Reports signal mild increase in land values

Ganly Walters have just released their findings in a national land-price survey, outlining the trends in prices paid for agricultural land throughout last year.

Meanwhile, in advance of publication of their final report on land prices for 2014 (due in about a week’s time), Ireland’s largest estate agents Sherry Fitzgerald have released some preliminary summaries of their impressions of agri-land selling in 2014.

There is some disparity in the figures emerging from these reports. Ganly Walters calculates average land prices have increased by 0.01% from 2013, standing at an overall national per-acre average price of €10,526.
