Up to €26,000 an acre for farms
One IAVI member in Co Meath said it had been over a year since he sold a farm to a full-time farmer.
However, the report indicates it has been a good year for farmers selling land, with high prices attributed to a supply of property development money and the presence of hobby farmers, as well as a minority of sales to some prominent farmers still in the market to expand.
Smaller farms continued to fetch the best prices, with IAVI members estimating averages being paid for up to 50 acres of residential holdings at €25,698 in Leinster, €17,976 in Munster, and €14,307 in Connaught.
