How are land prices where you live

[hotbiggun]

Not so much in cities but country land. Around here in Kaplan price are way up from a year ago. Are you guys seeing the same?

Rural Carencro is nuts. In some spots it's $20K/ac.

Land is thru the roof in Lake Charles area but so is most everything else---even the cheap stuff is expensive!!!

 

[hotbiggun]

I should have bought morewhen i moved here

 

[sksshooter]

Purchased 4 acres next to my 3.5acres 3 years ago. Appraised at 35k per acre then.

 

[drill sgt]

Yup and going to get more expensive..... they ain"t making any more new. ............. drill sgt.

 

[ColbyLang]

100k an acre in Youngsville or 100k for .4 acre in Lafayette. It’s getting stupid. And here we are trying to determine if we’re going to build a new house. No greater feeling than selling high and paying the premium lol

Landowners in St. Tammany Parish think they're selling Trump properties.

Lot one over from my two on bank of Toledo Bend is less than .5 acre. $105,000. .69 acres including leaseback.

 

[hotbiggun]

Damn thats high. Does that include all utilities to the property?

 

[drill sgt]

Land ain"t getting any cheaper....Plus more land ain"t being built.. ....... drill sgt.

 

[ColbyLang]

Damn thats high. Does that include all utilities to the property?

In Lafayette and Youngsville yes. Both scenarios I’m talking about are in neighborhoods. And then there’s the outlier that’s 200k for .5 acre in some giant ass neighborhood full of mini mansions

I paid $4500/ac last summer for unimproved land up near Franklinton.

My fiance and I are looking for a rural spot with a couple+ acres -45mins from Woman's Hospital on Airline, east of the river, but there is pretty slim pickings within our budget.

Land is still going up but it's starting to sell a bit slower. Since 2020 most real "gems" have sold on the same day they were listed, or before, all around the country and especially in the south.

 

[john17427]

From our experience last year, buying land anywhere is competitive and a race against time. We lost out on several pieces until we figured out the process. You have to have your money or financing in hand and go at it like's it a job.

Lots of old dairy farms up there being broken up. My MIL got three cleared acres, nice and high and pretty level, for $24K and built a house.

The 2 remaining .25 acre lots in my subdivision in Walker are $40,000 each.
