Land for sale in Oregon
There has always been plenty of land for sale in Oregon. Up until about a year and a half ago land had the normal draw, supply and demand, location ect, but things have changed.
This all started with the popularity of Oregon in the last 4 or 5 years. The Moving to Oregon craze, the economy and a housing shortage has caused some people to look for land to build on.
Land for sale Marion County, Oregon
The average size of a lot people are looking for is about ½ acre. How many of those are there? The majority of what you see for sale is lots between 1 and 5 acres. This is great except they are limited.
The 5-7,000 city lots are already owned by builders because of there clients wanting homes built. They need the dirt or they are out of business.
Land for sale in Oregon
I have sold a bunch of land lately from 1 ½ acre commercial in Brooks to 40 acres forest in Colton. My recent sale of 2 two acre lots in Dundee went fast.
Having been raised in a family of land surveyors and foresters, everything was about the land, I learned early. I loved wood so much I was a contractor for 30 years. Land is one of my specialties. I have some listed currently around.
Creating a value on any property is more an art form than an exact science. there hasn’t been enough sales to help much with land pricing.
In many areas around if you have a 1-3-acre building site you can guess it is worth around 175,000 to 250,000 depending on location and beauty. They are all different and in someway connected to past sales in the area. Give me a call or email for my latest list of land in Oregon. al@cronemiller.com, I would love to help.
Land in Oregon and especially the Willamette Valley (since 70% of the population is there) is in someway farming land with a mix of forest.
In ancient times Lake Missoula in Montana flooded and ran across Washington and down the Columbia river and into the Willamette Valley. This flood moved a huge amount of fertile soil from 2 states away, amazing.
Some say that the Willamette valley has up to a mile of top soil in it from thies historic floods.
South of Salem we have Jory Hill. Our Jory hill silty clay soil is among the 10 best soils in the world for grapes. The land in Oregon has many uses. We have seen more and more planted in Hazelnuts with Starbucks being a big buyer with Hazelnut flavorings.
