1️⃣ Mid-Year Reality Check (Market Pulse)
Inventory remains tight in most categories, especially for vacant land.
Buyer fatigue is creeping in, but serious buyers remain hungry for the right parcels.
Interest rates may soften slightly in Q3/Q4 — which could bring another small wave of buyers.
Many sellers are still in "wait and see" mode.
New Strategy Shift
👉 Aggressive seller prospecting — it's time to start shaking more land loose.
👉 More off-market work — contact past owners, developers who paused projects, estate attorneys, surveyors, etc.
👉 Position yourself as "The land agent who creates inventory."
2️⃣ Build Your Fall Pipeline Now
Deals you're sourcing now are closing late summer or fall.
Start aggressively planting seeds for September/October closings.
Land buyers often have longer due diligence — get them started now.
New Strategy Shift
👉 Early fall marketing blitz:
"If you're thinking about selling before year-end, now is the time."
Highlight 2024 capital gains opportunities.
Play up still-strong pricing on prime land.
3️⃣ Seller Education
Some sellers still don't realize how valuable land is right now.
Many think “the market has cooled” because they read headlines about residential sales.
New Strategy Shift
👉 Create seller-focused content:
"Why now is the window to maximize land value."
Show recent land comps (even if few).
Offer free consultations: subdivision viability, perc tests, zoning checks.
4️⃣ New Buyer Channels
Consider doing webinars, short video clips or "drive the land" tours for buyers.
Showcase off-market parcels you control or have access to.
New Strategy Shift
👉 Build a mid-year "VIP Land Buyer List" — give your best buyers early access.
👉 Use AI tools (I can help build these) to match buyers with zoning overlays, parcels not yet listed.
5️⃣ Back to Basics
Tighten follow-up systems.
Leverage summer events to network with owners (farmers markets, town fairs, etc.)
Build personal relationships that lead to future listings.
Summary Mid-Year Slogan:
👉 "Create inventory. Educate sellers. Capture fall buyers. Build 2025 pipeline now."
