The spring is the best time to sell. There are many reasons why spring is a great time to sell, including the better weather, increased sale prices, as well as an increase in buyer demand. These tips will help you make the most out of your time in the market.
Here are five ways to increase your chances of selling land quickly and at a good price this spring.
Replace outdated photos, videos and drone images with newer ones that reflect the current market.
Many sellers list their property in the winter, but then do not update it once spring arrives. This can actually work against you because buyers will assume that your property is on the market since it has gray and snowy photos or videos. If it is clear that your photos were taken during the winter months, you should invest in a new set of images.
April showers can bring mud, weeds and more.
It’s important to have your property ready for showings in the spring. However, what you do will depend on your marketing strategy and how your land will be used. Plan to at least clear access roads to make it easier for agents and potential buyers to get to where they need.
Wet spring weather is not only a problem for muddy land, but can also cause other problems.
Poor soil composition and improper drainage are two of the most common causes for land bogging. Pest problems, foul odors, and difficulty with building and/or planting can also accompany land bogging.
Stop by your property after a heavy rain to check if there is any bogged ground and, if needed, implement a solution. This type of improvement can increase the value of your property and let buyers know that drainage issues have been addressed.
Always price your land to sell. It doesn’t necessarily mean you should undervalue your land, but you must pay attention to what the competition in your area is doing, especially during the spring when the competition is high.
If you are updating an existing listing or if you just want to jump on the market, consider the nuances of the high-inventory markets and price your home accordingly. You’ll have a lower chance of continuing the sales process well into the summer.
The spring is a season of renewal. This applies to marketing strategies as well. The better weather allows you to take more photos and videos that can be used in your marketing. Spring season means more agents and buyers are interested in your listing. You can make both of these factors work for you by increasing your marketing efforts and tapping into new channels to get as many people as possible interested in your property.

I was raised in a very small town .My family owned the only feed store and my dad was a deputy sheriff. We showed and bred Quarter horses, hunted deer and bear. I have one daughter that graduated with honors from OU and is a Naval officer, she was deployed 3 times and she just made Lieutenant Commander for the Navy.
Moved to the Texas Hill Country in 2002, I have been a Texas realtor since 2004, at the time I lived in Harper, Tx just outside of Fredericksburg. We raised Quarter horses and exotics, mouflon sheep and blackbuck antelope. I concentrated my sales on game ranches, equestrian properties, and dream homes. I am excited to be here for the last 2 1/2 years in North Texas and look forward to being a part of the family at Preferred Properties of Texas here in Stephenville.

Landowners should consider the importance of roads. They’re not only important for accessing your property but also to facilitate the transportation of machinery and trucks. Many landowners also rely on private roads strategically placed for drainage and food sourcing.
You have several options for the type of road you want on your property, depending on what you need it for. If you are ready to do some land improvements that involve roads, it’s important to know the basics about road types, their purposes, as well as building and maintenance requirements.
You’ll see the following types of roads on land:
It is the main route for you to navigate around your property. It should be able to withstand all weather conditions and receive the majority of traffic.
The primary road is continuous. This means you can go from A to B without having to take a side street. You may only have one primary route, depending on the size and shape of your property. This serves as an entry point connecting your land with a public road. You may also have several primary routes that you use to allow year-round access around your main property areas.
Secondary roads are usually branches off primary roads and lead to places you need to access regularly but don’t. For example, timber stores or repair supplies. Secondary roads do not need to be as strong as primary roads and they don’t have to require as much maintenance. Plan secondary roads by considering the type of vehicle you will be using, as well as if the road is intended for humans or wildlife.
External roads are public and serve as the link between your property and its surrounding town or city. You may have to extend an external road to reach your property when purchasing land or create a primary road from an existing external corridor. You want to make sure that your land won’t be divided by an external road in your area, as this could have a significant impact on privacy and land use.
In general, the municipality is responsible for maintaining external roads. The landowner is responsible for the maintenance of internal roads. In some unincorporated or rural townships, it is up to the landowner to maintain the external roads that lead to their property.
Roads may not be the most glamorous part of a property but they are essential to its value and use. When buying land, you should do your research to determine what type of roads exist, which types you might need to build yourself, and what you plan to do to maintain them.
