Maine Hntr Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Just a curiosity question for you central/Midwestern state guys, what would you say the average acre of land goes for around you? I know it can greatly vary depending on how rural etc... but again I'm just curious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WStreblo Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Cost of Land Here in Ohio you could have got it for about 1800 per acre... Now with the gas contracts it's between 3200 and 4700 an acre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireStation46 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Now is the time to buy. They don't make new land and when the economy picks up, prices will rise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Cost of Land Indiana is 4000-12000 in the northern part of the state. Farm ground averaging about 7500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHISKEYSWAMP Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 5000-10000+ in this part of Ohio depending on the quality of farm ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Around here bottom ground that is in a flood plain is around $4000-5000 and acre. Tillable land and higher ground timber goes between 6-10 on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 From what we've seen and what we've bought in MO the price varies a lot depending on how much tillable land there is on a tract and if the tillable is good bottom land or not. Timbered land runs from ~$1,200 to $1,900 depending on the maturity of the timber. Tillable ranges from $4,000 to $7,000 depending on if it's bottom land or not...or partially. If it's a mix of timber & tillable...break out the calculator. Land in CRP is also a factor in price along with the price & timing of CRP contracts. Land in WRP is considerably cheaper for obvious reasons if you understand WRP rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah, really varies quite a bit here. Supposedly the ground behind us, which is for the most part swamp, sold as "hunting property" for around $900 an acre, appraisal on that property was around $600 an acre. That is a landlocked piece with an easement road to get in that has absolutely no other value aside from hunting. The part of that farm that was sold off for ag property according to the tax records fetched $690,000 for 160 acres. That was all part of one farm that was split.

Tominator Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 My part of central Ohio, (Delaware/Licking county), depends on zoning areas. If it's small lots zoned for residential $10,000 on up. Ag land, probably starts around $4,000 if you're lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Firestation said it right just about. basically any time is the time to buy. they never make more of it. If you keep an eye on local stuff and get the inside scoop you can usually get it for a bit cheaper here before it goes on the market. sometimes it's all in who you know. We get some people that come up from NYC or people buying up land with road frontage to develop it and they drive prices way way up. People who have inherited land eventually chop it all up due to the nature of the situation. tough to come up with contiguous acreage these days.

OKstate Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 The stuff selling lately in central Oklahoma is going between $2500-$3500 per acre for decent pasture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Yep, East side of Okieland is high too. Find something out in the sticks and its around $1500 an acre. Buy in an area that can be developed and it runs around $3000 - $4000 if youre looking at 10+ acres. That all changes at 100+ acres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I oversee about a hundred real estate transactions a year in Southeast Oklahoma. For small rural acreage, land is going for around $2,000 an acre. Larger tracts around $1,500-$900 an acre depending upon how large. The closer you get to town or the closer you get to the local lake, the higher prices go. I've financed one acre of land within a mile of the lake for $37,000.00.

fly Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 The more acres the cheaper the cost: Avg hunting ground (field/wooded mix) about 6,000.00 per acre. As one gets closer to St. Louis MO it goes up. 200 acres an hour from St. Louis might go for 5,000.00 acre - 30 acres the same distance 8,000.00 an acre. Totally nuts in my opinion.
