Location, Location, Location is the popular refrain. So, let's see. 
If we mine all the land closings in Gillespie County over the last 12 years, per section, and identify the median sale price of each sample, we can compare those median sale prices and see how much location matters.

Here are pictures of data pulls showing red closing dots from four sections, with samples pulled in a five mile geo-circle radius in each instance.

Southwest Gillespie: Median Sale Price: $249,375



Going counter clockwise, the market value declines -14.937%
Southeast Gillespie County: Median Sale Price $212,127



Continuing counter clockwise, the market value increases +17.85% to the Wine Road 290 Corridor.
Northeast Gillespie County: Median Sale Price $250,000


Continuing counter clockwise, the market value decreases -12.8%
Northwest Gillespie County: Median Sale Price $218,000


So, the data clearly supports the principle that location matters, and it's important to have the data to price your property, make an offer or confirm a contract price.
