Two patterns hold across every county:
These are MLS sales only. Many large ranches sell privately, so the 100+ acre figures rest on few sales.
Northeast Texas prices eased this year after a long run-up, which gives buyers more room to negotiate on tracts that have been on the market a while. Compare a tract against sales of the same size in the same county, not against the regional average. Our Buying Land in Texas guide and Land Due Diligence Checklist cover the next steps.
Price by tract size, road frontage, water and improvements, not by the regional average. See Selling Texas Land and who pays rollback taxes.
