Colorado is considered as one of the top destinations in the United States real estate market for ranch property and acreage and has a great supply of these wide open spaces.  There are a couple of strong drivers in the marketplace right now. Investor’s and second home and luxury real estate purchases.  Land – wide open space still for sale, and by all accounts, plenty of it in many parts of Colorado.  Land is an excellent investment. Seems to be the preferred investment of choice for many for a couple of reasons.  The 2013 is still seeing lower than average market prices for acreages.

Top considerations for purchases of acreages are pointing towards location when evaluating homesites in master planned communities.  Next in preferences were views from the homesite – (waterfront, mountain, golf & wooded), amenities, price and actual size of home site.

The Value and Benefits of Acreage Compared to Other or Traditional Investments

Acreage is considered a safe, stable long term investment nationwide, according to and informal survey by landthink.com.  The economy is not considered either stable or certain. Both are premier considerations in evaluating paper investments such as stocks.  One of the biggest advantages to purchasing land is not just the investment. But the recreational enjoyment of the land during ownership.  Those in the city or suburbs in communities with average size lots enjoy the opportunity to escape the city heat and congestion by taking family time weekends to the high county in more secluded, scenic mountain lands.
