My research from 01-01-2016 to 03-01-2021 of 133 ownership transfers of class 1, vacant land reports eight (8) competitive market sales. Price per sq ft ranges from $2.95/sq ft to $3.85/sq ft.
The eight (8) competitive market sales and averaged price/sq ft are two (2) lakefront $3.76/sq ft, two (2) lake view $3.85/sq ft and four (4) no lake view $2.95/sq ft.
After making comparable adjustments, such as soil conditions, percolation, view, location including road type and distance from lake and viability for new construction, my opinion of value is $2.10/sq ft.
