    You can talk bubble, its going down, but that is all it is, an opinion that is most probably incorrect. Land will continue to rise in value. 7% per year, best long term stable investment ever.

    Its not going down.
    I hope you are right, lots of us OLD guys will be getting out of this GAME. Here young guns nearly fighting over every rent/sale.

      It happens fast. Smart people get out sit on sidelines or watch the train wreck that will happen.


      So I would have been stoopid to take it at the current prices if I had the opportunity? I can tell you this much, my head would have said yes, buy it, but my gut would have been arguing no. I probably would have tried to buy it because land half a mile from your yard doesn't come up for sale everyday. I/we may never get another chance at it in my lifetime. Unless I offer the guy more(another reason to have my head examined). Would have hoped to pay it off quick and save money on interest costs to reduce the acquisition cost.

        Maybe more specific, over the long term it will trend upward. An investors dream.

          land does have corrections up and down.And for those who have been saying a correction down for the last 5 years I am sure eventually you will get it right.But in the past when things hit the fan in farming there was only very local people in the market to buy it.So very few had the ability to buy.This is not true any more. much more money around that will hold up a total crash like we had in the 80s.So if your waiting to gobble up cheap land that you pay for in one crop it ain't going to happen.As long as the population in sask continues to grow land is a very good long term investment.People bring money... money brings people.

            newguy, define cheap. The bar for land prices has been raised dramatically here so even a small correction won't make land "cheap".

            But keep some powder dry!

              In this area I would say land never dropped it just didn't sell for a while other than the odd 1/4 then back to selling and at higher prices.

                Wiseguy is spot on correct. The numbers don't add up to purchase land at these prices. But they will get higher because of the outside money from countries short on land and other resources wanting the land.
                Farming is actually in complete disarray governments aren't owned by farmers they are owned by you know who. Therefore they want the land to not belong to family farms.

                  still better than investing in a brand new 4wd or air seeder or combine. bought a half section across the road with yard site and house for less than new john deer 4wd. have no use for new ****ing iron or the big payments on it but buying land has never been a regret on our farm.

                        But keep That is right.But I seen 90 thousand quarters go down to 40 back when things went bad.Just saying that will not happen in that kind of extreme.
