Parkland County Acreage Listings

🏘️ New Listings Fall 36% – Less Inventory, More Demand

Only 64 new acreage listings hit the market in September 2025, a steep 36% decline compared to the same time last year

. Year-to-date, new listings remain steady at 834, just slightly down (0.24%) from 2024.

Fewer new listings paired with more sales mean reduced inventory, which could tighten the market further heading into the fall.

For Sellers:

• Now is the time to list. With fewer competing properties and strong buyer demand, well-priced acreages are receiving attention quickly.

For Buyers:

• Be ready to act fast. With limited options available and faster sales, it’s critical to have financing in place and work with an agent who can alert you to new opportunities quickly.
