In this episode, Tim and Tom Dosch dive deep into one of the biggest questions landowners face in 2025: Should you sell your land now, or hold it?
They reflect on their recent summer readings and lessons learned from books like 10x is Easier than 2x by Dan Sullivan, applying those insights to the fast-changing Texas land market. With interest rates holding high, global tariffs creating uncertainty, and market timing growing increasingly complex, the Dosch brothers explain why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.
Drawing from both their brokerage and development experience, they explore how seller motivations, property characteristics, capital markets, and future risks all factor into whether it's the right time to sell—or wait.
Key Takeaways
There’s no universal answer to the question of when to sell; context and goals matter.
Time kills deals. Many land deals take 6–12 months to close, so delayed decisions can mean missed cycles.
Developers holding land too long without executing a project may face shrinking IRRs and increased risk.
Patient landowners may benefit from selling sooner if market risk and opportunity cost outweigh potential gains.
Evaluate not just price but also reinvestment opportunities, quality of life, and purpose.
In today’s complex environment, strategic advice from experienced brokers matters more than ever.
