What sells and who buys

The county has two quite different land markets. In the northwest, near Raymond and Stirling, irrigated farmland and acreages sell to growing farm operations and to families who want space within commuting distance of Lethbridge. Further south and east, larger dryland grain and grazing properties sell mostly to farm and ranch operators, often from nearby.

Farmsteads and hamlet homes in New Dayton and Wrentham appeal to buyers who want rural living without a big land base.

Tips for county sellers

• Have your land details ready. Legal land descriptions, cultivated and pasture acres, any irrigation acres or water licences, and surface lease information all affect value.
• Describe the yard site. Shelterbelts, water source, buildings, corrals and power service matter to acreage and farm buyers alike.
• Consider how to sell. Land, a yard site and equipment can be sold together or separately. We'll talk through what attracts the most buyers in your situation.
