Like Seth is saying, you couldn't afford to do that move now. Or if you still could afford it, it would only be because of the previous house you had before the outrageous prices.

I personally would love to downsize the house and increase the property. I just can't pay what they want. What I paid for my house in 13' is what a single wide sells for today. 11 years and my house has increased 4x the price. The average income has only increased 3% a year. Math ain't mathing

I work 60 to 70 hours most weeks, make very good money (not counting what my wife makes) and we can't come close to even touching a decent house. I gave up the idea of owning land as it seems like a good roof over our head may be a big feat in itself. This has all exploded in the past 4 years post covid. I use to believe working your ass off and being smart with your money would lead to great financial stability in this land of opportunity. I no longer believe that.
I’m with you on this but I truly believe there are still some wrinkles in the market. Now I know Ohio isn’t like Florida or Iowa but I believe you can still find some ground and some solid houses that are all relative to the hard work and dedication you put fourth towards your family and yourself. I found 18 acres with a 4/3 in between essentially Tampa and port charlotte for about 465k. Just gotta keep looking and stay motivated. While yes the market is inflated and as blown out of proportion it can be, there’s still some decent ground out there and those 60/70hr work weeks will eventually pay off buddy! Move down here if you’re okay with shooting goats with antlers and pigs😂 SIDE NOTE: I’ll pull the weeds off the Winke property all spring and summer if I can hunt an acre of it. Bout all I can afford now lol

I'd be in an Atlantic coastal state somewhere in a heartbeat if I didn't have family and a business here.

Very cheap. I just looked briefly at another 68 acres. It had been on the market four days. I called my agent and told her to make an offer at asking price. It was already pending at nearly double the asking price! Nice piece of ground but only for hunting. Farm wise, not so much aside from a small pasture. The market has gone insane. They had an open house showing with 50+ visitors two days after listing…
I wonder if the buyer is out of state

Same crazy crap down here because of the Toyota battery plant. They want 2,275,500 for 49.76 ac, that is almost 56,000 an acre.

They bought the land in 2017 for 290,000

Just remember Bill sold it ~2 yrs ago for 3.5M.

The scale is relative to the area. When some widow here is given 2-3k an acre for her back ground, two plots and a hard sided blind are haphazardly placed anywhere and then the price is 6-8k.....its business thats working.

You guys catching the small 8-20 ac hunting listings that are picking up in popularity? Blind, plot ,big deer pic approach applies....and they're selling for 70-100k based on the fear of missing out. Most I've noted were part of a bigger piece that didn't sell so they subdivded for even more money.

350 acres of our AEP hunting lease was bought by a Mennonite and after he timbered the crap out of it he broke it up into 5-6 pieces. Not only did he make a ton of money in the timber but he stands to make a ton in selling off the property even without the mineral rights. 😳

I have deeds for my farm going back to the 1830s. The value was basically flat for the first 100+ years, only increasing with the addition by the value of better, newer buildings. The value of land during that time was based on the value of gold and the value of the crops the farm could produce. From when dad bought it from grandma in 1946 until I bought it (in 3 lots between the late 80's to the early 2000s) it increased approximately 20 times. now since I bought it it has increased again between 10 and 15 times.

The current value of land has nothing to do with what it can produce, it is more about declining value of the dollar and an increase in the number of people who want to own land for a variety of reasons.

That’s very interesting!!
