Episode: Recreational Land Market Heats Up
Description: The recreational land market in Wisconsin and Minnesota is booming, with demand driven by buyers from nearby cities seeking weekend getaways or future residences, says Weiss Realty’s Chad Garteski. Prices have nearly tripled in five years, with Buffalo County hunting land reaching $8,000–$10,000 per acre. Many buyers, often professionals reinvesting business proceeds, view land as both a lifestyle purchase and investment, frequently using 1031 exchanges. Sellers typically list due to life changes, while tax and conservation programs influence demand. Well-priced properties now sell quickly, and Garteski advises buyers to get in early, even with smaller parcels.See omnystudio.com...
