TECHNICAL ANALYSIS BRIEF

Commuter Spillover

As Salem fills up, Polk County is becoming the preferred bedroom community. Buildable rural residential lots are in extreme demand.

Groundwater Limitations

Certain areas of Polk County have groundwater restrictions (limited well water). We check the OWRD well logs to ensure your lot isn't dry.

Strategic Fit

We help owners of large Ag parcels create 'Measure 49' partitions to carve off high-value homesites without losing the farm status.
