Land Sales in Denton County: What’s Hot Right Now?

When people think about buying or selling land in Denton County, they usually picture wide open spaces, future home builds, or long-term investments. And they’re not wrong—land is one of the most underrated assets in North Texas right now.

But here’s what most folks don’t realize: land sales are heating up again, and the market is shifting in a way that creates big opportunities—if you know where to look and how to act.

Let’s break down what’s trending, what’s closing, and what buyers need to know right now.

🔥 What’s Hot in Denton County Land Sales?

1. Small Acreage = Big Demand

Lots between 1–5 acres are flying off the market, especially in areas just outside city limits like Ponder, Krum, Aubrey, and Argyle. Buyers want space, privacy, and the ability to build—but they don’t want the maintenance of 20+ acres.

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re holding a 2–5 acre tract near utilities or existing homes, now is a great time to list. These properties are commanding a premium.

Denton County currently has 152 properties listed ranging from $137,000 to $7.9 million.

2. No HOA = Instant Attention

More and more buyers are looking for land that’s unrestricted or lightly restricted. Why? Because they want to build barndominiums, bring livestock, or run a small business from their property.

Neighborhoods with looser zoning rules in places like Sanger, Justin, and Pilot Point are hot zones for this trend.

3. Infill Lots Inside Towns

Smaller lots inside city limits—especially in Denton and Argyle—are also in demand. Builders and investors are scooping these up for custom homes, duplexes, or strategic rentals. With Denton’s growth, there’s huge upside in owning land inside city boundaries.

💼 Tips for Buyers Looking at Land

✅ Survey and title work matter.
