Where are Alberta land prices going?

[Ache4Acres]

You also should remember there are many guys out there buying land with other people's money (investors, pensiom funds etc). That is who you are competing with. I have not seen a single nice sized farm sold anywhere in a 30 mile radius for the past three years around me...they just don't turn up often.

If nice land falls on your lap, you better jump or the next guy will.

Prices in the US have come down modestly but many of those prices were/are easily in the 10,000 or more range..we are a long way from that.

[QUOTE=grassfarmer;328611]Don't know - it's been that way for a long time. OK so there was a setback here in the 80's but just like the stockmarket it was a blip on the line of upward movement.





It may have been a blip in the eighties, but to anyone who bought the highs, and didn't survive in business for nearly 20 years until the highs were surpassed, it was a very big and painful blip.
