Land & Farm in Miller County
Six parcels active this month, up one from July, with a single new listing joining the mix and one already under contract. That's a thin market by any measure, and it's staying thin — six months of supply puts us right at balanced, but with numbers this small, one or two transactions can swing the picture fast. The one sale that closed this period tells the real story: it moved at $787,757, well above the $751,375 median ask across active listings, and settled at $4,000 per acre against active parcels asking a median of $7,183 per acre. That gap between what sellers are asking and what's actually trading tells you the well-positioned properties — the ones with water, cover, and usable ground — are still commanding buyer attention, while the higher-per-acre asks on the board haven't found their match yet.
Look at what's sitting in inventory right now and it's clear why. Every single active listing has a creek, river, or pond on it. Better than four out of five have hunting habitat or wildlife appeal, and the same share come with a cabin, lodge, or retreat structure already in place — this is turnkey recreational and hunting ground, not just raw acreage. Two-thirds carry standing timber, and half offer pasture, hay ground, or tillable acreage with a barn or shop to match. Brumley's two active listings are running a median ask of $749,000 on right around 100 acres — solid farm-type ground. Iberia's split between land and farm listings is priced lower, median $571,825 on about 105 acres, which may appeal to buyers looking for more acreage per dollar without the improvements.
With archery season and firearms deer season both on the horizon, expect hunting-ground buyers to start moving with more urgency in the coming weeks — properties with established food plots, timber cover, and water access tend to draw serious lookers this time of year regardless of asking price. Forty-five days average on market isn't slow, but in a six-parcel market, sellers priced realistically against actual per-acre comps — not the asking-price median — will be the ones who close before the season turns. For buyers, this is still a market where patience and knowing your comps pays off; for sellers, the message is that quality water, timber, and turnkey structures are what's actually converting to sales right now.
For buyers
With six months of supply on the ground and only one parcel changing hands this period, buyers have room to be selective. The active inventory leans heavily toward hunting habitat and water access — 83% and 100% respectively — so if you're after a recreational tract or a place with a reliable water source, there's real selection right now. The one sale at $4,000/acre gives you a solid benchmark for negotiating, and with 45 average days on market, there's no need to rush a decision on the right piece.
For sellers
The market is balanced, but at six months of supply, pricing your land correctly from the start matters more than ever — overpriced parcels will simply sit. If your land has strong water access or usable timber, lean into that in your listing; those features are exactly what's moving buyers right now. With inventory up to six active parcels and only one sale this period, differentiate your tract on road access, hunting value, or land utility rather than waiting out the competition.
