The Resilience of Land Sales Amid Market Uncertainty

In a season where interest rates are up, home sales are cooling, and inflation continues to reshape consumer behavior, one asset has remained surprisingly steady—vacant land.
At Nunn Land Sales, we’ve seen firsthand how land continues to attract buyers, even in uncertain times. While traditional real estate faces headwinds, rural land offers something different: simplicity, flexibility, and long-term value.
:chart_with_downwards_trend: Why Real Estate Is Slowing—But Land Isn’t
Many markets have seen a slowdown in residential home purchases due to rising borrowing costs and tightening credit. But land transactions often don’t require a mortgage. With low down payments and flexible financing options, vacant land remains accessible to everyday buyers—even when banks are cautious.
:camping: Who’s Buying Right Now?
Even in today’s climate, we’re working with:
  • Investors looking to park capital in a stable, tangible asset
  • Homesteaders wanting space for gardening, farming, or off-grid living
  • Dreamers securing a future getaway or retirement plan
This range of buyers proves one thing: land appeals across demographics and economic situations.
:chart_with_upwards_trend: Land as a Hedge Against Uncertainty
Unlike homes that require maintenance, tenants, or rehab, land is low-carry and low-risk. It doesn’t depreciate with chipped paint or rising utility costs. It simply is. And in a world full of volatility, that’s comforting.
Plus, we’re seeing more people view land as a hedge—something they can sit on, develop later, or sell when prices rise.
:bulb: What This Means for You
If you’ve been on the fence about buying land, this might actually be the right time. With some people pulling back from large purchases, there’s less competition—yet the long-term fundamentals haven’t changed.
Land is still affordable.
 Still available.
 Still resilient.
