Land Values in Pennsylvania: What to Know
In recent market data, land in Pennsylvania sold for a median of about $60,000, or about $36,000 per acre, across 6,656 sales in 12 months. Land spent an average of 134 days on the market.
The southeast costs the most. Northampton County in the Lehigh Valley sold at about $659,000 per acre, Lehigh County at about $252,000, and the Philadelphia suburbs of Delaware County and Montgomery County at about $236,000 and about $218,000. Philadelphia itself runs above $1,000,000 per acre and is left out. The Poconos are the busiest market: Carbon County had 562 sales at about $22,000 per acre. The cheapest land is in the forests of the northern tier: about $4,900 per acre in Potter County, about $6,500 in Bradford County and about $6,600 in Clearfield County.
Why small lots cost more per acre
In Pennsylvania, the median lot under 1 acre sold for about $30,000, which works out to about $110,000 per acre. Parcels of 5 to 10 acres sold for about $95,000, or about $14,000 per acre, and tracts of 100 acres or more sold for about $450,000, only about $3,000 per acre. The big tract costs more in total but far less for each acre. Small lots near cities and in Pocono communities sell as home sites. Big wooded tracts in the north sell as hunting and timber land, 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 Pennsylvania, ask whether the oil, gas, or coal rights go with the land, and whether the lot can pass a perc test for a septic system.
