Current Developments In The Farm Real Estate Market

Excerpt from Current Developments in the Farm Real Estate Market: July-November 1959 Both dealer and nondealer reporters agreed that fewer people were looking for farmland last summer and early fall than a year earlier. More recent indications are that since last fall demand has slackened further. Dealer's inquiries continued to come chiefly from farmers already owning land and from nonfarmers. Within the latter group, investors accounted for 23 percent of dealers' total inquiries nationally, but the proportion ranged to more than a third in areas where nonfarm influences are most prevalent. Financing of farm transfers last fall was said to be generally more difficult than a year earlier. Although interest rates were a little higher for most lenders last October, the increase shown in central money markets had not yet been fully reflected in the rates for farm mortgages. Severallenders reported a sharp decline in their loan commitments in the fourth quarter of 1959 compared with a year earlier.

Extract: This study presents a brief history and analysis of the trends in the farm real estate market of central Wellington County, Ontario, since early settlement days. It develops a series of annual market prices from 1853 on, through the collection of sales data from land registry offices of farmland transferred at "arm's length". To the extent that an annual price is the mean of 25 sales on average, price is a reflection of acreage, tillable-area and improvement differences among farm properties sold in that year. It is thus a price representative of the locale, the organization and the state of development of farming at the time, and the willing-buyer/willing-seller condition.
