Iowa Land Auction Prices, December 3-9, 2022
Posted on December 12, 2022 at 12:09 PM by Jim Rothermich
Sioux County takes top honors, again, with a sale at $24,000/acre. Honorable mention goes to Lyon County with three exceptionally high sales: Tract 1 at $23,450/acre, CSR2 67.7 (= $356/point); Tract 2 at $21,700/acre, CSR2 67.4 (= $340/point); Tract 3 at $21,900/acre, CSR2 67.1 (= $335/point). On a dollars per CSR2 point basis, these are extremely high prices. I know of only one other sale in the state north of $300/point. The market continues to be very strong in NW Iowa.
The 2022 selling season is winding down. Auction activity will be good next week, but then there will only be a few auctions between Christmas & New Years.
