Land Values in Missouri: What to Know
Missouri does not make land sale prices public, so the figures on this page are asking prices: what sellers list land for, not what buyers paid. In recent market data the median listing asks about $85,000, or about $35,000 per acre, across 9,005 listings. Land that sold spent an average of 132 days on the market.
Asking prices per acre are highest in the counties around the cities. Greene County (Springfield) asks about $240,000 per acre, Clay County on the north side of Kansas City about $199,000, and Boone County (Columbia) about $125,000. Prices are lowest in the forested hills of the southeast Ozarks, where tracts are big and towns are small: about $2,300 per acre in Reynolds County and about $4,300 in Iron County. Lake of the Ozarks land in Camden County sits in between at about $54,000 per acre, and that county has the most listings, 516.
Why small lots cost more per acre
Missouri sale prices are not public, so compare asking prices by size. The median listing under 1 acre asks about $43,000. A 5 to 10 acre parcel asks about $100,000, and a tract of 100 acres or more asks about $982,000. The big tract costs more in total but far less for each acre. A lot near a town is priced as a home site, with road frontage and power close by. A big Ozark tract is priced as timber or pasture, so each extra acre adds much less.
How to estimate what your land is worth
Start with recent sales of land like yours: the same county, a similar size, and a similar use. Then adjust for what buyers check first. Legal road access, power and water at the road, how much of the parcel sits in a flood zone, and how steep or wet the ground is can each move the price a lot. In Missouri, listings are the only public price signal, and land often sells below its asking price, so treat nearby listings as a ceiling, not a value.
