Tell us where your land is and we'll price it against real land sales near you. Smaller lots get a ballpark on the spot — bigger ones Nathan prices himself and calls you the same day.
Any number here is a rough estimate — it won't be perfect. We're pricing from nearby sales without seeing your land. Access, title, terrain and zoning all move the number. Talk to us for a real offer.
Before you ask for your own number, here is the yardstick: what vacant parcels of each size actually closed for across Arizona, per acre. Price per acre drops as parcels get bigger, so the sizes are kept apart.
| Parcel size | Sales | Typical price per acre | Time to sell |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 acres and up | 1462 | $660 – $3,000 | about 122 days |
| 10 to 40 acres | 3076 | $1,120 – $9,920 | about 112 days |
| 2 to 10 acres | 7301 | $7,210 – $72,900 | about 103 days |
| Under 2 acressmall in-town lots | 9157 | $24,800 – $328,000 | about 91 days |

The county and the size of the parcel decide most of the price. Find your county, then the column that matches your acreage.

How much is my land worth? Your Arizona land is worth roughly what nearby vacant parcels of the same size sold for in the last year or two, and that number swings by a factor of a hundred depending on the county and the acreage. A large parcel in Apache County sells for a tiny fraction per acre of what a small lot inside one of Pima County's cities brings, and the tables on this page show every county and size band. Enter your parcel number in the form at the top of this page and we will tell you where yours lands, free, with no obligation to sell.
The figures on this page come from vacant-land sales recorded across Arizona over the last 24 months, counting sales of half an acre and up, and each table shows its own sale counts. They are sold prices, not asking prices, and they exclude parcels with a house or mobile home on them. If you want the long version of how a comp is built and why the price per acre falls as parcels get bigger, read how we calculate what Arizona land is worth. This page is the short version with the numbers.
Price per acre depends on parcel size more than anything else. Small lots carry the roads, power and legal subdivision work that make them buildable, so they sell for far more per acre than raw acreage. Statewide, over the last 24 months, the most sales were under 2 acres, then 2 to 10 acres, then 10 to 40 acres, then 40 acres and up, and the statewide table above gives the count for each band, counting sales of half an acre and up. Most of the under-2-acre sales are city subdivision lots in Maricopa, Pima and Pinal counties, and they sell by the lot, not the acre. The same table shows the typical price per acre in each band, and it drops sharply as the parcels get bigger.
So "how much is an acre of land in Arizona" has no single answer. An acre inside a Phoenix subdivision and an acre of grazing land outside St. Johns are different products that happen to share a unit. The full statewide and county tables, with the sale counts behind each number, are on our Arizona land prices per acre page.
The county table above gives the typical price per acre for 2-to-10-acre parcels, the band most rural owners hold, with the 10-to-40 and 40-plus bands beside it. A dash means too few sales in that band to give an honest range, because a median of six sales is a guess, not a number.
Two things jump out. First, Mohave County has the most rural sales in the state (the Sales counted column of the county table above has the number) and some of the lowest prices, because the old 1960s-era subdivisions around Golden Valley, Dolan Springs and Yucca put hundreds of thousands of lots on the market. If you own one, our Mohave County seller page explains why those lots trade the way they do. Second, Pinal County's 40-acre parcels sell for many times what Apache County's do per acre, because Pinal sits between Phoenix and Tucson and gets farm and development buyers that the northeast corner never sees.
The county median is the starting point. Five things move an individual parcel off it, in roughly this order of weight.
Legal access. A parcel with no recorded easement to a public road is worth a fraction of its neighbor with one. Arizona requires sellers of unsubdivided land in unincorporated areas to disclose access in writing under A.R.S. 33-422, and buyers read that affidavit. If this is your situation, selling landlocked property in Arizona covers what it does to price.
Road condition. Paved, county-maintained gravel, or a two-track that washes out in monsoon season. Each step down costs money.
Power and water. A lot with a utility pole at the corner sells faster than one where the nearest line is half a mile away and a service extension is a five-figure quote. Wells, water hauling and whether the area sits in an Active Management Area all matter.
Zoning and minimum lot size. A 10-acre parcel in a district with a 36-acre minimum cannot be split and may not be buildable at all without a variance.
Title. Back taxes, a lien, a deceased owner still on the deed, or a shared well with no written agreement all come off the price or stall the sale. None of them stop a sale; they just change who the buyer is.
That depends on what you are trading. A cash buyer like us typically closes in 7 to 21 days, pays below retail, and takes the parcel with whatever problems it has. An agent listing takes 6 to 18 months on rural Arizona land and costs a commission, usually 10 percent on parcels under six figures, negotiable down toward 6 percent on bigger ones. Selling it yourself runs 9 to 24 months and costs your time. The four routes are compared step by step in how to sell vacant land in Arizona, and the time question gets its own treatment in how long it takes to sell vacant land.
One more number worth knowing: 35.8 percent of Arizona's 502,163 vacant parcels are owned by someone whose tax bill is mailed to another state. If that is you, you are not an outlier, and nothing about the sale requires you to be here.
Put your parcel number or address in the form at the top of this page. We look up the sales near it in the same database this page is built from and send you a range, and if you want it, a written cash offer. If the data is too thin to price honestly, we say so instead of making one up.
We price your parcel against 65,000 Arizona land sales from the last few years — the same numbers we use to buy.
We hold records on 501,000 Arizona parcels, so we price your lot — not a county average that ignores where you actually are.
If there aren't enough nearby sales to be honest about, we tell you that instead of making a number up. Then we price it by hand.
