Land investors face deal scarcity, but multiple sourcing strategies remain key

LandThink says land values have risen sharply over the past five years as inventory stayed low, making deal-finding a bigger challenge for buyers.

LandThink reports that finding good investment deals on land has been difficult in recent years, citing low inventory as a key factor behind a surge in land values over the past five years.

The outlet says land investing, unlike a quick-flip approach, typically takes time for value to grow, and that market conditions can shift, so investors need to plan for different holding, developing, or selling paths.

LandThink adds that investors should rely on multiple strategies to source, evaluate, and secure properties, while staying flexible and making calculated moves rather than letting deal scarcity discourage them.

The article features Pat Porter, owner and broker at RecLand Realty, describing strategies he uses for deal sourcing and evaluation, and notes RecLand’s focus on selling hunting land, timberland, farms, and ranches across several states.
