Pricing a house with land: how acres are valued

Sellers often expect each acre to add the same value. It rarely works that way.

Buyers pay most for the first few acres: privacy, a view and room for a garden. After that, value depends on what the land can do. Open fields for horses or a vineyard add a lot. Steep woods add much less.

How I price it

I look at recent sales with similar land, not just similar houses, and walk the boundaries with you before I give you a number. The written range always shows the sales it is based on.
