Will land values follow the general housing market?

Yes Land values are influenced by the general housing market, but they can also be affected by other factors such as location, developments and demand.

It really depends on what you are looking to get out of the sale of your land. Are you hoping to make a quick sale, or are you looking for a higher return? If you are looking for a quick sale, selling in 2 acre lots may be your best bet. You will be able to move the property faster, but you may not get as much money. If you are looking for a higher return, you may want to consider selling in 5 acre lots. This will likely take longer to sell, but you may be able to get more money per acre. Ultimately, it depends on your goals and what you are looking to get out of the sale. Land values are tied to the housing market, but not always in the same way. The housing market affects land values in that it will influence the demand for land, which will in turn impact the price of land. However, land values can be affected by other factors such as zoning laws, access to transportation and utilities, and population growth. It is important for potential buyers to consider all of these factors when looking at land values.

Generally, the land value/price will follow the housing market but there are many factors which will make great difference. Most important factors are including but not limiting to location, location, location and area developmental plan and potential growth on buissiness and populations.

The land is growing in demand as the market for homes.

Yes, the land values will follow the housing market. Right now, a lot of buyers have been willing to purchase land farther out and build due to the increase pricing in metro areas. As we see pricing slow down and correct over the next few months, you will also see that change in the land values have peeked and will start to correct as well. At the end of the day, it is all real estate. Hope that helps. God Bless!

Yes! The land trends should also follow the market.

Due to the price increase in the metropolitan area, many of my clients do wish to buy a few acres in a peaceful location, but ultimately the cost remains the same.

Just as with about everything in real estate, location matters. In most areas prices of land skyrocketed, while in others, remain stale.
Many buyers want to forgo purchasing subdivision homes and dream of couple acres in a quiet, more rural country, but still somewhat close to the metropolitan areas.
Those areas have seen a substantial rise in prices.
So yes, for the most part, prices of land, follow prices of the residential market prices.

Generally, yes…but location and “type/usage” may be a factor. A recent east Tx “unrestricted” .17 acre listing of mine is under contract for full price, where a larger one an hour south of DFW took 11 mos., and only for tax-appraised value. I want to iterate Mr. Applewhite’s comment… I think one reason my small lot listing sold so quickly is due to fiber optics coming to the area! So, Mr. Applewhite is right on… If your client anticipates working from home, fast internet will more than likely be key in their search.

So far they have. Here’s what I have noticed….

Land and rural property/homes are getting scooped up by this newborn Covid population that now can work from home and remotely anywhere in the nation.

The big companies noticed they can pay people a little less if they let them work from home. These employees absolute love the idea and can now move outward.

I’ve seen rural properties become more and more scarce and Ive worked with some of these buyers.

With job security and the opportunity to work anywhere, we’ll see it grow even faster.

In 2023, Elon Musk’s Starlink will be available in much of the rural areas too. When high speed internet goes rural, we’ll see it even more.

Rural growth and people living in their decked out vehicles. Growing fast.

Yes, based on what I’ve seen land values do tend to mirror the housing market in terms of price increases.

Yes, based upon actual sales experience Land Values have followed the general housing market. I’ve recently sold Acreage and Residential Lots.

Yes I believe land values will continue to follow the general housing market.
