dropped by 47%, I wonder how big is their sample? Still high, I agree but this could be just a few parcels anyway

In the last BLM auction in Henderson Nevada, home builders paid roughly $500,000 per buildable acre for empty desert land.

$376,200 does seem expensive for an acre of desert land but that is the extent to which the real estate bubble, just ending, has distorted the market.

RE:"dropped by nearly half, and yet, is it just me or does $376200 seem a tad high for an acre in the desert?"

At least 10 tads high. <G>
