Quick Market Research Report

You want to know where in a state land is actually moving — without spending an afternoon in the county records. This skill screens every county in one state for the acreage you buy, ranks the strongest, rates each one, and hands you a branded PDF you can act on.

It’s the quick market screen: county-level, driven entirely by Land Insights demand data, and built to run fast. When you want the full economic picture — jobs, population growth, big corporate investment — reach for the Deep Market Research Matrix instead.

Two things, and it’ll ask if you don’t say up front:

  • A state — the one you want to screen.
  • An acreage range — the lot sizes you actually work (say, 3–10 acres).

For every county in the state, the skill pulls the market signals that tell you how fast land is selling:

  • Supply — how many parcels are active, sold, and pending in your acreage range.
  • Sell-through rate (STR) — sold divided by active, the core demand gauge. Higher means faster-moving. It reads three windows — 1-year (the durable baseline), 6-month, and 3-month (recent momentum).
  • Pending STR — pending divided by active, a read on buyer activity happening right now, ahead of closings.
  • Average days on market (DOM) — how long the typical parcel sits. Lower is better.
  • Pricing consistency — a reference gauge of how uniform per-acre prices are in the close acreage bands. It’s shown for context, not used to rank.

It sets aside counties with too little or too much inventory to read cleanly, then scores the rest on a weighted blend of those signals and ranks the top 20 (or however many you ask for).

A branded, color-coded PDF scorecard in the Land Insights palette:

  • A “Top 20 at a glance” table — supply, all three sell-through windows, pending STR, average DOM, and pricing consistency for each county.
  • A plain-English rating on every county — Strong, Decent, Slower, or Weak — with a one-line reason, so a fast-ranking county that’s still risky reads honestly.
  • Statewide context — the medians everything is measured against, and the counties that were too thin or too bloated to rank.
  • A short takeaways section.

Then it offers an optional ZIP-level drill-down on any county in the list, so you can go from “this county” to “these ZIP codes” before you start marketing.
