Land Values in Wisconsin: What to Know
In recent market data, land in Wisconsin sold for a median of about $93,000, or about $34,000 per acre, across 9,092 sales in 12 months. Land spent an average of 173 days on the market.
The southeast and the cities cost the most. Dane County (Madison) sold at about $481,000 per acre, Waukesha County at about $258,000, Milwaukee County at about $182,000, and Brown County (Green Bay) at about $167,000. The cheapest land is in the Northwoods, where forest tracts are large: about $3,500 per acre in Price County, about $3,900 in Rusk County and about $4,500 in Taylor County. Lake country in Vilas County sold at about $27,000, and Burnett County had 260 sales at about $11,000 per acre.
Why small lots cost more per acre
In Wisconsin, the median lot under 1 acre sold for about $65,000, which works out to about $163,000 per acre. Parcels of 5 to 10 acres sold for about $91,000, or about $14,000 per acre, and tracts of 100 acres or more sold for about $700,000, only about $4,800 per acre. The big tract costs more in total but far less for each acre. Small lots near Madison and Milwaukee sell as home sites. Big tracts sell as farmland in the south or as forest in the north, 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 the north, lake or river frontage changes the price more than acreage.
