The below graph depicts the average DOM (days on market) and the average sold to list price ratio. In other words based on April data, sellers of vacant land might expect to receive, on average, 90% of the list price when their property sells. ![]()
The next graph reflects the average CDOM (cumulative days on market) and the sales price to original list price ratio. As you can see according to April sales data, sellers of vacant land received, on average, 84% of the list price when their property sold. This tells us that the longer the property remains on the market, the less the seller might expect to receive when their property sells. The key is to price it right at the beginning.
The following chart shows the average list price and the average sold price of vacant land listings. ![]()

The next graph shows Months of Inventory based on "Pended" sales, if no new listings come on the market. We are still looking at an almost 2 1/2-year supply of vacant land listings. If you are considering selling vacant land, you may want to wait for a better market if you can. If you can't wait, you will want to price it right to sell in the market in which we currently find ourselves.
