Recreation is the primary motive fueling the rural Texas land market." This statement by Judon Fambrough, Senior Lecturer in Real Estate Law of the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University (REC), shouldn't be a surprise to observers of the Texas land market. In fact, there isn't anything close to recreation, particularly hunting and fishing, as a motive for buyers of Texas land. The following chart from Charles E. Gilliland, Research Economist of the REC, shows the buyer motives rated as "very important" in the REC fall 2002 survey of Texas real estate appraisers, brokers, lenders and government officials. The survey question recorded the groups' opinion of all factors that were "very important" in land purchase decisions; most buyers incorporate several factors in their decision, and thus the categories add to more than 100%. Figure 1 shows that those surveyed believe 80% of buyers rate hunting and fishing quality as very important in their land purchase decision, up from 67% in the fall 2001 survey. Gilliland says that according to their surveys, recreation has been the dominant motive of Texas land buyers since spring 1995. These observations may have relevance to south central Oklahoma land values, where many Metroplex buyers are seeking less expensive retreats than the going prices in Texas. These trends should be taken into consideration when making land management decisions. Game animals are a product of native vegetation. They are not generally abundant in landscapes dominated by introduced vegetation, whether it is forage or crops. Knowledgeable land buyers understand this. The REC produces a report which divides Texas into 33 Land Market Areas (LMA). The most recent data available is their Fall 2001 report. Their report on LMA 22, containing Montague, Cooke, Grayson and Fannin counties of the NF Agricultural Division's Texas service area, includes Table 1. Statewide values are listed for comparison. Gilliland points out that "…rangeland generally attracts the recreational buyers prevalent in today's market." Prudent land managers should consider conversion costs, management costs, opportunity costs of alternate enterprises and impacts on future land values before converting native vegetation to other land uses. © 1997-2005 by The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, Inc.

Extreme examples perhaps, but not unknown when it comes to owning property abroad says Saundra Satterlee 1. European Union 2. Worldwide 3. Terms and Checks page1 2 3 European Union No two countries in the world have identical legal systems, nor are the rules and regulations that govern the purchase of property the same. Unfortunately, potential property buyers often assume otherwise, and hence open themselves up to the possibility of getting bitten by the legal intricacies of a foreign property market. European Union Britons buying property in the EU can take some comfort in the knowledge that they are subject to the same rules and regulations as the locals, or any other EU citizens for that matter. But - and this is a big but - not one single EU country has the same buying procedures as another. Individual countries have their own property laws. For example, in Spain any outstanding debts attached to a property become the responsibility of the new owner. Or, if you purchase a farmhouse or villa with agricultural land in Italy, your farming neighbours could exercise the right of pre-emption, that is, buy back the land for less than its purchase price. This is a complicated area of tax and law, warns international estate agents Knight Frank. Not only countries, but regions too may have their own property specific regulations. A national Spanish law on development was revamped and passed by the Valencian legislature in 1994 for instance, which gave local developers in certain circumstances the right to demand payments for infrastructure improvements or to obtain repossession orders. The different systems of property purchase within the EU are echoed further afield.
