2025 Sales: < $50M
Who: A husband-and-wife team that has been in business for more than 30 years. Licensed in Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming, we specialize in land, ranches, and recreational property.
WOW! Marketed the historic Hamilton Ranch, which has sold only twice since being homesteaded and still has apple trees that were delivered on the Cheyenne-Deadwood Stage Route.
What was your take on 2025? Inventory remained low. Sale prices of quality land in many areas were at an all-time high. Off-market sales were a trend.
How is 2026 shaping up? Inventory appears to be opening up some. It is shaping up to be a good year, with strong buyer interest and many people looking for land investments.
2025 Sales: $100M–$250M
Who: Specializing in the sale of ranches, land, luxury estates, and investment properties.
WOW! Facilitated the sale of the Butte Valley Ranch in Eastern Nevada for $14.5 million. The ranch spans nearly 900,000 acres of grazing land and supports 1,000 head of cattle and 5,000 head of sheep.
What was your take on 2025? Land values held steady. The hay market was down all year, but the cattle market was at or near all-time highs, which offset land values. Inventory remained low, with more buyers than sellers. Luxury home and estate sales slowed during the second half of the year, and the market was flat over the final few months. Inventory was low while demand remained steady.
How is 2026 shaping up? We see the overall market starting to pick back up, with Northern Nevada land sales remaining active. More list-ings are becoming available, which will level out demand and increase transaction volume. Luxury estates and equestrian properties are seeing more supply to meet demand, and gradual interest rate cuts should only further heat up the market.
2025 Sales: $100M–$250M
Who: A land brokerage covering Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Our team of brokers consists of cowboys, farmers, loggers, agriculture majors, foresters, ropers, equestrian lovers, anglers, and hunters. Our expertise includes ranches, farms, timber tracts, vineyards, and luxury resorts.
What was your take on 2025? There was unprecedented demand for rural and recreational properties. Properties were snatched up before we even had them fully loaded on the website. Now that we are normalizing, we are definitely seeing a more competitive market.
How is 2026 shaping up? It is already proving to be a very diverse market, with high demand from both buyers and sellers. However, pricing is still very competitive.
2025 Sales: $50M–$100M
Who: Specializing in the sale and purchase of ranches, farms, recreational, residential, and commercial properties across Eastern Oregon since 1960. Our team has experience in land management, water rights, grazing allotments, land conservation, irrigation systems, and all the county-planning regulations.
WOW! Sold a 1,007-acre ranch in Riley, Oregon, with six pivots and multiple outbuildings for nearly $4.4 million.
What was your take on 2025? Cattle ranches and recreational properties were strong, while hay farms slowed due to water-rights issues and interest rates.
How is 2026 shaping up? Cattle ranches and recreational properties are still strong, and hay farms are slightly increasing in activity. We are expecting high hay prices in 2026.
2025 Sales: < $50M
Who: Established in 1970, our company brings experience in farm, ranch, and commercial properties throughout Eastern Oregon and Washington. Our team of five brokers has a diverse background in agriculture financing and production, with firsthand knowledge in farming, banking, and marketing.
What was your take on 2025? Buyers became more disciplined due to higher borrowing costs and economic uncertainty in the agricultural sector. Despite those headwinds, we continued to see strong demand for qual-ity land assets, particularly productive farmland, large recreational tracts, and prop-erties offering privacy, water, and long-term value. How is 2026 shaping up? Quality land will continue to perform. Properties with strong fundamentals, such as water, scale, and location, will still attract serious interest.
