2011 has shot out of the gate in a hurry. In the last 60 days, we’ve tracked in excess of $100 million in high-profile closings. (Remember 2009? As I recall the figure about this time two years ago was closer to $100,000.)  Easements, auctions, sales — the year is off to a rousing start and some of the more notable transactions, including the sale of the N Bar Ranch, are featured in our January Land Report newsletter.

Thanks to rising prices, inflationary fears, and a strong pipeline, expect this pace to continue into the spring. For more up to the minute reports, follow The Magazine of the American Landowner on Facebook and on Twitter.
