What This Means for You

Demand is concentrated in small lots (0–5 acres), which are capturing a significant per-acre premium; the $/acre for this segment shows strong year-over-year and multi-year growth. However, the median transaction price declined versus Q2 2025 and Q3 2024, suggesting higher-volume sales at lower ticket levels or a mix of smaller assets.

For buyers: limited inventory in larger lots and concentration in sub‑5‑acre parcels implies competition — act with efficient due diligence and quick offers if targeting premium lots. For sellers: despite some compression in the quarterly median, the SP/LP remains high (~91%), indicating listed prices are still achievable when assets are properly positioned.

Developers and small investors should prioritize sourcing in the 0–5 acre segment and consider parcel aggregation strategies in target areas. Sustained growth in $/acre in smaller lots suggests opportunities for subdivision or premium lot sales.
