Land Values in Washington: What to Know
In recent market data, land in Washington sold for a median of about $150,000, or about $115,000 per acre, across 5,774 sales in 12 months. Land sold faster than in most states, in an average of 99 days.
West of the Cascades, land near Puget Sound and the coast costs the most. King County (Seattle) sold at about $540,000 per acre and Whatcom County (Bellingham) at about $281,000. Snohomish and Clark counties run above $1,000,000 per acre and are left out. On the coast, Pacific County and Grays Harbor County sold at about $264,000 and about $250,000. In the east, the Tri Cities counties of Franklin County and Benton County sold at about $681,000 and about $464,000. The cheapest land is in the dry hills and forests of the northeast: about $4,300 per acre in Ferry County, about $6,100 in Okanogan County and about $9,700 in Stevens County.
Why small lots cost more per acre
In Washington, the median lot under 1 acre sold for about $125,000, which works out to about $468,000 per acre. Parcels of 5 to 10 acres sold for about $177,000, or about $30,000 per acre, and tracts of 100 acres or more sold for about $557,000, only about $2,900 per acre. The big tract costs more in total but far less for each acre. Small lots near Seattle, Spokane and the Tri Cities sell as home sites. Big tracts east of the Cascades sell as wheat, range or 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 Washington, water is a big question east of the Cascades: ask whether the parcel has a well or water rights. West of the mountains, check for wetlands, steep slopes, and the flood zone.
