Rural land data for Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi now on Real Estate Center website
COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (Real Estate Center) – Rural land price data for Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi are now on the Real Estate Center’s website.
Users can access analyses of prices and tract sizes regionally and statewide going back to fourth quarter 2005. Statewide analyses of land market trends are also available.
“We have the only data of its kind for those states," said Center Research Economist Dr. Charles Gilliland. “It’s a public service we provide at no cost."
Center Assistant Research Scientist Dr. Erin Kiella said many other publicly available land data use responses from surveys. The data are often unable to capture the entire market and may be biased.
“Our data aggregate actual market data and therefore truly represent the local markets," Kiella said. “They can help potential buyers and sellers of land get an idea of market trends taking place either on a regional or statewide basis."
Gilliland said the reports indicate past general conditions in these markets and do not represent prices or values of any particular farm or ranch.
“They do provide a general guide to land market price levels and size trends," he said.
This information is in addition to rural land data for Texas, its regions, and its land market areas going back to fourth quarter 1971.
Land data can be downloaded for free on the Center’s website.
