Show Low's land market has been on a genuine upswing for two years running, and it's not just one type of buyer driving it. Both small forested lots and larger acreage parcels are moving, which means owners aren't stuck waiting for one narrow kind of buyer to show up. That's a good position to sell from, if you're ready.
Rising prices don't erase the cost of holding land, though. A vacant lot in Show Low's high country still needs defensible space cleared around it to keep fire risk down, and snow and seasonal weather can make it harder to check on a property you're not living near. Add a property tax bill that doesn't care whether the land is producing anything, and holding costs quietly eat into the gains a rising market is supposed to hand you.
A lot of Show Low parcels are owned by people who live in the Valley or out of state and bought the lot as a future cabin site that never got built. If that's your situation, a rising market is the moment to lock in a sale rather than keep paying to hold a plan that never happened. We buy the parcel as it sits, forested or cleared, with or without utilities nearby.
Give us the basics on your parcel β where it is, roughly how big it is, and whether it's forested, cleared or has any improvements. We check what's actually sold nearby in Show Low recently and send back a cash offer within 24 hours. There's no obligation attached to that number, and no cost to ask for one.
Because Show Low's market has both small-lot and acreage buyers active, timing a listing right can be tricky β you're guessing which type of buyer finds your lot first. Selling direct removes that guesswork. You get one clear number and a closing date you control, whether prices keep climbing or not. Either way, the offer doesn't expire the moment prices tick up or down.

Our own recorded sales for Show Low and the surrounding area, most recent 2026-08-28. Price per acre falls as parcels get bigger, so the sizes are kept separate — a blended number would be misleading. Blank means we do not have enough sales to say honestly.
Land moves in Show Low. Our records show 557 parcels sold in and around Show Low, in Navajo County, over the last two years, the most recent on 2026-08-28. A typical sale was 2.4 acres at about $76,000.
The mix matters as much as the price. 7% of Show Low sales were parcels of 40 acres or more, and 22% fell between 10 and 40 acres. If your parcel is bigger than what usually trades here, expect a thinner buyer pool and a longer wait on the open market.
Price per acre falls as parcels get bigger, so there is no single Show Low number. In our records, parcels of 40 acres or more sold for $990 to $1,980 an acre across 41 sales; parcels between 10 and 40 acres sold for $750 to $5,330 an acre across 120 sales; parcels between 2 and 10 acres sold for $8,400 to $54,500 an acre across 143 sales. That is the middle half of sales in each size β a quarter went for less, a quarter for more, depending on access, terrain and whether the parcel has power nearby.
Prices have risen. The median went from $31,100 an acre in 2025 to $34,500 in 2026, a 11% up move. We price off today's sales, not last year's.
