Tips for Buying Land
- Know what you can handle. When it comes to taking care of land, it’s likely you’ll need equipment and other supplies to keep grass, brush, and agriculture well-kept. There’s a lot of work that goes into maintaining land!
- Get to know price per acre. At this time (March/April 2022), each acre is about $80,000 in the Rockwall and Rowlett area. This price goes up or down depending on whether you go closer or farther from the city or how close you are to prime property around Lake Ray Hubbard.
- Know when to get a price break. At about 5 acres is when the price breaks begin. The more you buy, the more of a price break you may get per acre.
- Understand if it already has water and electricity access. If the acreage doesn’t have utilities running already, this is an additional cost to keep in mind. It can be very costly to run electricity and utilities to your land, so always ask about this during your search!
- Don’t be afraid of septic systems. An easy way to add comfortability to your land without major costs is to embrace a septic system.
