Land is going for 15k an acre here, or was before interest rates increased. My brother just sold 22 acres at 14k with only a well and gotta make a powerline right of way. Little chance of any kind of internet.
17 acres is 5100.00 an acre too much.

What county? Chances are it is deep and steep for that price. Believe it or not East tn. Has become a Mecca for out of staters. We can't afford our own land now.

Probably too much and it probably won't get cheaper. Last time I turned down an offer to purchase because of price, five years later I found myself wishing it was for sale at twice the price.

In humphryes county land is running around $10k an acre so buyer be where .
No I feel some what lucky. My northern boarder is in a river. Great land and hard to believe I've gotten it for that.
I saw the other day that Ag land in the Midwest (IL & IA) have sold in the 20-30K acre range. I couldn't imagine buying 100-500 acre tracks at that price.

There is nothing that can justify that price but the market and an impatient buyer in East Tennessee. I choose not to play and save.

What part of Humphreys County? I know large hilly timber tracts that didn't sell at $1,700/acre, and that's in some of the better deer hunting areas.

Wow, in the hills between KY Lake and the Buffalo River Bottoms, you almost can't give land away. Perhaps that's because so much of those hills' timber was damaged (flattened) by the hurricane in 2019.

I'm available for any free land.
Were can I find some of this land? I'm willing to drive the 6.5 hrs from my end of the state for a cheap hunting land.
5100/acre doesn't sound horrible. Here in my area it runs between 10k-20k+ and that's an hour south of Nashville. Up on the plateau in remote areas it seems to be running 2k+ last time I was looking. Price really depends on how many people want the land and how much they'll pay. One area can't really be compared to another.

Boy... its a weird market time for raw land... just for kicks, I pulled up realtracs in my area. Found a 8ac lot down the road from the 78ac I bought 4yrs ago. They are asking $24,000 per acre. I paid $3150 per acre for mine. A 200ac farm about a mile away sold last year in 7 or 8 large tracts and brought $7500 per acre.
I suspect real land values are in the $8 to $10g range per acre for small tracts (10ac or less), and still $7500 per acre for larger stuff. But this area is only 15 minutes away from a city with 150,000 or so people, and 40 min from Nashville. I wouldn't be surprised if land values don't go up another 20% in the next couple years, but likewise, I wouldn't be surprised if they fall by 30 to 40%, as they seem awfully inflated in my area

Its the only thing their not making anymore of, so whats it worth to you.
I wouldn't count on prices dropping without some kind of financial crisis that forces people to dump unnecessary mortgages. That will happen at some point but I sure wouldn't count on it happening in the near future. If there's land you want right now and can afford right now, then there's no better time than right now to buy it.
