First off, why would anyone WANT to live in Detroit? You couldn't pay me to take a house there, chances of living aren't good at all.
Around here, Farmland is north of 10K an acre, not sure exactly how far north because not a lot sells, and every time a parcel comes up, a "new" record price is established. Bought mine in 2000 for $ 2,500 an acre, that was "record" territory then, should have bought more in 2009 when it was $ 4,500.........

Pat you couldn't pay me enough, or drag me there either to any city.
Sounds like your land values are going very similar to mine here.
Let's hear from you guys in the other states what is actually happening in real life there.

Yes a little
I am still fired up about it and worked like a dog all summer, but i did take a few minuets to fish one evening while i was BBQ ing some chicken for dinner. Hooked a nice trout and cooked him up for desert = was really good .
It is a BIG project for 1 guy to finish by himself with a good number of years on his body, plenty of room if you want to come up and help
oops i mean fish I am making lot's of sweat equity and if/when wife gives up on me i will not be sleeping in my truck

I live in the very NW corner of Iowa. The land here is off the charts. Its all flat farm land with almost perfect black dirt. Some feilds within 10 miles of my house have been going for over $20k/ acer. Thats just plain nuts. No way in two liftimes can you turn a profit on that dirt. The dirt here in Sioux county turns in some of the best yeilds in the country but 20K is just stupid.
