
- 0 in South Harbor
- 0 in Modena
The average list price was $944,683, or $312 per square foot, with asking prices ranging from $490,000 to $1.5 million.
The increase in inventory is encouraging, but we’re still far from an oversupplied market. Well-priced homes continue to attract attention, while aspirational pricing is beginning to result in longer market times.
ACTIVE CONTINGENT
Despite an increase in available inventory, buyer demand remained steady throughout June, with 9 homes moving to Active Contingent status.
- 9 in The Landings
- 0 in Grand Harbor
- 0 in South Harbor
- 0 in Modena
These homes averaged $1,108,311, or $322.46 per square foot. Buyers continue to act decisively when they perceive value, while homes that miss the mark on pricing or presentation are beginning to take longer to secure a contract.
CLOSED SALES
June concluded with 28 residential closings:
- 27 in The Landings
- 1 in Modena
- 0 in Grand Harbor
- 0 in South Harbor
The average closed sale was $1,240,842, or $345.30 per square foot, with sales ranging from $420,000 to $2.67 million.
These numbers continue to support strong values throughout the market, particularly for homes that are updated, well-located, and thoughtfully prepared before coming to market.
LOOKING AHEAD
One trend I’m watching closely is the growing divide between homes that are truly market-ready and those that aren’t.
Today’s buyers are exceptionally informed. Before they ever schedule a showing, they’ve compared floor plans, studied recent sales, reviewed photographs online, and developed clear expectations for value. As a result, homes that are priced strategically and presented beautifully continue to generate strong interest, while those with deferred maintenance, dated finishes, or aspirational pricing are spending considerably more time on the market.
I also believe we’ll continue to see inventory build gradually through the summer. That’s good news for buyers, who finally have more choices, but it also raises the bar for sellers. Preparation, pricing, and marketing are becoming increasingly important—and in many cases, they will determine whether a home sells in weeks or lingers on the market for months.
One additional trend worth watching is the growing importance of lifestyle. Increasingly, buyers aren’t simply purchasing a home—they’re investing in how they want to live. Properties that combine quality construction with thoughtful design, functional outdoor living spaces, and convenient access to the amenities that make Skidaway Island so desirable continue to outperform the broader market.
Overall, I continue to view the Skidaway Island market as fundamentally strong. We’re moving away from the frenzied pace of the past few years and into a healthier, more balanced market—one where strategy matters more than luck. Sellers who prepare their homes thoughtfully and price them realistically will continue to achieve excellent results, while buyers are finally finding themselves with the opportunity to be more selective without sacrificing confidence in the long-term value of owning on Skidaway Island.
The market tells a story—but the headlines rarely tell the whole story. If you’re considering buying or selling on Skidaway Island, I’d be happy to discuss what these trends mean for your specific property and help you develop a strategy tailored to your goals.
