βA growing number of professionals from New York to California decided to relocate to Savannah in 2020 due to the pandemic,β said Donegan. βMany of these buyers can work from anywhere in the country. They were attracted to Savannahβs incredible quality of life, temperate weather, historic architecture, coastal lifestyle and impressive real estate selection.β
Last year, Donegan sold more than $38 million in residential property at Seabolt Real Estate, plus an additional $1.475 million at a previous brokerage firm.
