I'm thinking about selling my lot? GVM, What will determine my Lot's value $$ and sale probability?



Important items when selling & marketing a LOT for Sale in Austin, Texas.


  • Location, What is the specific neighborhood and street appeal.
  • What is the lot Size? How Large? How many sq. ft of lot land?
  • What is the ZONING? What could potentially be allowed by the City of Austin Development?
  • Where are the TREE issues? Are there any? How large? Where are the trees sitting? 
  • What is the general flatness or slope of the land? This could affect the new build's foundation type.
  • Pricing? Remember private primary buyers and end users will usually pay more $$ for your LOT, than spec investors, builders, assigners, and developers. Primary buyer's simply want the value to be fair and current, while investors and spec builders, need margins to earn a profit.
  • What is the Buyer Demand for next construction in the Lot's geographic area? Is it a high-end luxury, top dollar construction neighborhood, or perhaps is the lot's area more in tune with remodels and existing home upgrades? 
  • Are you willing to sell your lot via owner financing methods or would you prefer to cash out, and be done at closing and funding?
  • Does your LOT have any bonus intangibles? Is there  a View? Does the Lot back to green-space? Are there fewer immediate, imposing neighbors? Is the Lot on a private cul de sac? Is the Lot located in a desirable school district?
