How Much Is An Acre Of Land Worth In California

Based on information collected by the United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service, in 2021 the average cost of an acre of farm land in California was about $13,860 up 7.4% from 2020. This figure comes as an average of irrigated, non irrigated, and pasture land. With the prevalence of agriculture in California’s economy, this is a great indicator of overall land value. This however can range depending on various factors including specific land use, overall property size, and of course the location.

Getting a value estimate of your land

To get a value estimate of land you currently own, there are a variety of ways you can approach this. Primarily, comparing similar property sales in close proximity will likely give you the closest range of value to expect at a sale. This is a great way to arrive at a benchmark estimate, but working with a local real estate professional alongside other professional services such as land surveyors will be your best option to find the most accurate value.
