Every price on this page is an asking price on an active land listing, taken from the MLS listings as of our latest check. Acreage is the lot size the listing states. Asking price per acre is a listing's asking price divided by its stated acres, so it is an asking figure and nothing more. A median needs three listings or it is left out.
Each row of the acreage and city tables below opens the listings behind it, so a count can be checked against the lots it counts. Every acreage band and every city that has a land listing is listed.
This page leaves a lot out on purpose. It does not read zoning, soil, road frontage or remarks, because the MLS listing for land carries no sub-type and the page does not guess. It says nothing about what a lot could be used for or who it is for. What it can do is count the listings, size them by stated acres and show where each tract is.
The cards under the chart show the newest land listings first. The search above them looks through every active listing, so a lot that is not among the cards can still be found by city, price or size.
The most land listings are in the 1 to 5 acres band, with 45 of the 115 that state an acreage, 39% of them. The median asking price there is $425,000.
