Keystone State Woods, Farms and Lots
Pennsylvania spans 67 counties, from Lancaster County farmland and Philadelphia suburbs to Pocono vacation lots and the forests of Potter County. Recent market data shows a median land sale of about $59,500, roughly 134 days on market and about 14 months of supply. Small lots are common and slow: parcels under an acre sold for a median near $30,000 after about 152 days. Larger tracts of 10 to 20 acres sold for around $142,000 in about 96 days.
Pennsylvania's costs add up at closing. The transfer tax is typically 2%, 1% to the state and 1% local, and is usually split between buyer and seller. Land in the Clean and Green program can owe rollback taxes of seven years of savings plus 6% interest when its use changes. Mineral rights are commonly severed, especially in Marcellus Shale counties such as Washington, Bradford and Susquehanna and in western coal areas, so many buyers order a title search for oil, gas and coal. Either a title company or an attorney can close.
EasyLotBuyer gives you a cash offer within 24 hours on Pennsylvania land in every county. We charge no fees or commissions and pay the closing costs. Land with back taxes, liens, title problems or no road access is no problem, and we can close in as few as 7 days.

What Affects Land Value in Pennsylvania
Understanding these key factors helps you evaluate what your Pennsylvania vacant land is worth.
Location & Proximity
Land near cities, highways, and amenities commands higher prices. Remote parcels in Pennsylvania may sell for less per acre but attract buyers seeking privacy or recreational use.
Road Access & Utilities
Paved road frontage and available utilities (water, electric, sewer) significantly increase land value. Landlocked parcels or those requiring well/septic typically sell at a discount.
Zoning & Permitted Use
Residential, commercial, or agricultural zoning directly impacts what a parcel is worth. Land zoned for development in growing Pennsylvania markets often carries a premium.
Parcel Size
Smaller lots typically command higher per-acre prices, while larger tracts offer lower per-acre rates but higher total value. Pennsylvania's most active market segment varies by county.
Farmland Values in Pennsylvania
According to USDA data (2023), Pennsylvania cropland averages $9,080/acre and pastureland averages $4,090/acre. The overall average farm real estate value in Pennsylvania is $8,020/acre. These agricultural benchmarks provide context for rural land pricing, though individual parcel values depend on soil quality, water access, and improvements.
