Land for Sale in Oregon

After many years the secrets of Land for sale in Oregon are getting out. I guess it doesn’t rain here all the time.

With about 70% of the population of Oregon living in the Willamette Valley it makes this area popular. For those that are looking for land it creates many opportunities.

The rich farmland in the Willamette Valley area was created by the many Missoula, Montana floods during the last ice age depositing up to 100 feet of topsoil in some areas of the valley.

The land for sale in Oregon will be very diverse, there should be something for everyone.

With most the population in the Willamette Valley it leaves Oregon with many areas of few people. Much like any state, the closer to areas of population the higher the price.

The land for sale in Oregon will be priced in a couple different ways. If is allowed to have a home built on it, some of the value will be as a building site. If it is farmland, price will be based on size and what quality of soils is found on it. I have building sites with large stands of Douglas Fir timber. Timber increases in value at 7.5% per year.

As you can see there are many different kinds of land around. Most land is different from others; it is pretty hard to compare at times. I have many different land listings around the area. Terrain, proximity to town, size, soils and many other differences makes pricing property more an artwork than an exact science.

This is one reason the land for sale in Oregon has increased in popularity.

There have been many changes in Oregon when it comes to House and Senate bills. The rental cap bill, Senate Bill 608 creates some problems for the landlord. There is a rent cap section as well as eviction changes that will certainly concern investors.

House Bill 2001 creates opportunities for more housing so the land within the urban growth boundary may have additional value.
