Total final land value versus selling price

I am looking at a piece of land with the only improvement being a well. The Missoula County Property Info System has the total final land value/2003 full reappraisal value of $62,416.00. The sellers are asking much more than that - $90K. What would a realistic and fair price be?

FIRST ANSWER

Property values in the Missoula area have increased dramatically since 2003 (single family homes have increased by over 30%, bare land by even more)

2008 bare land Stats: The median sold price for .....

...less than 1 acre in the Missoula area was $79,900

...1-5 acres in the Missoula area was $145,803

The fact is that you can't use values from 2003 to determine current market value - The only way to determine a "realistic and fair price" is to analyze comparable bare land sold within the past 3-6 months
