People buy land by the acre. They should be buying it by the feature.

Acreage is a starting point. What actually drives value in the Midwest land market:
-Location and road access — how easy is it to get to, and what's around it
-Timber quality and habitat diversity — what it holds and how consistently
-Water features — creeks, ponds, and wetlands anchor everything else
-Hunting and recreational potential — what a serious buyer can actually do with it
-Local buyer demand and comparable sales — what the market in that specific area is actually willing to pay

Understanding these variables makes a real difference — whether you're buying or selling. The buyers and sellers who get the best outcomes are the ones who understand what they're actually evaluating.
