Why Buyers Need Research Texas Properties

By Steven Johnson


When it comes to Texas, there are often a number of properties for sale. There are also a number of different types of Texas properties for sale in different areas. Buyers may want to research the state to determine which area is best for the intended use of any buildings or land acquired in the process.

Texas, being the state with the largest land mass in the lower 48 often has a great deal of acreage for sale. Whether that acreage includes a home, homes or other buildings is a question buyers need ask before signing any agreement. Also, as a number of oil and gas companies own, lease and operate in the state, it is important to assure that the land does not host any old oil and gas equipment, burnt out buildings, uncapped oil and gas wells, or any other negative aspects.

Property rights, especially with regards to open land and acreage can often be shared between private and public entities. As such, it is advised that buyers always review property records for any lands of interest. In doing so, buyers can assure that the owner has a right to sell off any buildings, land or equipment that may reside on the site at the time of sell.

If looking to obtain oil and gas properties, there are often a number of different ways to do so. Individuals can contact a major oil and gas energy firm, use online listing sites and mineral forums, or post an ad in a local newspaper. While real estate agents often assist in purchasing and selling homes with acreage, oil and gas lands often require a land-man or acquisitions director to help throughout the process.

It should also be noted that individuals can often find some great deals on acreage, buildings and homes in smaller cities and towns. Whereas, the larger cities like Houston and Austin have seen rising prices in home and land sales in recent years. Still, some great deals can be found in smaller towns like Fort Worth, Saginaw and Arlington, cities which are still small but growing.

Rural land prices have increased drastically in recent years. These values are often based on several years of ownership and improvement. When it comes to oil and gas lands and leases, values often depend on the number of minerals per acre, the amount the owner receives in royalty payments with a three-year projection on income related to any ongoing working interests.

One of the largest and most populous states, residents often have a vibrant sense of state pride. One area in which Texans are quite proud is related to the diversified diet in the state. Whether bar-b-que, Italian, seafood, Tex-Mex or other cuisines, the state truly has something for everyone.

One of the most important decisions for buyers is in which region of the state to make a purchase. Texas host several different geological zones, each with a distinct purpose and varied culture. Whether for agriculture, business, farming, food, ranching or pleasure, the panhandle, Central, North, East, South, West and the gulf coast all have a lot to offer.
