Iowa Farmland Auction Results

March 11-17, 2018 80% Tillable Farms

 

 

Farmland Sales Summary

It was a slow week in Iowa farmland auctions last week.  There are only 3 auctions with 7 tracts to report on this week but the prices fell in line with previous weeks farmland prices.  The near future looks slow as well, the volume of farmland sales are very low right now and a perfect time for a seller to consider putting their farm on the market.  For neighborhoods that have not experienced multiple sales close together, the outlook is very good right now.  When you have a week with fewer than 5 auctions in 99 counties its easy to see the demand is building.

 

 

Average Price Of Farmland In Iowa

Last weeks averages price per acre of farmland in Iowa was $7444.30 and this week it was $8691.71.

Farmland Sales Volume In Iowa

If you look at this week’s charts below you will see our sales volume for farmland in Iowa is decreasing for 2018, not a surprising detail as January and February are typically busier months and as we move toward planting season we expect to see auctions taper off through the planting season and then gain momentum later in June or July.  This week we are reporting on only 744 acres which is the lowest volume week of the year so far and our first week under 1000 acres of 80% tillable farmland.
