As of October 2026, we analyzed 1,378 active for-sale homes in Savannah, Georgia. The typical listing is priced at $399,900 and is projected to generate about $49,694 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 64.6% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — well above the 53.1% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Savannah #49 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Savannah sit a median of 71 days on the market, and 24% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a slower-moving market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.
For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — that's a relatively healthy setup: in Savannah, a meaningful share of listings throw off enough short-term-rental income, after costs, to cover an estimated investor mortgage payment.
