Best In Land Real Estate™

🏆 Ranked #1 Oldest Housing Stock in America — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. What happens when the oldest homes in the U.S. are also the most valuable land assets? In Pottsville, the median home is 78 years old — the oldest in any small-town metro. But that’s not a red flag. It’s a green light for land investors. The aging housing stock signals a market where infrastructure is obsolete, but land value is surging — a rare case where decay fuels appreciation. This data comes directly from ALEX Intelligence’s national ranking: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-01-land-land-median-home-age-msa-us-micro For multi-state land investors in TX, NC, AL, and CO, this is a reminder: the future isn’t in new construction. It’s in land that outlives its houses.
