🏡 Could using Afterpay, Klarna, or Affirm stop you from buying a home?

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services make shopping easier, but could those small installment payments create big problems when applying for a mortgage?

✅ Whether Buy Now, Pay Later affects your credit score
✅ How installment payments can affect mortgage approval
✅ What happens when lenders discover additional financial obligations
✅ Why new purchases before closing could create problems

Whether you're buying your first home, preparing for mortgage preapproval, or already under contract, this is a conversation you don't want to miss!

Is the Savannah housing market finally shifting in favor of buyers? Home sales are slowing across Coastal Georgia, inventory is climbing in several communities, and homes are taking longer to sell. But does that mean home prices are dropping?

Join Patrick and Brandon on The Market Sip as we break down the September 2026 housing market statistics from the MLS, comparing September 2025 with September 2026 across six local markets.

🏡 Communities Covered
Savannah, Pooler, Richmond Hill, Port Wentworth, Rincon, and Guyton, Georgia.

📊 What We're Covering:

- Home prices: Which communities are seeing increases or decreases?
- Closed home sales: Why did sales decline in all six markets?
- Housing inventory: Where are buyers getting more options?
- Days on market: Why are some homes taking significantly longer to sell?
- Price reductions: Are sellers beginning to adjust their expectations?
- Months of supply: Which communities favor buyers, and which still favor sellers?
- Mortgage interest rates and housing affordability.
- What these trends mean if you're buying or selling in Coastal Georgia.

Some of the biggest surprises:

📉 Rincon experienced a 62% decline in closed sales compared with September 2025.

🏠 Savannah's available housing inventory increased 24%, while days on market rose 44%.

📈 Pooler's median sales price increased 10%, even as closed sales declined 48%.

⚖️ Guyton, Savannah, and Rincon all exceeded six months of housing supply, suggesting more buyer-friendly conditions.

Meanwhile, Richmond Hill continues to have the tightest housing supply of the six markets we're covering.

Is it a buyer's market or a seller's market?

The answer depends on where you're looking! We'll explain why the housing market in Savannah can be very different from what's happening just a few miles away.

Whether you're relocating to Savannah, PCSing to Fort Stewart or Hunter Army Airfield, purchasing your first home, or preparing to sell, our goal is to help you understand the local real estate market.

💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION!
