Existing second home and vacation land sales continue to be in demand in the big three vacation home states in the Northeast - Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. A unique aspect of these three states is that in Maine, followed by the others, have more vacation and second home properties than anywhere else in the country. Vacation properties and land markets have stayed relatively strong in these markets and are likely to continue to see moderate gains.

Why buy land? What is driving land purchases across the Country? Why are American’s consumed with the great outdoors? We can pull reports and quotes from demographers and appraisers, and talk about “trends” and “value” or we can talk on a more personal level.

The folks here at LandsofAmerica each have a passion for land.
