This is the fifth straight year <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> saw small land sales volume increase. During the same time frame, the average price per acre declined 2.2 percent year-over-year to <span class=\"xn-money\">$5,521<\/span> an acre. This is the first time total dollar volume topped <span class=\"xn-money\">$1 billion<\/span>. The definition of a &#8220;small&#8221; land sale varies from region to region but generally is considered to be a land sale of 200 acres or less. The exception is Far West Texas, where 500 to 8,000 acres qualifies as a small land sale. <\/p>\n<p>Strong small land sales growth was evident across all regions of the state, with small land purchases in Far West Texas and <span class=\"xn-location\">West Texas<\/span> experiencing annual gains more than 50 percent. Small land sales in the <span class=\"xn-location\">Austin<\/span>-Waco-Hill Country area experienced the smallest gains at 0.12 percent.<\/p>\n<p>As demand for small land tracts continued to increase, the average tract size for small land sales in <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> for 2017 remained unchanged from 2016 at 36 acres. <span class=\"xn-location\">Northeast Texas<\/span> and the Gulf Coast-Brazos Bottom areas were the only regions that experienced increases in average price per acre, increasing 5 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Charles Gilliland<\/span>, economist with the Real Estate Center at <span class=\"xn-org\">Texas A&amp;M University<\/span>, commented: &#8220;Statewide, the price per acre for small land sales decreased slightly from 2016 to 2017. This could be an indication that buyers are seeking out bargains in lower priced locations in popular regions. For example, the Hill Country saw less land sale activity in <span class=\"xn-location\">Travis County<\/span> compared to <span class=\"xn-location\">Comanche County<\/span>, where price per acre between the two differ.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lybbert concluded, &#8220;Land is a hot commodity in <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span>, and we continue to see the market for acreage almost as competitive as the residential housing market. As population growth continues, we expect to see the demand for rural land continue to increase.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>About the Texas Small Land Sales Report <br \/><\/b>The Texas Small Land Sales Report analyzes small land sales data and trends across seven regions of <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> utilizing survey data aggregated by the Real Estate Center at <span class=\"xn-org\">Texas A&amp;M University<\/span>.
