Do people REALLY want to buy beautiful land instead of empty land?
Do people REALLY want to buy beautiful land instead of empty land?
In my area/city/country, there are people who want to buy "empty small land" (categorized as agricultural). They buy this type of land mostly as a hobby farming thing. Some live on it. It is cheaper than a flat.
Empty land looks ugly to me. I think land that has some nice trees looks better. Therefore it must have more value. Maybe it would increase the sales price by 50%. Any ideas? Anyone knows? I don't know.
My area is DRY: https://i.postimg.cc/DzFFDSPc/image.png
Prices in green areas of the country are way higher. Like 200%+. Though I didn't look at all areas.
This country is MOSTLY dry. Cities are MOSTLY concrete jungle and ugly.
My plan is to 1. turn my empty land into beautiful land 2. make videos with models on the land to go viral on social media and local news 3. sell at 100-150% premium (compared to empty similar land)
A few people offered to volunteer for the 1st step (like workaway style). I know some "models" who'd help me with the second step. Now I need to MAKE SURE I can sell at a premium that can cover my costs before I do anything else, I think. Anyone knows how I can do that? I could survey owners or potential owners but idk if I should take their input as fact.
Alternatively I can just go to a green area of the country and market someone else's land with models, as a proof of concept?
PS. Cost of modifying the land isn't cheap. Especially undoing modifications if I need to. So I can't afford to screw this up

Please no.
This is already a big problem we have with the world today, people trying to make money from land and housing. We need less people doing shit like this. Causing housing market issues just to make money.
Also, it might backfire on you. More "clutter" is more work/cost for a prospective buyer. You would need to be restrictive to buyers that specifically want your style, which could put you in a position of discrimination.
You could say, "but I'm only one person, it's not going to make a difference" not thinking about the millions of other people out there doing the same thing. Don't do this, just sell it and move on if you're going to sell it.
This is agricultural land. People are not allowed to build houses on this land. I have nothing to do with housing market issues hapenning in my country or your country
If I wasn't nice, I'd tell you to go back to reddit
Well, your post says otherwise.
You have the intent to do actions that could impact the housing/land market.
BUT you noted that people can't live on agricultural land where you are at just now. so that makes a big difference, and had you of made that clear your post might have been a little bit more well received.
So I think that is an interesting idea but you are still going against the grain there.
There are many people here that are very against the exact thing you are trying to do, so the reddit quip you made is kinda backwards lol.
