Iowa land auction results from February 7–13, 2026, provide farmland owners with a clear view of buyer demand, pricing trends, and current market conditions across the state.
This week’s activity included tillable, CRP, development-influenced, and mixed-use tracts across multiple Iowa counties.
For landowners evaluating whether now is the right time to sell, reviewing Iowa land auction results weekly offers valuable insight into how buyers are responding to available inventory.
Weekly Overview of Iowa Land Auction Results
This week’s Iowa land auction results covered a broad range of land types and price points:
-
Tillable farms
-
CRP and mixed-use tracts
-
Development-influenced properties
-
Farmstead-included acreage
Sale prices ranged from approximately $4,700 to $19,100 per acre, depending on land type, CSR2 rating, and location. As a result, productivity and positioning continue to play a major role in pricing outcomes.
What Iowa Land Auction Results Show About Buyer Demand
Strong Performance for High-Quality Tillable Land
Several higher-CSR2 tillable farms performed well this week:
-
Polk County (Tillable-Development) sold at $19,100 per acre
-
Floyd County Tillable reached $17,400 per acre
-
Dubuque County Tillable brought $16,300 per acre
Consequently, productive, well-located farms continue to attract competitive bidding when exposed properly through auction.
Seller takeaway: High-quality tillable acres remain in demand when supported by accurate data and professional marketing.
Productivity Continues to Influence Pricing
In addition to total price per acre, Iowa land auction results again highlighted the importance of CSR2 ratings and tillable acreage.
For example:
-
Farms with CSR2 ratings in the high 80s and low 90s commanded stronger efficiency pricing.
-
Lower-CSR2 or mixed-use tracts reflected more conservative bidding.
-
$ per CSR2 ranged widely depending on land type and buyer pool.
Therefore, sellers should ensure soil data, tillable breakdowns, and mapping are clearly presented prior to auction.
CRP and Mixed-Use Tracts Show Steady Interest
This week also included several CRP and mixed-use properties in Mahaska County and Des Moines County.
While these tracts traded at more moderate per-acre levels compared to prime tillable land, they still demonstrated consistent buyer participation.
As a result, CRP and mixed-use acreage can perform effectively at auction when expectations are aligned with market realities.
Seller takeaway: Auctions are not limited to high-end tillable farms. Strategy and positioning matter just as much as soil rating.
“No Sale” and Undisclosed Results Provide Market Signals
One Johnson County tract was reported as No Sale. Both Greene County and Cherokee County had sales with Undisclosed results.
Importantly, Iowa land auction results that include no-sale or undisclosed outcomes should not be viewed negatively. Instead, they offer market feedback on timing, reserve strategy, or buyer readiness.
In many cases, these results help landowners refine their approach before bringing property back to market.
Why Weekly Iowa Land Auction Results Matter to Sellers

-
