Land for sale by owner — lots, acreage, farms & ranches

Selling land by owner

Land buyers are investors, builders, neighbors and families with a plan. They buy on facts, so the best land listings read like a due-diligence package:

Price land with per-acre comparables of similar size, access and utilities — small parcels usually sell for more per acre than large tracts. Our land selling guide walks through valuation, marketing to builders and investors, and closing.

Owner financing for land

Banks lend less readily on raw land, which is why many land sales use owner financing: a down payment plus a note and mortgage or deed of trust. It can widen your buyer pool and create monthly income. Read owner financing explained and use a real estate attorney to document the deal.

Buying land from an owner

Verify ownership and liens with a title company, confirm access and utilities yourself, check FEMA flood maps, and never pay a deposit to anyone who refuses a title-company escrow.
