Here's what you can get for $400,000 in Savannah, Georgia

City has been an important port since before the Revolutionary War

They call it the “Hostess City of the South,” but there’s a lot more to Savannah, Georgia, than its hospitality.

The city has been an important port since before the Revolutionary War and it remains one today. The Georgia Ports Authority said 37.5 million tons of cargo crossed its docks last year.

The largest employer in the city is Gulfstream Aerospace, according to the Savannah Area Chamber. Other major employers include hospitals, large retailers and marine cargo-handling businesses.

The local real estate market has weathered the COVID-19 pandemic well. The median sale price in September was $255,350, up from $208,250 a year earlier, according to Realtor.com. Homes are spending an average of 66 days on the market in Savannah, the shortest amount of time since 2017.
