The effects of Covid-19 have dramatically affected the sales of small and large acreage tracts in rural areas surrounding Dallas – Fort Worth, Houston and Austin. While some buyers have no problem viewing farm and ranch properties, we’ve experienced a few that want to wait until the spread of the virus slows further. Sales that closed in April and early May could have been properties put under contract before the dangers of the COVID-19 virus were realized.
The following data was harvested from Multiple Listing Services in Houston, Dallas – Fort Worth, and Austin TX ninety miles from downtown Houston, Austin and Arlington. We’ve compared sales in the last 30 days versus a year ago.
Below are the number of sales of tracts and homes with ten to twenty acres that sold in the last 30 days versus last year.
Below are tracts and homes with twenty to fifty acres that sold.
Below are tracts and homes with fifty to one hundred acres that sold.
Below are tracts and homes with one hundred to two hundred fifty acres that sold.
Below are tracts and homes with two hundred fifty acres and more that sold.
With Covid-19 cases appearing to be on the downslide in Texas, and with more Texas businesses opening up, hopefully, we’ve seen the slowest period for real estate sales in the near term. Reports indicate that buyer traffic is increasing and low mortgage rates are flirting with going sub 3% on the 15-year mortgage loan.
Despite tighter lending on home purchases and refinances, farm and ranch loans are not under the same regulations and have not appeared to have been as negatively impacted.

Conservative-leaning city governments and environmentalists are united in their opposition of the proposed route of pipeline giant Kinder Morgan’s 430-mile (690-kilometer), $2 billion natural gas expressway.
Known as the Kinder Morgan Permian Highway, the pipeline is designed to collect the natural gas that is captured when drilling for oil in the Permian Basin. A natural byproduct of oil drilling, currently the natural gas captured in the Permian, is often just burned off, a process known as flaring.
Many Ranchers and land owners in central Texas are up in arms over the proposed route of the 430-mile, $2 billion pipeline. If completed, the pipeline will deliver up to 2 billion cubic feet (56.6 million cubic meters) of natural gas — enough to fuel 31,500 homes for one day –as it passes through 16 Texas counties. Some of which would pass through beautiful Texas hill country land, including just south of Fredericksburg, and just north of Blanco, Texas. View the interactive map of the Kinder Morgan Permian Pipeliine here.
Opponents of the route have pointed to the potential contamination of the region’s porous Edwards Aquifer, the impact it would have on an environmentally sensitive area, and the lack of public engagement and oversight in the routing process.
Electric, telephone and water utilities must follow rules from the Texas Public Utility Commission. However, oil and gas companies do not need to seek the approval of the Texas Railroad Commission or affected municipalities for their proposed route. They also have no formal public process to hear from affected landowners.
Landowners in the pipeline’s path and their compadres opposing the proposed path, have held town halls, formed grassroots community campaigns, and lodged lawsuits against Kinder Morgan, as Kinder Morgan has exercised eminent domain to secure land along the proposed path.
A judge has ruled in favor of the Houston-based company in one legal challenge attempting to block the project on grounds that the Texas Railroad Commission doesn’t provide enough state oversight or regulation. That ruling is currently being appealed.
There is also concern that Kinder Morgan’s success would set a precedent for other companies interested in building conduits through the Hill Country, said Chuck Lesniak, who serves on an advisory committee for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
“I do know that the industry is paying attention to this project, and the legal issues, because from a legal standpoint, if this goes south on Kinder Morgan, it has enormous impacts on other pipeline projects proposed for Texas,” Lesniak said.
It appears that according to this unofficial interactive map of the Permian Highway, that the route will go through a good stretch of Lavaca County.
