Vacant Land Owner Leads in San Juan County, Colorado

LandIntent tracks 400 vacant parcels in San Juan County and scores every one of them by how likely the owner is to sell. 0 of them land in tier A, the top band, which is 0.0% of the county. That is a thin top tier, so the realistic play here is a wider net across tiers A and B rather than a narrow one.

40.5% of these parcels are owned from outside Colorado, which is a mixed book. The out-of-state owners cluster in AZ, NM and TX. Split the county: mail the absentee half, and treat the in-state half as a phone and door market where a local conversation beats a postcard.

The median owner has held their parcel for 7.3 years, and 29.8% have held for a decade or more. That is a relatively short book, which usually means more recent speculative buying. Recent buyers sell for different reasons than long-hold owners: they are more price-anchored and more likely to want out at cost.

17% of these parcels are held by an LLC, and another 13.5% sit in a trust. Entity-owned land is worth watching because the business filing tells you about the owner's attention before the parcel ever does.

The median parcel is 0.17 acres with an assessed value of $37,830, which works out to roughly $149,217 per acre. Assessed value is not market value, and in Colorado it usually trails it, but it is the same yardstick applied to every parcel in the county, so it is a fair way to compare one lot against another.
