Esmeralda County Land/Property Sales
Esmeralda County has not shown much growth over the past
several years until 2006 when the amount of property sales more than doubled
in the first 10 months of the year. This spike is reflected on the chart below.
Of the 98 property sales through October of 2006, 82 were for vacant land.
Of those, 61 were in the Dyer/Fish Lake Valley area where a new subdivision
is going in. This represents a great opportunity for those interested in getting
in on the ground floor of development in the Dyer/Fish Lake Valley area.
2006 County Land Sales by Town
Of all property sales within Esmeralda County, 69% were in the Dyer/Fish Lake Valley area while 26% was in Goldfield. Goldfield has been declared an historic community and is striving to restore it's old buildings. 'Other areas' reflects those areas of the county other than the towns listed. Silver Peak had little activity in that it is virtually surrounded by government owned or managed land. This greatly limits the amount of property available in the region. Growth in the Dyer/Fish Lake Valley region is on the rise. Average costs of property is very difficult to calculate as property differs in value based on location within the county, age of buildings, acreage of land sold with associated buildings, etc. These items are not factored in here. The average reflected here is based solely upon type of property sold and location.| AVERAGE PRICE OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES | ||||||||||||||||
