Market Intelligence
Pembroke, read like a local
Pembroke began in 1890 as a railroad and turpentine town on the Savannah and Western line, and it became the county seat in 1937, a role it holds today with the courthouse and county administration at its center. The historic courthouse from the late 1930s and the compact downtown give the town its working identity.
For buyers, Pembroke offers the county's most affordable housing in a town with services and government jobs on site. It sits roughly 35 miles from Savannah, about 12 miles from Fort Stewart, and within easy reach of five interstate exits, which makes it a practical base for military and port-area commuters.

The market, read honestly
Pembroke's market is a mix of established small-town homes, acreage and a growing set of subdivisions answering the corridor's demand. Prices run below the Richmond Hill and Savannah side of the county, which is the draw for value buyers.
The honest read is that the market is forming in real time, so recent sales can lag the current asking climate. Rob pulls the last 90 days for the Pembroke address before any comparison is drawn.
