Google says Sooke is in Vancouver, Canada.

Pure greed.

Don't worry, it'll all go down like a house of cards soon.

60 acres here sells for about $180,000.

Sooke is actually on the southerly portion of the west coast of vancouver island, british columbia, canada. been 50 years since i was out that way.
btw trace, i tried googling here and got a book and google maps did not get anything definitive

Here is Wisconsin.

The 40 acre behind my place just sold for $45,000 and I didn't really expect it to. (I was hoping to buy it from the guy's estate in a few years for 30.)

thanks, trace, that helps with perspective. i suppose if i were to go a lot farther north in bc, i might find some parcels a lot cheaper, but it is cold enough here in enderby and closer to the kids and grandchild. at 69 and just starting(not even a year yet and never done this kind of thing before) to tame a small unkempt property, i likely won't see the benefit of some of the stuff i'm doing. maybe the kids will, maybe whoever gets it after me. i don't need more work, i'm hoping in a year or 2 i'll be able to just maintain with a bit of new stuff here and there filling in the holes. with a bit bit of sitting by the 2 chamber cob oven eating pizza with a cold brew and a few neighbours watching stuff grow then eating it and telling lies;)

Yeah that seems quite overpriced, even though its a beautiful area. Can’t blame them though…no ask, no get. In a similar (but I think a bit “better”) climate in NW California, we paid $268k for our 25acres. Zillow estimates its now worth between $300-400k (no real comps here to base that on though). Probably could've gotten close to 500k during the recent insanity, but I plan to die here (hopefully in a few decades, I am only 40). A nearby 40acre property with some structures (mostly between real fixer uppers and teardowns) went for 85k at auction in 2022. The buyer ended up being the local judge who placed the tax/debt lien on the place though, and that is par for the course out here in the last of the wild west. I can work around it mostly as a white guy with some means, but that lack of good governance does drive down real estate values here. On the other hand, Del Norte County is the most beautiful place I have ever been, and our permaculture guild is growing. Come join us!
