Inventory Distribution
Where is active supply concentrated right now?
What This Means For You
With six months of supply on the ground, buyers have room to be selective rather than rushed. The lone sale this period closed near $4,000/acre, giving you a solid benchmark for negotiating against the current active listings. Given that most of the active inventory offers water access and a majority carry hunting habitat and timber, take time to compare tract-by-tract on road access and usable acreage rather than settling for the first parcel that fits the budget.
One sale against six active listings means buyers have options, so pricing your tract in line with the $4,000/acre benchmark matters more than ever. At 45 days average on market, well-positioned land is still moving at a reasonable clip, but with inventory up by one parcel this month, standing out on road access, water, and usable acreage will carry more weight than in a tighter market. If your tract offers strong hunting habitat or timber value, make sure that's front and center — it's what's differentiating the competitive listings right now.

# Miller County Rural Land & Farm Market Report — August 2026 Miller County's rural land market stayed tight this month, with just six active parcels on the ground and only one new listing coming to market. That one sale that closed tells you something important: it went for a median of $787,757, well above the $751,375 median ask across active inventory, which points to sellers holding firm and buyers willing to pay for the right ground. The gap between sold price-per-acre ($4,000) and active asking price-per-acre ($7,183) is wide, but that's less about overpricing and more about what's currently sitting on the market versus what already sold — the parcels still available tend to carry more improvements and water frontage, which pushes the ask higher. Look at what's actually available and it's easy to see why buyers are paying up. Every single active listing has some form of water access — creek, river, or pond — and better than four out of five have hunting habitat and a cabin or retreat structure already in place. Two-thirds carry timber, and half have pasture or tillable ground plus a barn or shop. This isn't marginal ground. Brumley's two active farms are priced at a median $749,000 for right around 100 acres, while Iberia's mixed land-and-farm offerings run cheaper at $571,825 median for a bit more acreage — buyers looking for value per acre should be watching Iberia, while those wanting more built-in infrastructure and water are gravitating toward Brumley-area farms. With six months of supply and a 45-day average time on market, this is a balanced market — not a scramble, but not a buyer's dumping ground either. If you're a seller with a well-rounded property — water, timber, some pasture, maybe a cabin — you're in a strong position heading into fall, when archery season and firearms deer season start pulling serious hunting-ground buyers off the fence. If you're buying, don't expect a bargain on anything with a pond and a lodge already built — that premium is real and it's holding. Buyers focused purely on tillable acreage or hay ground for the fall cutting should have more room to negotiate, since only half of current inventory fits that use case.
