Land Values in Arizona: What to Know
Recent market data shows a median land sale in Arizona of about $175,000, or about $220,400 per acre, across 13,736 sales in 12 months. Land took an average of 139 days to sell. More than half of those sales were lots under 1 acre, which pulls the statewide per acre figure far above what rural acreage sells for.
The highest prices per acre are in the counties where most sales are small lots in town. Yuma County is at about $880,300 per acre and Pima County, home to Tucson, at about $487,000. Pinal County, between Phoenix and Tucson, is at about $103,800. Open desert and high plateau land costs far less: Cochise County in the southeast is about $3,500 per acre, Apache County in the northeast about $11,100, and Mohave County about $15,500.
Why small lots cost more per acre
Arizona shows how fast the price per acre falls with size. Parcels of 1 to 2 acres sold for about $54,900 per acre, 5 to 10 acres for about $15,000, and 20 to 50 acres for about $1,100. Tracts of 20 to 50 acres had a median sale of only $40,000, because many are remote desert parcels without power or paved roads. Lots under 1 acre are left out of the per acre figures, since their median is above $1,000,000 per acre and likely includes sales with buildings.
How to estimate what your land is worth
Look at recent sales of land like yours in the same area, and pick parcels of a similar size. A county median is only a midpoint. Your own price moves up or down with road access, utilities at or near the land, the slope and soil, and any flood zone on the parcel. Land you cannot reach by a legal road is the hardest to sell. In the Arizona desert, also ask if there is a legal water source or a well, as this changes what buyers will pay.
