In Wisconsin you can look up the County land records on the county website. That should give you some fel for appraised value from a property tax stand point.
Realtors will normally place a high value knowing they want the seller to get excited and give them the listing. Then they have a cushsion to negotiate with.
hard to comment on your owned land comparison, it is all relative to the land and what the local values are. You could always talk to neighbors and see if they would be interested as that would avoid a commission.
I will tell you a good realtor can tell you the intangibles you may not be aware of and market beyond the local pocket book.
For logging, contact the local county forester office, they can help. Understand, there is a trade off if you log and remove the timber ... there is a value on undisturbed land.
Good luck!
My wife is a realtor so I know what some realtors are capable of...lol... She can pull comps for the area but generally speaking the $2000 per acre is pretty close.
My uncle isn't ready to list, doesn't really need the money, and I already told him I'm more than willing to pay taxes if he wanted to remove his "holding" costs and help with maintenance a few times a year. I've never hunted there, it's just too far away and I have plenty of other places to hunt.
I guess my real question is, this property has increased in value 25-30 times over the years.... Is that possible in the next 40 years? Likely not... But what is possible? 2x, 4x, 6x?
