What Is a Land Liquidation Sale?

A land liquidation sale is a one-day event where a curated selection of properties is sold at set prices. Unlike auctions, these sales do not involve bidding wars. Buyers are required to attend in person and have scheduled appointment times to view the properties. With properties often sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, preparation is key. These sales are designed to move properties quickly, making it possible to purchase land at discounted prices.

Preparing to Attend a Land Liquidation Sale

Proper preparation can make the difference between securing your dream property and missing out. Here’s how to get ready:

  • Schedule Your Appointment: Land liquidation sales operate on strict schedules, so call early to secure your spot.
  • Do Your Research: Use resources like AcreValue to explore land values, compare similar properties, and identify your budget range.
  • Work with a Consultant: A knowledgeable land consultant can guide you through the process and help match you with properties that fit your needs.
  • Understand Sale Terms: Details about the sale’s location or individual property addresses are often withheld to prevent bidding wars.
