What determines the price of forest?

For most people who decide to sell forest, the pressing problem is precisely determining the right price. Once you start looking for a buyer, you encounter countless advertisements promising to buy dearly and quickly – just type “forest purchase” or “forest price” into a search engine and you will find a flood of offers. The prices offered often surprise even the owner, yet a preliminary valuation often does not match the real market price and is not the final sum of the transaction.

Calculating the price of forest is no easy task, so only a professional – a forest management specialist with the relevant education – can calculate it accurately.

The main part of the price is made up not by the location or the area of the forest, but by what kind of stand grows on the plot. We often hear from people wanting to sell that their forest is next to a beautiful lake, near a good road and so on. Yet if the forest is sold as a stand, the location does not affect its price – what matters is the species of the stand growing there.

Location matters in two cases. When valuing forest suitable for rural tourism, forests near bodies of water are more valuable. And forest as a potential site for a homestead, where the land-use purpose can be changed, is considerably more expensive around Vilnius and near other larger Lithuanian cities.
