When selling or buying land, value isn’t just about acreage.
Here are the 5 key factors that buyers care about most:
1. Location & Access
Easy, year-round access and good road frontage make land
more desirable. Proximity to towns, services, and amenities also adds value.
2. Zoning & Usability
What the land can legally be used for — agriculture,
residential, commercial, or recreational — greatly impacts its value. Usable,
well-shaped land is always preferred.
3. Utilities & Infrastructure
Electricity, water, septic, fencing, and other improvements
increase appeal. Turnkey, build-ready parcels command higher prices.
4. Natural Features
Soil quality, terrain, water sources, timber, and scenic
views all affect land value. Buyers pay a premium for productive or visually
appealing land.
5. Market Demand & Future Potential
Limited inventory, buyer interest, and nearby development trends drive pricing. Land in high-demand areas with long-term growth potential is especially valuable.
