Savannah is a market where rental strategy matters as much as the rent estimate. The historic district drives major tourism, and short-term rentals can generate significantly more revenue than long-term leases in certain areas. The city has been tightening STR regulations though, so check before you commit. Hunter Army Airfield and nearby Fort Stewart provide military renter demand. The Victorian District and Ardsley Park are premium for long-term rentals. West Savannah and the Southside are cheaper. SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) adds a student renter population. Smaller market with a thinner tenant pool, but the fundamentals work if you pick the right strategy and the right location.
These numbers are city-wide averages. If you're pricing a specific property in Savannah, pull comps from the same zip code. The spread is usually bigger than people expect.
