Sell Land Fast In California

Sell Land Fast in Alameda County, CA

Alameda County is a large highly-populated county with nearly two million residents. It also spans across one thousand square miles of land. You would think that there would be LOTS lots of small land properties with stats like those, but the truth is that there are only 10,488 parcels in private ownership in Alameda County this are according to Data Tree.

So... how about the market? Well, it has a sold/-for-sale ratio of .81 which means that the market is healthy is a healthy score for the market. However, the days on market for undeveloped, raw land hovers around 250 days. That means that it will take you almost a year to sell your land if you plan at sellingto sell near market value.  With these numbers, we recommend using an aggressive marketing approach to sell quickly, OR sell at a discount of 30-50% if you want to sell for cash within 90- –days, or offer owner financing if you aren’t looking to get cash quickly for cash.

Sell Land Fast in Alpine County, CA

This county has a VERY small population hovering just above 1,000 residents and has over 700 square miles of land. In other words,While there is lots of land and space to spread out, but very few people in this county. What’s even more interesting is that there are only 961 parcels available to the public to own, which may explain why few people move live here. With incredible attractions like Calaveras Big Trees State Park, it’s no wonder so few parcels are privately-owned.

With that said, there are more properties sold thaen there are for sale. That On its face, that would make it appear to be a hot real estate market but the days on market data says otherwise.

The average amount of time to sell undeveloped vacant land in this county is a whopping 290 days. Ouch!

That means that if you want to sell your land fast in Alpine County, CA – especially for cash – you will need to significantly discount your lot, aggressively advertise, offer flexible owner financing, or all the above.

Cities and towns in this county include: Markleeville, Bear Valley, Mesa Vista, Kirkwood, and Alpine Village.

‍

Sell Land Fast in Amador County, CA

Amador County has just over 600 square miles of land and a population of more than 40,000. Although it’s slightly smaller than Alpine, it has nearly seven times more privately owned parcels at 6,553. This is likely due to less State and Federally owned land in the county.

As for the market, there are about as many properties for sale as there are properties sold. The days on market is better than the prior two counties discussed at 171 days. Still, that’s a long time if you need cash now, right??

We recommend using a more aggressive sales method as described above to sell your property more quickly! Or you can submit to us for cash offer. As you already know, we buy California land!

Cities and towns in this county include: Jackson, Ione, Sutter Creek, Plymouth, Amador City, Pine Grove, Pioneer, Fiddletown, River Pines, Volcano, Drytown, Martell, New Chicago, Camanche North Shore, Camanche Village, Bonefoy, Clinton, Buckhorn, and Buena Vista. Whew, that was a lot!

Sell Land Fast in Butte County, CA

Butte, not pronounced like “butt” (in case you were wondering), has over 1,600 square miles of raw land and over 200,000 people live there. Given the size of the county, this is still a significantly rural area with plenty of land to sell.

The number of privately owned pieces of land in this county is literally 14,999… just one subdivide away from satisfying someone with OCD.

There are about half as many properties that have sold compared to what are listed for sale. Days of market is still disappointedly long at nearly 190 days!

Cities and towns in this county include: Chico, Butte Valley, Oroville, Paradise, Gridley, Magalia, Biggs, Berry Creek, Forest Ranch, Concow, Durham, Stirling City, Richvale, Forbestown, Butte Meadows, Bangor, Thermalito, Palemo, Clipper Mills, Butte Creek Canyon, Cohasset, South Oroville, Oroville East, Robinson Mills, Honcut, Nord, and Cherokee.

Sell Land Fast in Calaveras County, CA

A few of the counties we discussed earlier used to be part of Calaveras County! So, this county was a monster just over a hundred years ago. It currently consists of over 1,000 square miles of land with a population of 46,000.

The market is not hot, with an average days on market of 176. Again, a long time to sell and get your money. We recommend aggressive selling strategies to quickly sell your land in this area.

Cities and towns in this county include: Angels Camp, San Andreas, Murphys, Arnold, Valley Springs, Copperopolis, Mokelumne Hill, West Point, Mountain Ranch, Dorrington, Vallecito, Rail Road Flat, Avery, Rancho Calaveras, Wallace, Sandy Gultch, Camp Pardee, and Forest Meadows.

Sell Land Fast in Colusa County, CA

This county has a lot of territory at over 1,100 square miles of land and just 21,000 residents. Very rural!

It also has close to 7,200 privately owned pieces of raw, undeveloped land. Nice!

Let’s discuss the feasibility of selling your land fast in this county. The number of parcels for sale versus already sold are about equal with a ratio of .79. Not bad!

The average days on market are an impressive 113 days. This means that you can expect to sell your land in just over three months, not bad! If you aren’t in need of cash fast, then it would be best to list on website like Zillow, FB Marketplace, and craigslist. It may take a little longer to sell if you are not willing to discount 10-20% (sold price is almost always lower than listed price) or offer owner financing.

Overall, this is a good market for land sellers.

Cities and towns in this county include: Colusa, Maxwell, Williams, Lodoga, Delevan, Grimes, Arbuckle, Princeton, College City, and Stonyford.

Sell Land Fast in Contra Costa County, CA

Contra Costa County has over 700 square miles of land and a significant population of over 1,161,413. There are also 10,542 privately owned vacant land parcels according to Data Tree (or Core Logic).

With such a high population you would expect a much quicker time to sell land but the days on market are actually about 175! We’re talking six months to get money for your property.

We recommend spending significant time listing and posting ads if you want to get your land sold under six months in this area.

Cities and towns in this county: Martinez, Concord, Walnut Creek, Richmond, Antioch, Brentwood, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, Sam Ramon, San Pablo, Danville, Oakley, Lafayette, El Cerrito, Orinda, Pinole, Moraga, Hercules, El Sobrante, Bay Point, Alamo, Clayton, Discovery Bay, Crockett, Rodeo, Contra Costa Centre, Byron, Knightsen, North Richmond, Diablo, Paecheco, Bethel Island, Blackhawk, Port Costa, Kensington, East Richmond Heights, Alhambra Valley, Tara Hills, Bayview-Montalvin, Vine Hill, Clyde, and Rollingwood. My goodness this county is chock full of towns!

Sell Land Fast in Del Norte County, CA

Del Norte used to be part of Klamath (oddly, now Klamath is part Del Norte) and is over 1,000 square miles with just 28,000 people living there.

With how many square miles of land there are, it is surprising that there are only 4,235 parcels.

Given how rural the area is, it is no surprise that there are three times more properties for sale on average than are sold. This would explain the LONG time to sell at close to 218 days.

Cities and towns in this county: Cresent City, Fort Dick (not what you think…), Smith River, Hiouchi, Gasquet, Bertsch-Oceanview, Klamath.

‍

Sell Land Fast in El Dorado County, CA

I grew up and live in this county! It has close to 200,000 residents and a lot of land at over 1,700 square miles.

While the market has been very hot here for some time, landowners have greatly inflated their asking price for their land due to the great amount of interest coming from the Bay Area. This is the best explanation I have for the average days on market being 163.

If you price your property 20-30% less than similar lots, you should sell your property VERY fast. Unfortunately, like I said, people are listing their property WAY too high and end up stuck on market for a long time trying to find a buyer.

Cities and towns in this county include: Placerville (I grew up in this city), Cameron Park, South Lake Tahoe, Shingle Springs, Diamond Springs, Pollock Pines, Georgetown, Camino, Somerset, Coloma, Grizzly Flats, Kyburz, Rescue, Pilot Hill, Fair Play, Garden Valley, Mount Aukum, Twin Bridges, Echo Lake, Cool, Camp Richardson, Sly Park, Volcanoville, Tahoma, Meeks Bay, Auburn Lake Trails, Omo Ranch, Five Mile Terrace, Quintette, Balderson Station, Outingdale, White Hall, Frenchtown, Latrobe, Fresh Pond, Fallen Leaf, Philips, Kelsey, Cold Springs, Clarksville, Cedar Grove, Sierra Springs, Gold Hill, Kingsville, and Pleasant Valley.

Sell Land Fast in Fresno County, CA

Fresno County is very large with almost 6,000 square miles of land and just over 1,000,000 for its’ population.

The market is “meh” with a days on market averaging 178 days for undeveloped vacant land. In more highly populated counties in California, the issue with higher days on market, despite plenty of potential buyers, is likely due to people overpricing their properties.

If you want to sell FAST and for CASH in this county, you should seriously discount the price compared to other lots for sale OR get very aggressive with your marketing strategy.

Cities and towns in this county include: Fresno (of course!), Clovis, Sanger, Selma, Reedley, Kerman, Kingsburg, Coalinga, Squaw Valley, Fowler, Firebaugh, Parlier, Mendota, Shaver Lake (only the clean shaven can swim here… just kidding), Auberry, Calwa, San Joaquin, Caruthers, Orange Cove, Friant, Huron, Del Rey, Centerville (they think the whole state revolves around them, hence the name), Riverdale, Easton, Big Creek, Laton, Tranquillity (land here is chill), Raisin City, Cantua Creek, Three Rocks, Lanare, Minkler, West Park, Mayfair, and Malaga.

Sell Land Fast in Glenn County, CA

Glenn is a moderate size county at 1,300 square miles but with a smaller population of 29,000.

Here’s the thing. This county has a very, very slow market for selling land. Arguably, the hardest county to sell land in California. Why do I say this? Because the overate days of market to sell is a whopping 645 days. DANG!

With over 7,000 privately owned parcels, there is a decent amount of property but if you are looking to sell here, be prepared to wait for about two years to get your money.

Aim for 50% or more below “market value” if you want to sell within six months.

Cities and towns in this county include: Willows, Hamilton City, Orland, Artois, and Elk Creek.

Sell Land Fast in Humboldt County, CA

This county is fairly large at over 4,000 square miles. It has a population of 135,000.

Private ownership of land approaches 20,000 parcels of land.

If you want to sell your land here you can expect to wait about 200 days before finding a buyer.‍

Cities and towns in this county: Eureka, Arcata, Fortuna, McKinleyville, Ferndale, Garberville, Trinidad, Rio Dell, Willow Creek, Blue Lake, Alderpoint, Shelter Cove, Loleta, Samoa, Redway, Scotia, Orick, Weott, Cutten, Myers Flat, Fields Landing, Miranda, Humboldt Hill, Redcrest, Big Lagoon, Hydesville, Manila, Phillipsville, Benbow, Bayview, Myrtletown, Westhave-Moonstone, Ettersburg, Indianola, and Ridgewood.

‍

Sell Land Fast in Imperial County, CA

Imperial County has 181,000 residents and nearly 4,500 square miles of land.

While there are over three times more properties for sale than there are sold, the days on market hover around 180. I would have expected it to be higher but, again, much of days on market deals with the price psychology of the sellers – not just how attractive a market is to buyers.

To sell in under 90-days, you will need to be about 50% less than similar listing or offer attractive seller financing. This is particularly true if you are selling properties near the Salton Sea.

Cities in this county: Imperial, El Centro, Brawley, Calexico, Holtville, Calipatria, Heber, Westmorland, Niland, Winterhaven, Bombay Beach, Salton City, Ocotillo, Seeley, Palo Verde, Desert Shores, and Salton Sea Beach.

Sell Land Fast in Inyo County, CA

Inyo County is large at over 10,000 square miles but only has about 19,000 people living here. It is extremely rural.

Despite being so massive, there are only 5,089 privately owned lots of land indicating significant amounts of government owned land.

Due to lack of economic activity and general growth, selling land here is more challenging. Average days to sell land in this county is about 258 days.

This is another area you will need to offer significant discounts to potential buyers if you want to sell quickly.‍

Cities and towns in this county: Bishop, Independence, Lone Pine, Big Pine, Furnace Creek, Olancha, Tecopa, Keeler, Shoshone, Cartago, Darwin, Charleston View, Pearsonville, Haiwee, Valley Wells, West Bishop, Homewood Canyon, Dixon Lane-Meadow Creek, Mesa, Round Valley, Wilkerson, and Dunmovin.

‍

Sell Land Fast in Kern County, CA

Kern County has over 8,000 square miles of land and nearly one million residents. Land ownership in this county is fairly high with over 142,000 properties privately owned.

Due to the lack of economic activity and abundant land available for sale, it normally takes close to 270 days on average to sell.

You will need to aggressively market your lot and offer significant cash discounts. Or… be prepared to wait a long time for the right buyer.

Cities and towns in this county: Bakersfield, Tehachapi, Delano, Ridgecrest, Lake Isabella, Shafter, Wasco, Taft, California City, Mojave, Kernville, Rosamond, Arvin, Lamont, Frazier Park, Boron, Oildale, McFarland, Wofford Heights, Lost Hills, Maricopa, Lebec, Bodfish, Buttonwillow, Weldon, Inyokern, Pine Mountain Club, McKittrick, Randsburg, Bear Valley Springs, Stallion Springs, Weedpatch, Squirrel Mountain Valley, Tupman, Mountain Mesa, Dustin Acres, North Edwards, Derby Acres, China Lake Acres, Fuller Acres, Golden Hills, Taft Heights, Onyx, South Taft, Edmundson Acres, Fellows, Lakes of the woods, Johannesburg, Ford City, Valley Acres, and Mettler.

Sell land Fast in Kings County, CA

Kings County has 1,392 square miles of land and about 153,000 people living here. There are almost 16,000 privately owned parcels of land.

About twice as many properties are listed for sale versus sold. Days to sell in this county reach almost 200! That’s a long time.

Cities and towns in this county: Hanford, Lemoore, Corcoran, Avenal, Armona, Kettleman City, Stratford, Grangeville, Lemoore Station, Hardwick, and Home Garden.

Sell Land Fast in Lake County, CA

Lake County has 1,368 square miles of land and a population of less than 70,000. It is very rural and boasts significant land ownership with nearly 30,000 privately owned undeveloped parcels.

The market has more than twice as many lots for sale than there are sold and the economy is small. Therefore, it is no surprise that the average days of market is 257!

Cities and towns in this county: Lakeport, Clearlake, Kelseyville, Middletown, Lower Lake, Upper Lake, Clearlake Oaks, Hidden Valley Lake, Lucerne, Nice, Cobb, Clear Lake Riviera, Soda Bay, North Lakeport, and Spring Valley.

Sell Land Fast in Lassen County, CA

Lassen County has a good amount of land at over 4,700 square miles. It also has a very small population for its' size at just 33,000 people.

There are 11,299 parcels privately owned in this county with an average days on market of 260. That's over six months on average to sell land!

To sell land fast, less than 90-days, you will need to spend significant time advertising the property on various platforms and offer significant discounts.

Cities and towns: Susanville, Westwood, Janesville, Herlong, Bieber, Doyle, Nubieber, Madeline, Little Valley, Clear Creek, Litchfield, Milford, Stones Landing, and Patton Village.

Sell Land Fast in Los Angeles County, CA

This is a BIG county. Not in size - the county is just as large as Lassen County. But in the size of it's'population and economy. The population is a whopping 9.82 million people with wildly various terrains.

You can go from the massively populated city areas to extremely rural desert land. The variety of options is wide.

With that said, you would think that the time to sell in this county would be lightening fast - but it is not. The average days on market is 237 days for raw land in this county.

Personally, I've had a handful of properties that took over a year to sell here and that was with them being listedat least 50% under market.

Now, if you are selling an infill lot in central LA you will probably sell rapidly. But most of the land in this county is very rural.

There are over 161,000 privately owned lots of land making the market somewhat saturated with properties for sale. Another reason for why it takes so long to sell in this county.

As usual, be aggressive with marketing the property and be prepared to lower your price in order to sell within 90-days.

Sell Land Fast in Modoc County, CA

Modoc County has a very small population at 8,600 and is 4,200 square miles. That's almost two square miles per person!

There are also far more privately owned parcels of land than people that live here at 23,234! This indicates that the area has more people land banking/investing in land than wanting to actually move onto the land or build.

There are about five times more properties listed than are sold making the market significantly saturated. It is no surprise to see that it takes an average of 200 days to sell land in Modoc County.

Since you will have many other listings to compete with, try making yours stand out. You can offer attractive financing options. Discover unique aspects of your property and place it in the listing. Most importantly, be prepared to lower your price if you want to sell within 90-days.

Cities and towns: Alturas, Cedarville, California Pines, Adin, Fort Bidwell, Canby, Eagleville, LIkely, Lookout, New Pine Creek, Newell, and Daphnedale Park.

Sell Land Fast in Mono County, CA

Mono County has a population of over 14,000 and 3,132 square miles of land.

There are only 3,026 privately owned parcels of land in the entire county! That's about one vacant lot per square mile.

Interestingly, there are just as many properties sold as there are listed for sale. This should result in a faster time to sell but it doesn't appear so. In Mono County it takes an average of 191 days to sell land.

One explanation for why it takes so long given so few listings is that simply less people try selling their property here and likewise demand higher prices than people are willing to pay.

Lowering your price below similar properties will get attention and help you sell faster. Also, listing your property on Facebook Marketplace in nearby cities will help as well.

Cities and towns: Bridgeport, Mammoth Lakes, Lee Vining, June Lake, Coleville, Benton, Walker, Mono City, Chalfant Valley, Swall Meadows, McGee Creek, Aspen Springs, and Sunny Slopes.

Sell Land Fast in Monterey County, CA

This county has about 500,000 people who live here and nearly 4,000 square miles of land.

What's really interesting is that with how close it is to the ocean, you would expect the market to be very hot for selling land but it isn't - at least with how long it takes to find a buyer.

Selling land in Monterey County takes an average of 274 days. Likely due to challenging regulations, high permit costs, and over inflated sense of how much the properties are worth.

The truth is that land could sell very fast in this county if someone listed on the correct platforms and offered a good deal.

Cities and towns: Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Salinas, Pacific Grove, Seaside, Marina, Carmel Valley, Soledad, King City, Moss Landing, Castroville, Greenfield, Sand City, Gonzales, Prunedale, Del Rey Oaks, Spreckels, Del Monte Forest, Chualar, Pajaro, San Ardo, Boronda, Las Lomas, Bradley, Elkhorn, San Lucas, Pine Canyon, and Lockwood.

Sell Land Fast in Napa County, CA

Napa County is small at just 789 square miles. Despite being smaller in size it has over 137,000 people living there.

Selling land in Napa County takes an average of 241 days despite how popular the county is around the world.

You are probably noticing by now that selling land takes a long time no matter what county you are in. This is something that most people do not understand: land is not as liquid as housing. Therefore, even in popular areas, finding a buyer takes months in almost every market.

This means that is you are in a time crunch and need cash, you will need to advertise your property at a significant discount in order to sell quickly.

Cities and towns: Napa, Calistoga, St. Helena, Yountville, American Canyon, Rutherford, Oakville, Angwin, Moskowite Corner, and Deer Park.

Sell Land Fast in Nevada County, CA

Sell Land in Orange County, CA

This county is 948 square miles and has 3.1 million people. If you have ever been to Disneyland, you have been to Orange County!

There are only 3,183 lots of land that are privately owned in Orange County which would make you think that the market would be highly competitive and thus have a smaller days on market.

Despite this, it takes an average of 227 days to sell land in Orange County.

But why? I don't think it's because of a lack of buyers. I think that it's because of overinflated prices from sellers. In other words, because this county is so attractive, sellers are pricing their land at exorbitant prices that turn off most buyers.

This means that if you are able to lower your listing by just 20 or 30 percent less than similar lots, you can likely get a cash buyer fast.

Cities and towns: Orange, Irvine, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Mission Viejo, Fullerton, Tustin, Garden Grove, San Clemente, Buena Park, Dana Point, Lake Forest, Westminster, Brea, Fountain Valley, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel, Yorba Linda, Laguna Hills, Cypress, Rancho Santa Margarita, Aliso Viejo, Placentia, La Habra, Seal Beach, Los Alamitos, Coto de Caza, Ladera Ranch, Laguna Woods, Villa Park, Stanton, La Palma, North Tustin, Rancho Mission Viejo, Midway City, Rossmoor, and Las Flores.

There are 21,217 lots of land under ownership. Average time to sell land in Placer County is 158 days which ranks better than most counties in California.

It would likely be much better if sellers were not pricing lots into the stratosphere. Typically when housing is on the upswing, land owners in this county (and other housing hotspots) raise prices faster than even the home sellers!

Price your property right and you will sell FAST here.

Land ownership here is moderate at 10,272 lots privately owned. Due to lack of real economic growth and interest in the county, the market is very slow for sellers. On average it takes 293 days to sell land in Plumas County.

You will need to offer attractive seller financing and potential price cuts if you want to find a buyer fast.

Sell Land Fast in San Benito County, CA

San Benito is 1,390 square miles and has just 67,000 residents. There are 6,703 lots of land privately owned by individuals.
‍

This county is very large at over 20,000 square miles of land and 2.2 million residents. Even though its' population is large, it is very rural throughout most of the county.

The amount of land ownership here is massive. There are over 212,000 privately owned parcels.
