How much is my land worth?
Estimate land value based on acreage, land type, and market conditions. Helps determine fair market value by using state-average pricing adjusted for land type and current market conditions.

How it works
Land value is estimated by taking your acreage, multiplying by the average market price per acre in your state (adjusted for land type), and applying a market adjustment factor to account for current conditions. When you select a state, the market price per acre prefills with that state's median value. When you select a land type, the price per acre adjusts based on typical land type premiums/discounts. The market adjustment factor defaults to 0 but can be manually adjusted to account for local market trends. Acreage defaults to 10 acres. Formula: estimatedValue.
See the formula
= (acreage × pricePerAcre) × (1 + (marketAdjustment / 100))
Assumptions and limitations
- Acreage defaults to 10 acres
- State selection prefills market price per acre from the state average (USDA NASS Land Values 2026)
- Land type selection uses the USDA state average for cropland or pasture where USDA publishes one
- Market adjustment factor defaults to 0% and allows manual adjustment for local trends without re-triggering state/land-type prefills
- Price per acre should come from recent comparable sales; the state prefill is a USDA-based average, not a comparable
- Land type significantly affects per-acre values
- No improvements (buildings, utilities) included in base calculation
- Market adjustment reflects current trend (up/down from baseline comparables)
- Does not account for special use permits, zoning restrictions, or environmental factors
- Per-acre values vary widely by use, location and access; USDA NASS publishes state farmland averages
Results are estimates, not appraisals. Use them as a starting point and confirm with local comparable sales, a licensed appraiser, or your county assessor.
