Lets discuss.....Deer Habitat Land Prices in your area.

[Foggy47]

I think we need to keep a pulse on deer property prices. What has land sold for near you? When I bought my property....the fair market value in this area was about $2000 / acre. That was 18 years ago. Today the same type of land would sell for $5000 / acre.....and not near as much is for sale these days. Lots of demand for 40 to 80 acre parcels....but not sure the price varies that much on size. What say you?

The county just told me my property is going up In value by $77 every single day. They also awarded me a 20+ percent tax increase.

Someone must have told them I’ve been spreading gypsum and bringing back dogwood.

Too damn much! I would never pay the going rate for either of my properties in GA.

Are you considering selling or buying more @Foggy47 ?

Prices have flattened out a bit in my area but it depends on so many factors. Certainly still a lack of quality properties on the market.

But, I might sell it for the perceived, talked about rate.

I bought my $h!ty wet, low untiled low land for $800 an acre in 1998, right before the apocalypse; started brewing beer too.


If I didn't live here and love it; I'd still have a hard time selling and have our years of habitat work wiped off.

I think my kids will as while they love coming here and enjoy it; it's not they're life.

Not planning on either. Land prices are just fun to talk about. Tho I do consider buying a 40 and flipping it every now and again.

Seems it always feels too expensive when your pricing land.....but it always seems to go higher over time. I remember times that I could have bought huge tracts for $100 / acre.......and that does not seem so long ago (1980's) to me.

We are just getting old. I once bought 160 acres for $4800 . It was money I didn’t have, but I had to save money each high school summer to make the payment.

Sold it when I started college and got enough to cover housing through most of college.

On another note, location is key. Hunting land near your lakes area is worth more.

I’m in NW Ohio, hunting ground here is ridiculously priced right now. Most selling for $12K-$15K per acre for rough ground no matter the size shape or how crappy the ground.
If anything comes up for sale it is immediately snatched up, seems like everyone is a buyer these days.
I don’t foresee it going down in price around here any time soon, the competition for hunting is about out of control.
And regular farm ground is selling north of $30K if you could even find any to buy, it gets snatched up so fast.

Saw an 80 go for 5k per acre near Sauk Center last year. Never hit the open market or I'm sure it would have gone for quite a bit more.

It’s so location dependent in my area. A 30 minute drive either direction can change the price by 50%. True recreational property with no development potential will range from $3,000 to $7,000 per acre depending upon the size of the tract and how far from the population centers you are. I had to get 1 hour away from the population areas to get what I felt was a good deal.

There are a few decent deals out there, but you have to be very patient and continually searching. You also have to find a property that is not being listed by one of the big national land brokerages.

I’d say it’s stabilized. $3-$5k an acre unless it’s very row crop heavy then it could go for more. Saw a decent tract near me with 400 acres, 150 tillable, for almost $6k an acre update their listing with willing to subdivide (vomit).

 

[goatman]

Junk timber ground quick sale $6000/acre. Possible $6600:acre. West central IL. Interest rates have slowed things a little.

 

[BenA]

Varies greatly around my land in Kentucky. Between $3-8k an acre right now. I was offered over 8k cash for a portion of mine that's tillable.

Farm land in my area of Minnesota is 5000-10000 per acre depending on soils. Most rec land is $4000, up to $7000. If it’s really good !

A lake lot might be $400k to 600k
