Land Market Report: May 2022

Finally, it rained. It has been a dry winter and early spring, but we are finally getting some relief via
regular rain showers. Everything is green and happy as the seasons change once again, just as intended.
The north Texas land market seems to be changing seasons as well, with fewer transactions taking place and a possible plateau of pricing – at least for now. April 2022 showed 54 land transactions within the six-county area of Collin, Cooke, Denton, Grayson, Montague, and Wise, compared with 99 in the month of April of last year.

Rising interest rates, and more especially, rising costs of everything we buy, have helped to cause the slowdown. Investors and folks with 1031 money are still on the hunt for land deals, but there has been a definite decrease in activity from the end-users.

Land Market Report: January Land Sales

The rural land market in North Texas has had a fairly stale start to the year, with the number of transactions closed being minimal so far. There has been an increase in call volume from buyers, and some are turning into contracts, but I feel like we are still a little slower than we usually are at this time of the year. The “experts” are expecting fewer transactions in 2024 as compared to 2023, and they may be correct, because election years always seem to be slower. Once the election is over, and regardless of who wins, things seem to pick up once again. It is a strange phenomena that just seems to happen every four years.

With the amount of growth that we are currently experiencing here, I do not expect things to get any cheaper. More people means more houses, and they have to have land to build those houses on.
