Bulloch County is the one Coastal Georgia market where sellers are still firmly in control this month. Welcome to this month’s Market Fact Friday breakdown for Bulloch County, with the April 2026 numbers pulled directly from Realtors Property Resource (RPR), plus the interpretation that matters for buyers and sellers right now.
The thesis is simple. While West Chatham is loosening and Effingham is sitting balanced, Bulloch is the only county we cover that is under 5 months of inventory. At 3.98 months countywide, this is seller territory, and almost all of the activity runs through Statesboro.

Inventory thresholds: under 5 months is seller-leaning, 5 to 7 months is balanced, over 7 months is buyer-leaning. Per the National Association of Realtors, roughly 5 to 6 months of supply is the textbook definition of a balanced market.
Bulloch County Housing Market at a Glance
Bulloch’s overall median sold price came in at $302,250, up 6.05% month over month. In addition, days on market sat at 29, with 108 closed sales (up from 101 the prior month) and just 3.98 months of inventory. Notably, that inventory figure is the headline: it is the tightest on the channel, and it is what keeps Bulloch reading as a seller’s market while the rest of Coastal Georgia drifts toward balance. Still, the catch is concentration. Specifically, one city does most of the work, so the countywide number hides very different conditions from one ZIP to the next.
Statesboro: The Engine of the County
Statesboro is where Bulloch’s market lives. It posted 95 of the county’s 108 closings, with a median sold price of $299,500, up 4.17% month over month, and 30 days on market. At 3.64 months of inventory, Statesboro is even tighter than the county overall. For sellers, that means pricing at market and holding firm on early offers, because the second-showing crowd is usually right behind the first. For buyers, assume the seller is not flexible and bring your strongest offer up front. Additionally, get pre-approved before you start touring, because cash-equivalent terms win here.
Brooklet (ZIP 30415): Acreage and Custom Builds
For example, Brooklet closed 5 sales in April, with a median sold price of $475,000 and just 7 days on market. Importantly, the higher median reflects the larger custom builds and acreage properties that trade here, not a broad price jump. At 5.83 months of inventory, Brooklet reads Balanced, the one pocket of buyer breathing room in the county. If you want land within commuting distance of Statesboro, this is the play, but build in an appraisal contingency because comps are thin.
A quick caution: with only 5 closed sales this month, Brooklet is a thin sample. Treat the medians as a direction, not a precise figure, and weight the last 6 months of larger sales rather than a single month.
Portal (ZIP 30450): The Smallest Market on the Channel
By comparison, Portal is the smallest market we cover, with only 8 active listings and 3 closings in April. The $225,000 median sold is a thin-sample number and slipped 5.44% month over month, but the more useful signal is the list-price trend, which is climbing. Even so, at 4.00 months of inventory, Portal still leans seller. Buyers should watch list prices and move before the next round of sellers resets expectations higher. Sellers have scarcity working for them, but fewer comps means appraisal risk, so price with recent data.
As with Brooklet, 3 closed sales is a thin sample. Interpret the medians with caution.
Bottom Line: April 2026 Bulloch County Housing Market
Bulloch’s April story is concentration. Statesboro is the engine, and it is where nearly all of the volume and the most reliable price discovery happen. Meanwhile, the smaller ZIPs, Brooklet and Portal, swing on a handful of sales, so read them by inventory and days on market rather than median price alone. If you are listing anywhere in Bulloch right now, you have leverage you do not have elsewhere in Coastal Georgia. If you are buying, your best opening is Brooklet, where balanced conditions give you a little more room to negotiate.
