    Deepwater properties in Savannah Ga

    Deepwater properties in Savannah are scarce -- just about every possible area for residential is developed. The good news right is that prices for homes on deepwater lots have fallen and there are some good buys right now.

    Tybee Island is where the beach is located, but most of the waterfront properties with docks are on the rivers going out to the ocean and are located on the other islands around Savannah -- Wilmington Island, Whitemarsh Island, Talahi Island, Skidaway Island, Dutch Island, and so forth. These islands are close to downtown Savannah -- some closer than others, but none over 30 minutes.

    As a buyer agent, I've worked with a lot of buyers looking for deepwater properties with a dock and with enough permanent water depth for a good size boat. Many of the properties advertised as "deepwater" are actually on tidal creeks which go up and down with the tides, so this can be misleading because it's only "deep" for a few hours at a time.

    As a buyer agent, I gather information from the buyer to determine exactly what type of property is needed for boating needs before taking them out to look, because all deepwater properties aren't equal. So if your searching the internet and see a property advertised as "deepwater" and it's a few hundred thousand dollars less than the others you see, it's probably because the house is on a tidal creek, or the dock is a community dock.
