Land for Sale in Texas – It is 2010, so how’s the market?

Are you thinking of investing in land for sale in Texas?

It's the beginning of another year, and many wonder what's the status of the real estate market in Texas. As almost everyone admits, Texas was not hit hard like many of the other areas of the country as a result of the recent economic downturn due to excessive liquidity provided to the homebuyers as a result of Wall Street's hunger for assets than can be securitized. That hunger has temporarily subsided for now, and buyers and lenders now are in a market with less liquidity, meaning less buyers, but also, less sellers.

When liquidity tightens, banks underwriting guidelines become stricter, the review process for loans becomes more thorough, more down payment is required, appraisals are scrutinized, and borrowers generally have a more difficult time qualifying for a loan. As a result buyers must be more qualified to obtain a loan, or they are cash buyers, and yes, the home market even affects the lending market for ranchland. Overall this translates to fewer buyers in the market which would normally mean declining sales prices, but in certain parts of Texas this does not necessarily hold true.

Why is land for sale in Texas in such high demand?

I've noticed that in certain parts of Texas, particularly, land for sale in Texas Hill Country in the vicinity from San Antonio to Austin, and the surrounding areas, that prices have remained relatively stable compared to the pre-2008 economic downturn. Some of this may be, in part, due to what seems to be a decrease in good grade A properties being offered for sale.

Relative to ranch land for sale in Texas, although there are many properties for sale, the numbers of high quality, fairly priced properties, that provide an opportunity for a good investment return are less plentiful, and actually becoming much more difficult to find. There are alternatives to searching and finding a high quality ranch property, but the method that works most efficiently by getting maximum utilization of your time and produces the best results by ultimately finding that high grade property is the preferred method by many.
