What a difference a year made. The land market is VERY ACTIVE. Amid the hangover from the financial calamity last year - farmland emerged as a great place to invest money. Expert warnings of rising interest rates, falling crop prices, increases in production cost all roved errant. Actually in most cases the oppposite happened. Recent farm buyers ask about the return on their money but larger concerns with the certainty and safety of their money trigger investing in land. The farmland market recovered from the weakness that hit late '08, rebounding within 1-2% of last year's values according to Iowa State. Locally we have areas where prices are above last year. As with all markets - some land values are lagging. We have seen some exceptional buys in what we in the office call blended farms - cropland and pasture. Overall farmland - even medium quality land has rebounded $ 500 - 800 per acre in 2009. Now for a little bragging. We closed 14 sales in December with 5 more sold to close afer Jan 1. Looking to invest in land ? We have farms for sale - 80 acres to over 300 acres. Some outstanding investment opportunities are now available. Contact us. We look forward to helping you in 2010. |
