Methodology Used to Determine How Much One Acre of Land Costs in Florida

This map shows the average sales price for vacant residential, unimproved agricultural, timber, and unclassified vacant land in Florida by acre. 

This data represents sales of raw land – land that is unimproved.

For more accurate results, we excluded land sales to large home buyers like D.R. Horton as many times as production home buyers have invested tens of thousands of dollars into the transaction that is not reflected in the sales price.

Only sales between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024 were counted. 

Sales data was supplied by the Florida Department of Revenue and reflects both on-market and off-market sales.
