Been looking into where the cheapest land in the us actually is, and stumbled on some wild data. Apparently you can still grab acres for under $10k in certain states if you know where to look. New Mexico and Wyoming are crazy cheap - we're talking $5k-$6k per acre range. Like literally found listings for under $1k per acre in some spots. The whole Midwest and Southern states seem to have the best deals right now. Wyoming, North Dakota, Oklahoma - those are where the cheapest land in the us tends to pop up. What's interesting is that even though the per-acre prices look identical to old market reports, the actual cheapest land in the us is still scattered across similar regions. Mississippi and West Virginia keep showing up with solid acreage under $10k total. Montana's another one - saw properties going for $5-7k per acre depending on location. The weird part? Average prices vary wildly even within states. You could find a plot for $750 in New Mexico but the state average is still like $194k because of other listings. I think the strategy most people use is targeting smaller towns in these affordable states - Glendive, Belen, those kind of places. If you're actually hunting for the cheapest land in the us right now, probably worth checking landsearch or similar sites directly since prices shift constantly. Apparently land investment people swear by it as inflation protection too. Anyone actually bought land in these cheaper states? Curious what the experience was like.
