A little mole tells me that Landandfarm.com is raising prices. Premium listing ads are going from $49.95/month to $79.95/month and banner ads are going from $50/month to $175/month.
Landandfarm.com has about 3,800 land listings, making it one of the bigger fish in the rural land pond. Can they continue to grow? We’ll see, since the trend in Web 2.0 real estate is to provide INFORMATION for consumers with as few encumbrances as possible.
Just a hunch, but the more savvy buyers get, and the more eagerly they surf the net for land listings, the less seller$ might be willing to $hell out.
One other criticism of Landandfarm.com, which has some cool listings no doubt: But they have a confusing point of entry/portal situation the way they use FOUR other sites through which buyers can access the same listings database.
Landandfarm.com has a niche/target audience, something LoopNet can’t address with their commercial-heavy presentation, but the question is how long — if sellers see other (CHEAPER) options.
