This represents some $155 million and 30,000 acres of land and rural real estate sold across 24 states. August 2018 sales activity by REALTORS© Land Institute Members participating in the program increased by 13 percent over the previous month and 7 percent compared to sales volume from the same period in 2017.

Congratulations to HomeLand Properties’ Andy Flack, ALC, in Huntsville, TX, whose sale of 3,132 acres in East Texas’ Tarkington Bayou was the month’s largest recorded land sale by REALTORS© Land Institute Members participating in the Lands of America Comparable Sales Program. Andy also recorded the month’s most sales, with 13 sold properties at a combined sales value of $13.9 million.
