land value

Real estate price

Land value is the worth of a plot of land, excluding any buildings or improvements on it.

In real estate and taxation, distinguishing land value from total property value matters because land appreciates differently than structures: The land value alone was worth more than what we paid for the whole property.

Economists who follow Henry George argue that taxing land value rather than improvements would reduce speculation and encourage development.
