Lot comps and site risk for land and A&D loans

REOS pulls together the public-record side of a land or acquisition and development loan: what lots are selling for, which builders hold land nearby, the site's flood, wetland and sewer constraints, and its zoning history.

Figures as of October 5, 2026.

Comps priced per lot

Takedowns, single builder lots and individual lot sales are sorted separately and priced per lot from county records, so a comp set compares the same kind of sale. See lot sales for how prices are worked out.

Site risk in one place

Flood zones, wetlands, slope, soils, and water and sewer availability, along with net buildable acres and the lot count the zoning allows. More on site analysis.

Zoning history

Rezonings, plats and variances on and around a site, from filing to decision, in 122 jurisdictions.

Who else is in the market

Builder-owned lots shows which builders hold lots in the submarket and how many.

To check a borrower's land budget, the free residual land value calculator runs the same residual math appraisers call the land residual technique, and the guide walks through each line.

REOS gathers and analyzes public records. It isn't an appraiser and doesn't give opinions of value, so treat it as one input to your own work.
