Land Report April 2011 Newsletter

Consider the plight of Chantelle and Michael Sackett. In 2007, the Idaho landowners received a compliance notice from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) telling them that their waterfront property on Priest Lake was in a wetlands zone. They could either quit building their dream home and return the land to its original condition or face considerable fines. So the couple appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court, which subsequently ruled that the only way their appeal would be heard is if they first applied to the EPA for wetlands status and then were denied.

Is it any wonder the Sacketts have now appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court?

Follow the case of these landowners as well as much more in the April edition of The Land Report newsletter. For more up to the minute reports, follow The Magazine of the American Landowner on Facebook and Twitter.

Land Report March 2011 Newsletter

Take a look at this month’s edition of The Land Report newsletter, and you’ll see a wide array of opportunities to invest in land. From the pastoral – Virginia’s horse country – to the nitty gritty – Fayetteville shale gas interests – and of course the time-tested returns of Midwest farmland, land’s appeal as a tangible commodity continues to rise. No doubt this trend will only strengthen thanks to John Malone’s January purchase of more than 1 million acres, primarily in Maine but also in New Hampshire, the biggest transaction in decades.

Land Report January 2011 Newsletter

2011 has shot out of the gate in a hurry. In the last 60 days, we’ve tracked in excess of $100 million in high-profile closings. (Remember 2009? As I recall the figure about this time two years ago was closer to $100,000.)  Easements, auctions, sales – the year is off to a rousing start and some of the more notable transactions, including the sale of the N Bar Ranch, are featured in our January Land Report newsletter.

Thanks to rising prices, inflationary fears, and a strong pipeline, expect this pace to continue into the spring. For more up to the minute reports, follow The Magazine of the American Landowner on Facebook and on Twitter.

Land Report Newsletter December 2010

As 2010 winds down, the upbeat tempo of the investment quality rural land market is apparent in the comments of dozens of brokers interviewed by The Magazine of the American Landowner. We’ve featured several of these insights in our December  Land Report newsletter.

Buyers are no longer bottom feeding. Sellers are setting prices in line with market conditions. The net result is that the bid-ask spread has closed enough to generate a substantial increase in the number of transactions from coast to coast. Some of the more prominent ones are featured in the current Land Report newsletter. Also featured are emerging trends in regional markets, such as the boom in farmland prices.
