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 to $3.85.
The eight (8) competitive market sales and average price/sq ft are: two (2) lakefront at $3.76/sq ft, two (2) lake view at $3.85/sq ft, and four (4) no-lake view at $2.95/sq ft.
