Inventories are low and buyers are searching. Potential sellers often ask me what time of the year is the best time to list their land. My response has been... yesterday. LOL. When I started out in this business 20 years ago, I told folks it was like working a teacher's schedule, busy from the end of August until mid-May. In the summer things softened as folks were on vacation and were also not fond of walking the woods in Michigan's mosquitoes and humidity. Now, most hunting land sales folks will probably agree, there is very little down time. Outdoor buyers are always up for a wander in the woods, hoping to get ahead of the next guy who's looking for the same thing.
In the past, vacant land sold either as cash or land contracts. Not many banks participated in vacant land financing, and they often were only interested in land buyers looking to build homes. Now we have banks that specialize in vacant land financing. In fact, there are banks out there now offering 30-year terms for outdoor recreational properties. I think those 2 changes have been big drivers in bringing more people into the land market.
Considering selling your land? I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.
I thought it would be fitting to share a few memories I have of him and I enjoying each other and the woods and fields of this great state.
