If you’ve been holding onto land in Wyoming and wondering if it’s time to sell, you’re not alone. Landowners across the state are asking the same question — especially with changing market conditions, increasing interest in rural property, and growing demand from out-of-state buyers. So, is now a good time to sell land in Wyoming? The short answer: yes — in many cases, it absolutely is. Here’s why.
Demand for Rural and Recreational Land Is Still Strong
Since 2020, there’s been a shift in how people think about land. Whether it’s for building a home, creating a recreational retreat, or simply investing in open space, more buyers are looking west — and Wyoming is on their radar. With no state income tax, low population density, favorable culture and stunning natural beauty, Wyoming land continues to attract interest, especially from buyers in states like Texas, and Colorado.
If your property is well-located — near public lands, has access, or has water or electricity established — demand is even stronger.
Land Prices Have Held Steady (Or Risen)
In many parts of Wyoming, land prices have remained stable or even increased, especially in counties near Jackson, Cody, Sheridan, and Laramie. Even in more rural areas, there’s interest from hunters, ranchers, and investors who are looking for long-term plays.
If you bought your land years ago, depending on it’s location and attributes, there’s a good chance it has appreciated — and you could sell it now for a solid return.
Inventory is Limited in Some Areas
Land isn’t like housing — there’s a limited supply of good parcels, especially those with road access, usable terrain, or potential for future building. In some counties, there simply isn’t much available, which gives sellers an edge.
If your property checks the right boxes, you may be in a position to command a premium price — especially if you market it right.
Not all land is created equal – and buyers are willing to pay more for parcels that check the right boxes: access, views, water, proximity to recreation, or potential to build. In fact, according to a recent Landthink Survey, most land buyers are willing to pay a premium for the “perfect” property.
Fewer Complications Than Selling a House
Selling land can be a smoother process than selling a home — no inspections, staging, or high anxiety showings where you open up your personal home to strangers. If you’re working with an agent who specializes in Wyoming land (like me), the process can be streamlined, especially for cash buyers.
Reasons You Might Wait (And Why You Might Not)
There are always reasons to hold off: maybe you’re waiting for a higher price, unsure about capital gains, or just not ready to part with it yet. But here’s the reality — land isn’t a high-yield investment unless you’re actively developing or leasing it. If you’re paying taxes every year and not using it, holding may be costing more than it’s worth.
If the market is giving you an opportunity to sell at a profit now, it may be the best time in years to act.
