2016 Rural land market review
- Low Inventory Continues
This sounds like a looping track, but low inventory persists. This has been the case since around October of 2015. Nice properties 40-150 acres are selling quickly. The average parcel size that sold during the fourth quarter was 71 acres. This is a great time for landowners to put properties on the market.
- Buyers Waiting in The Wings
Land buyers continue watching and waiting; but immediately jump in the game when a fairly priced property comes on the market.
- Prices rebound
Rural land prices rebounded from third quarter’s average of $3,181/acre to finish the year at $3,472/acre. This 4th quarter 2016 average price/acre when compared to $3,308 in the 4thquarter of 2015, was an increase of 10.8%.
