I bought an acre with some waterfront last year and just appraised for $340k.

wooded unimproved, no well, or electricity land 30 min to town goes for 50 to 70 k an acre and will be probably 15 to 20 per cent higher by June. Most it is not flat or usable.

It's nuts now

Would be interesting to know, at a minimum, what State you're in and perhaps even what corner of said state.

Just depends. The most expensive I have seen is $5000 acre. The cheapest I have seen it around here in the last few years was around $700 acre for 40 acres. It was harvested pine tree farm. All clay soil, several miles from the closest utility pole, and down a dirt road. On average, $1500 for clear cut, 2500 for wooded, and 3000 - 3500 for fields. If you are willing to buy 100 acres or more, you can knock some off of that. A couple of years ago, I had a friend who was trying to get his 2 brothers to go in with him on a farm that was 150 acres with food plots amd tree stands with a house and shop for $300k.

Bought some additional/adjoining land in WV 3 weeks ago directly from my neighbor.

I know the Closing attorney from before (he prepped the deeds and Title Insurance etc.)... he is also the big shot realtor in the area.

He has been getting cold calls from out of state buyers like crazy. Although he has hundreds of listings, the buyers are wanting to buy the absolute filet mignon real estate and he has no inventory.

So, he has been calling up his neighbors, friends from church and other long time residence and saying " Johnny, I know you're not interested in selling your family farm, but I have a live one on the other phone that is willing to pay XYZ."

Johnny replies " Holy crap, are these people stupid or what? Of course I will sell for that kind of money."

I get along with this attorney very well and at closing we were chatting about this insanity... guns etc.

He said "Hold on a second, I need to get something from my office you will like it. My son just built it last week."

Out comes an AR-15 with a binary trigger.

Got to love a real estate closing where I can write a personal check to escrow and we spend 15 minutes talking about guns.

Bottomline, $500 an acre land ain't no more in West Virginia.

Haven't priced land in a while, but we bought our 40 on a "paved" (mostly potholes) road with electricity nearby in 2003 for around 72,000. As land goes, it's not very good. It's low and swampy during the fall and spring. Has no hardwoods, just poplars and pines.

A white single wide with red accent trim is sublime. And the whole time I thought Jim had no class at all.

Most our houses under a million on 2-10 acres are selling about 100k over zillow estimates, no sign it’s slowing down either. Maybe a shack near the beach in Hawaii wouldn’t be so bad smile

Depends on where and what.
Right now, most any semi rural property
in this region is pretty much ridiculous.
Even landlocked parcels are way high.
" reasonable " priced land is $5000.00 an acre.
Getting a realtor involved drives it way up.
I know a man up the road that sold his not
quite 2 acres for $ 49000.00
80 some odd with a deal pending for $750000.00

I would take that in a heart beat if it were on 150 acres. Probably nicer than the schitt stain you live in.

Here locally back in late winter of 2020 3 parcels totaling 410 acres all together sold at auction for a little over $4.3 million setting a new record for agriculture ground here. Average price per acre figured out to about $10,400. The previous record for agriculture acreage was $7,600 per acre sold in 2008.
