New Construction Homes Sold in the Golden Isles: September 2026

Every new-construction closing in Brunswick and St. Simons Island from September 1–21, 2026 — and why builder sale prices don't tell the whole story.

By Dewey "DJ" Snipes · September 21, 2026

Nine brand-new homes closed in Brunswick and on St. Simons Island between September 1 and 21. Here's every one — builder list price, final sale price, and how long each took.

I spent eight years on the builder side selling new homes, so this is the part of the market I watch most closely.

#DATA — New construction, Sept 1–21, 2026
  • 9 new-construction closings (7 Brunswick, 2 St. Simons Island)
  • Median sale price: $384,900 (range $305,990 to $1.39M)
  • Sold at 99.9% of list price — 7 of 9 at or above list
  • Compare: Brunswick resales sold at 97.0% of list
  • No new-construction closings recorded on Sea Island this month

Builders are holding their prices — on paper

New homes sold at essentially full list price (99.9%) while resale homes in Brunswick sold at about 97%. That doesn't mean new-home buyers aren't negotiating.

Builders usually protect the sale price and give on the terms instead — closing-cost help, a rate buydown, or upgrades. None of that shows up in the MLS sale price. When you compare a new home to a resale, you need to know what the builder is actually offering, not just the sticker.

Where the new homes are selling

  • Carriage Gate Plantation — 3 closings between $384,900 and $459,950. The busiest new-home community this month.
  • Grant's Ferry Cove, The Lakes at North Glynn, Sweetwater at Golden Isles, Windwood Estates — each closed a new home between $305,990 and $354,420.
  • St. Simons Island — two new builds: 105 Riverview Drive ($1,350,000, at list) and 103 London Lane ($1,385,000).

Mainland Brunswick is where most of the Golden Isles' new construction happens, and it's where most first-time and relocating buyers can find a brand-new home in the $300s.

If you're buying new

Two things I tell every new-construction buyer: bring your own agent to the first visit, and get an independent inspection — even on a brand-new house. The builder's sales rep works for the builder.

If you want to compare communities side by side, including what each builder is offering right now, I'm happy to help.

Source: Golden Isles MLS (FlexMLS), residential closings recorded September 1–21, 2026, pulled September 21. Month-to-date, so the full-month picture will change. These are sales by many brokerages across the market, not only my own. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. "Days on market" is as reported by the MLS; a 0 usually means the sale was entered after closing rather than marketed publicly.
