Introduction
Have you ever wondered if your land might be attractive to a builder or developer? Developers are always on the lookout for property in Arkansas — but they have very specific criteria.
This post explains what developers look for when buying land, how to tell if your lot qualifies, and how you can sell directly or through Shamrock Lands.
Key Factors Developers Consider
1. Zoning
Developers want land zoned for residential, commercial, or mixed use. Agricultural or recreational zoning is less desirable.
2. Utilities
Access to water, sewer, and electricity is critical. Lots without utilities often don’t make sense for large projects.
3. Road Access
Paved roads are ideal. Gravel or easement-only access lowers interest.
4. Lot Size and Shape
Developers prefer rectangular, buildable parcels. Irregularly shaped lots or steep slopes are less attractive.
5. Market Demand
Is there demand for housing or commercial space in the area? Developers target growing cities and suburbs.
Why Your Lot Might Still Sell
Even if your land doesn’t check all the boxes, developers sometimes buy it for:
- Future growth potential
- Assemblage (combining with neighboring lots)
- Investment hold
