The Bryan County housing market entered spring 2026 with an encouraging rebound. In fact, the Bryan County housing market closed March 2026 with the median sold price up 4.2% month over month to $415,499, with 86 homes sold across the county — nearly double February’s volume. However, the data looks dramatically different depending on which corner of the county you’re watching. Specifically, Richmond Hill is the demand engine. Meanwhile, Pembroke saw thin volume and a misleading -42.6% headline. As a result, micro-market reads matter more than ever in Bryan County. By Dave Rotundo, Dave Rotundo Realty – Savannah, Georgia.
This update breaks down March 2026 closed-sale data — pulled directly from the latest RPR Market Trends Report — for Richmond Hill, Pembroke, Ellabell, and the broader Bryan County picture.

Months-of-Inventory Primer for the Bryan County Housing Market
- Under 5 months: seller-leaning market.
- 5 to 7 months: balanced market.
- Over 7 months: buyer leverage.
Bryan County overall sits at 6.58 months — squarely in balanced territory with a slight buyer lean. However, the texture by ZIP differs sharply.
Bryan County Overall
Across the county for March 2026: median list price of $452,432, median sold price of $415,499 (up 4.2% from February), 32 days on market (a notable improvement), and 6.58 months of inventory. As a result, the county sits firmly in balanced-to-buyer-leaning territory.
What does that mean? In short, buyers aren’t getting crushed the way they were in 2021 and 2022. Specifically, there’s selection and there’s room to negotiate. However, with 86 closings and a 4.2% price uptick, sellers aren’t in panic mode either. Therefore, this is a market where preparation and pricing strategy matter — on both sides.
Sellers: price right and you can move. Buyers: you have options, but strong properties are still going quickly.
Richmond Hill, Bryan County — Real Estate Market (ZIP 31324)
Richmond Hill is the busiest market in Bryan County. Specifically, the March 2026 median sold price came in at $419,215 against a median list of $464,900 — up 4.8% month over month. Furthermore, homes are moving in just 30 days, with 6.52 months of inventory, and 78 homes closed last month — strong sales volume for this market.
Richmond Hill continues to be the engine driving Bryan County’s numbers. In addition, Pulte is actively closing new-construction homes in Waterways and Heartwood, with Landmark and Mungo also delivering inventory across the ZIP, which contributes to that higher volume. Specifically, several new builds closed at list or just under — sellers are making concessions in the form of closing costs on new construction, but base prices are holding firm.
With 30 days on market, if a home is priced right and shows well, it is not sitting. As a result, Richmond Hill is anchored by top-rated schools, the Hyundai Metaplant proximity, and easy I-95 access. Therefore, demand here remains real even as the broader market rebalances.
Bottom line for Richmond Hill buyers: get your financing lined up before you go shopping. Bottom line for sellers: $464K-plus is not selling itself. Specifically, presentation and price are your two biggest levers.
Pembroke, Bryan County — Real Estate Market (ZIP 31321)
Pembroke’s March numbers require a sample-size caveat. Specifically, the median sold price came in at $289,500, down 42.6% month over month. However, only 4 homes sold in Pembroke last month. As a result, that headline is almost entirely a statistical artifact — a single high-priced sale in February and a handful of mid-range closings in March will swing the median dramatically.
What’s more reliable: inventory at 5.4 months — actually the tightest of any Bryan County area we covered. Furthermore, the median list price is $327,500, and homes are sitting an average of 49 days before going under contract — a bit longer, which reflects the rural character and lower buyer pool for this area.
Pembroke is fundamentally a value play. In other words, you get more land, more space, and a small-town feel at prices significantly below Richmond Hill. Therefore, if you’re a buyer who can work with a longer commute, Pembroke deserves a hard look.
Bottom line for Pembroke buyers: read inventory and DOM, not the headline median. Bottom line for sellers: with only a handful of buyers in this market at any given time, pricing is everything. Specifically, overpriced homes sit.
Ellabell, Bryan County — Real Estate Market (ZIP 31308)
Ellabell rounds out the county. In March, the median list price was $339,900, with the median sold price at $308,900 — down 2.2% from last month. Furthermore, days on market averaged 48, inventory came in at 6.71 months (the highest in our breakdown), and 8 homes sold.
Ellabell sits just across the line from Chatham County. As a result, this ZIP attracts buyers who want a Bryan County address with easy access to Savannah and Pooler. However, with nearly 7 months of inventory, this is buyer territory — there’s no urgency pressure here.
In addition, Ellabell sits adjacent to the Hyundai Metaplant build-out and the I-16 logistics corridor. Therefore, the long-term demand fundamentals here are real, even when monthly volumes stay thin.
Bottom line for Ellabell buyers: you have leverage — use it. Bottom line for sellers: you’re competing with Richmond Hill and new construction at similar price points. Specifically, your home has to be priced sharper and presented better to win buyers.
What the Bryan County Housing Market Means If You’re Buying or Selling in 2026
- First, micro-markets matter. Specifically, Richmond Hill at 30 DOM trades nothing like Pembroke at 49 DOM.
- Also, the Hyundai Metaplant tailwind is real. Furthermore, Richmond Hill and Ellabell both ride that demand wave — even if any single month’s data looks soft.
- In addition, watch sample size. In fact, Pembroke’s 4 closings and Ellabell’s 8 closings mean monthly headline percentages can mislead.
- Furthermore, sold-to-list dynamics differ. As a result, Richmond Hill sellers are still close to asking, while Ellabell sellers have to negotiate harder.
- Finally, builder competition is the wildcard. Specifically, Pulte’s Monterey and Enclave activity in Richmond Hill, plus new construction in the Ellabell corridor, continue to set the pricing context.
Ultimately, Bryan County heading into spring 2026 is a balanced market where data literacy matters. Therefore, don’t rely on county-wide averages — know your ZIP code.

Is Richmond Hill still a seller’s market?
Richmond Hill is balanced with sellers still holding a slight edge. Specifically, 6.52 months of inventory and 30-day pace mean priced-right homes still close quickly, but sellers can’t list aspirationally and expect to win.
Why did Pembroke’s median price drop so much in March?
Pembroke’s -42.6% reflects sample-size noise. Specifically, only 4 homes closed in Pembroke in March, and individual transactions can swing the median by 30–40% in such a thin market. Therefore, focus on the inventory (5.4 months) and DOM (49 days) for the real signal.

Ellabell (31308). With 6.71 months of inventory and 48 days on market, buyers there have the most negotiating room — especially when comparing resale homes against new construction at similar price points.

Significantly. In fact, the Hyundai Metaplant in Ellabell drives demand throughout the Bryan County housing market — from Richmond Hill’s commuter buyers to Ellabell’s industrial-adjacent housing. As a result, the long-term tailwind is real.
