Re: Iowa farmland value up 21% for year ending September 1st!
this is not even close to comparable. the power of real estate is in the #s. a 21% increase in land value can be a massive return.
lets say it is $5k/acre (made up #s) and you own 100 acres financed w/ 20% down.
you put up 100k + fees/closings etc. (not counting benefits from renting which would obv more than offset those costs)
if the price increases by 20% (to 600k), and you sell in short order, you haven't made 20%, you've made 100% return
