Whether it’s Deschutes County’s arid high desert, Jackson’s fertile valleys or Wallowa’s wild frontiers, Oregon’s got plenty of scenic acreage to choose from. But finding the right spot to call home isn’t just about pretty views (though those help). It’s a complex and time-consuming process that requires research skills, patience and the ability to weigh potential risks against long-term rewards. Land Boss: We buy land quickly in Oregon.
Selling Land in Oregon
A wide variety of reasons prompt individuals to sell their land, each shaped by individual circumstances and goals. For example, some sellers face financial needs and desire a quick injection of cash. Others wish to relieve the burden of property taxes and upkeep costs. Still, others prioritize environmental stewardship and sustainable living and seek buyers committed to the same values.
Despite the varied motivations for selling Oregon acreage, the sales process itself poses challenges for many owners. In particular, assessing the current value of a parcel presents considerable difficulty. It involves delving deeply into terminology brokers use to determine “price per acre” and determining how factors like location, terrain and resource rights impact value. In addition, a complex mix of local and state regulations often adds to the complexity.
Getting an accurate assessment also requires building relationships with knowledgable regional brokers tracking area activity, and real estate data. Even if prices are accurately established, marketing periods can drag on for months or years – with carrying charges for property taxes, insurance, and upkeep denting profits. To avoid this, many owners opt to partner with a local land company specializing in the market and able to leverage an existing network of buyers seeking Oregon land.
