Bulloch County Overall
Median sold price $293,175, down 3.05%. 41 days on market, up from 21. 4.43 months of inventory. 89 homes sold at 97.7% of list. The dip in the median sold price reflects the mix of homes that closed: RPR’s median estimated value of $285,870 rose 0.31% for the month. New listings fell 37.3% to 126, but new contracts fell faster, 46.1% to 62, which usually points to a lighter closing count the following month.
Statesboro
Median sold price $288,950, down 6.15%. 47 days on market, up from 20. 4.37 months of inventory. 70 homes sold at 98.3% of list. Statesboro accounted for 70 of the county’s 89 sales. 345 homes are for sale, the most in the past year. The median list price of $289,900 sits right next to the median sale, so well-priced homes are still selling close to asking; they are taking longer to find a buyer. RPR’s median estimated value is $280,000.
Brooklet 30415
Median sold price $302,750, down 0.9%. 36 days on market, down from 38. 3 months of inventory, the tightest in the county. Only 10 homes sold, at 96.6% of list, so read the figures with caution. 19 new listings came on, up 58.3%, with 24 homes for sale. RPR’s median estimated value is $327,000. Brooklet adopted the rollback millage rate of 3.84 mills, down from 4.599.
Portal 30450
Only 2 homes sold in September, so RPR reports no median sold price, days on market or sold-to-list for Portal this month. 10 homes are for sale and months of inventory sits at 5.0, right on the line between a seller’s and a balanced market. RPR’s median estimated value is $209,920. The county’s residential rezoning freeze runs through December 31, 2026.
What’s Coming to Bulloch County
On October 6, 2026 Statesboro City Council advanced a workforce housing project on Abbey Road: 90 detached homes on about 40 acres with sale prices capped between $200,000 and $290,000. The developer has committed at least $4.5 million, and the project depends on a OneGeorgia grant of up to $2.5 million with a $250,000 city match. The same day, county commissioners voted 3-1 to appoint a 15-member Data Center Committee; the county moratorium on data centers runs through December 31, 2026. A lawsuit filed September 17 challenges Statesboro’s August rezoning of about 26 acres on Burkhalter Road for a planned data center. The claims have not been decided, and the city’s response is due later in October.
The Bottom Line
Buyers have the most choice Bulloch County has offered in a year, and more time to use it. Sellers who price to today’s market are still getting close to asking, but should plan on six weeks or more rather than three.
