National Land Realty Finds Acreage Prices Remain Stable Through First Semester

National Land Realty

National Land Realty (NLR), the nation's fastest-growing land brokerage firm specializing in farm, ranch, country estates, timber, recreational, and commercial development properties, has released its latest data on land sales across the United States. The report draws from NLR’s network of over 400 agents and brokers in 48 states to provide a year-to-date analysis of Q1 and Q2 agricultural land sales for 2024. It demonstrates stability in the national aggregate for average price per acre (PPA), while highlighting notable trends within outliers like Louisiana, Florida, and California. National Aggregate The data from NLR’s latest report showed that the average price per acre across the country remained relatively stable, having increased by only about 5% nationally. This comes in the wake of significant farmland appreciation over the past few years, with many parts of the country seeing record prices for farmland in 2023. “Land prices have remained high in spite of increased input costs and interest rates, indicating significant demand across the country for irrigated and available farmland. This is largely due to massive consumer demand for produce, meat, dairy, and feed,” said Ronnie Richardson, CEO at NLR. “While further increases are unlikely for the moment, I believe these values will remain strong for the foreseeable future—barring extensive drought, natural disasters, or an industry-shaking event akin to the COVID-19 pandemic.” Louisiana According to NLR, the data found that the average price per acre in Louisiana decreased by $10,866, primarily due to some of the larger landowners beginning to divest themselves of some farmland holdings. “Louisiana is largely farmland, where land values are influenced by the same forces as elsewhere: supply and demand. Price adjustments occur when production costs rise and commodity prices fall,” said Richardson. “Even with a slight decrease in price per acre, purchasing land remains attractive as divestments create opportunities for buyers to capitalize on economies of scale.” California Data revealed that California's average price per acre dropped by $12,226 over the past year—a significant 27% decline. This decrease is likely driven by a combination of high interest rates and low commodity prices for popular crops like almonds and walnuts. Since prices are relatively high in California overall, percentage-based factors like tax or interest-rate hikes hit the California market harder than they do other states. “Reports of an exodus from California real estate have little implications for the agricultural market, which remains generally unaffected by geopolitics. Taxes and interest rates are far more likely to influence the market,” said Richardson. “We do have a couple of large institutional investors looking to exit the California farmland market, but there are no buyers thus far. They may need to adjust their prices to match demand if they are serious about liquidating. With the average price per acre already down, I'd recommend watching the market closely and holding off on purchases for now." Florida In Florida, the average price per acre surged by $24,000 from 2023 to 2024, reflecting a remarkable 118% increase. This significant rise is driven primarily by the soaring demand for land in the state over the past year. Florida remains one of the top destinations for people moving to different states in the US, meaning this demand for available land in Florida isn’t likely to change anytime soon. “It's the same issue here: supply and demand,” said Richardson. “Even though the price per acre is up, I would still recommend buying land in Florida as demand continues to rise. I would focus on transitional properties in particular as more people continue to move into the state. The key to Florida is simple: demand is driving everything."

Why Trust Deed Investments Are Worth A Deeper Look

Ignite Funding

By James Blacker, Benzinga Find out more about trust deed investing by visiting the Ignite Funding website or text the word “Benzinga” to 702-919-4281 for additional information. Trust deeds can offer a lucrative investment opportunity in the real estate market, yet many investors hesitate to dive in. Below, we take a look at some of the common barriers and misconceptions that often deter people from capitalizing on this financial avenue, and how to make the most of them. Demystifying Trust Deeds One of the biggest reasons that people shy away from trust deed investing is that many see it as a complex topic. The legal and financial jargon, along with property evaluations, can seem intimidating at first. However, by taking time to learn the fundamental principles and understanding the process step-by-step, potential investors have the chance to uncover hidden opportunities for financial growth. A helpful way to view trust deeds is as a bridge connecting borrowers in need of funds with investors seeking passive income. This financial arrangement is secured by real estate assets, potentially making it a win-win situation for both parties. Companies like Ignite Funding act as the loan servicing agent for these investments. Debunking Common Misconceptions One of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to trust deeds is that they are high-risk investments and susceptible to market volatility. In reality, however, they are a secure investment backed by tangible assets and, therefore, can offer more stability than stocks. Another misconception is that trust deeds are only for experienced real estate investors. However, the fact is that they are very accessible to anyone who wants to diversify their portfolio and earn passive income, even if they don’t have a very large amount of capital to invest. Many people also falsely associate trust deeds with predatory lending. In truth, loans provided through companies like Ignite Funding don’t necessarily come with outlandish terms or sky-high interest rates, with many borrowers seeking the services of such companies for their reliability and flexibility. Benefits Of Trust Deed Investing Trust deeds offer a way to diversify your portfolio and a relatively secure investment with the potential for high returns, thanks to interest rates that surpass those of traditional savings accounts or bonds. Another of the key benefits is the passive income stream generated through these investments, which provides a stable revenue source without the need for active property management. Furthermore, they are backed by real estate collateral, which reduces the risk exposure compared to other investments. How To Start Trust Deed Investing A good place to start on your trust deed investment journey is to educate yourself on the basics of real estate financing and property-backed investments. Understanding the process and risks involved can give you the confidence to begin investing. You could also seek the advice of financial advisors or experienced investors, who can help you with your specific investment goals. Before investing with any company, however, it is important to perform due diligence, ensuring that you find out critical information such as their track record and whether they are regulated. Navigating Risks As with any investment, trust deed investments come with risks. These include borrower defaults and the quality of the underlying real estate collateral. To mitigate these risks, investors should conduct due diligence on the property and ensure that they work with a reputable broker such as Ignite Funding, which stays attuned to market dynamics and conducts comprehensive risk assessments to give your investments the greatest chance of success. Embracing The Trust Deed Journey Whatever the reasons that have prevented you from investing in trust deeds, with the right knowledge and guidance, these barriers can be overcome – unlocking the potential for financial stability and passive income.

Nuvectis Pharma Rises in Pre-Market Following FDA Orphan Drug Designation for NXP800, Fueling Optimism Ahead of Key Clinical Data

Global Markets News

Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ: NVCT) has achieved a significant milestone with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granting Orphan Drug Designation for its lead candidate, NXP800. This designation, specifically for the treatment of ARID1a-deficient ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers, marks a critical step forward in Nuvectis’s mission to address unmet needs in oncology. Orphan Drug Designation: A Strategic Advantage The FDA’s Orphan Drug Designation is awarded to drugs that show promise in treating rare diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. For Nuvectis, this designation not only validates the potential of NXP800 but also provides several strategic benefits. These include tax credits for clinical trial costs, exemption from certain FDA fees, and potentially seven years of market exclusivity upon approval. NXP800 targets ARID1a-deficient cancers, a subset of ovarian cancers that present significant treatment challenges. The Orphan Drug Designation underscores the importance of this candidate in potentially offering a new, more effective treatment option for patients with this specific genetic mutation. Background and Market Impact This latest achievement builds on Nuvectis Pharma’s earlier successes. Earlier this year, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to NXP800 for its development in platinum-resistant, ARID1a-mutated ovarian cancer. The Fast Track status, combined with the Orphan Drug Designation, highlights the urgent need for innovative treatments in this space and positions NXP800 as a potential game-changer in oncology. Financial analysts have taken note of Nuvectis’s progress. H.C. Wainwright recently reiterated its buy rating for Nuvectis, setting a price target of $21. This optimistic outlook reflects the market’s confidence in the company’s strategic direction, particularly as it prepares to release key clinical data later this year. Anticipation for Upcoming Results The next few months are expected to be pivotal for Nuvectis Pharma. The company is poised to share updates from its ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial of NXP800, which targets patients with platinum-resistant, ARID1a-mutated ovarian cancer. This trial is being closely watched, as positive results could significantly advance the development of NXP800, bringing it closer to pivotal trials and eventual regulatory approval. Additionally, Nuvectis is also conducting a Phase 1a dose escalation study for NXP900, its second key candidate, which targets YES1/SRC-driven tumors. Updates from this study are expected to provide further insights into the safety and potential efficacy of NXP900. ### Nuvvectis' Full announcment, titled " Nuvectis Pharma Announces Orphan Drug Designation Granted by the FDA for NXP800 for the Treatment of ARID1a-deficient Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Primary Peritoneal Cancers" was published on August 29th, 2024. ### This article is for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as financial, investment or any form of professional advice, recommendation or endorsement.

Flash ‘Puts Parking on the Map’ with Google Search, Google Maps, and Now Waze

Flash

Flash today announced the full U.S. release of reservable parking transactions in Waze that Flash developed in collaboration with the popular navigation app. Waze joins Google Search and Google Maps in Flash’s growing portfolio of integrations which features parking options with Flash across all three major platforms, including many of the world’s largest parking operators and owners. Together, Flash and Waze set a new standard for how drivers find and pay for parking at 30,000 parking locations in North America. When drivers enter their destinations in Waze, the app now suggests nearby reservable parking locations. Drivers can see important details for selecting their preferred parking location such as cost, amenities, wheelchair-accessibility and valet options. Drivers can reserve and pay for the parking location they choose, and Waze will route them to the selected parking destination where they can access the parking facility with a digital pass. “Driver behaviors and expectations are shifting, and our efforts to embed reservable parking and charging experiences with leading apps and platforms anticipated that shift,” said Dan Roarty, Chief Digital Officer at Flash. “We can help parking asset owners and operators meet drivers in the apps and sites where they plan their travel and bring an end to the era of circling blocks, wasting time and fuel in the search for parking.” Early results prove that allowing drivers to book parking directly in the search and navigation apps they use most is a win for parking owners and operators. Over 90 percent of these drivers are new customers to the parking locations. They make Google parking reservations 8.5 hours in advance and at a median distance of 22.3 miles away from their destination. These customers plan ahead through digital services and trust the navigation apps they already use. “This is an exciting time in the parking industry as Flash continues to partner with Parkway to make our customer experience more seamless and integrated than ever,” said Robert Zuritsky, Parkway President and CEO. “Parkway is thrilled to see reservable parking at our locations made available through these services. Flash understands our business and continually innovates to deliver new channels and capabilities that drive additional customers and transactions to us.” Flash’s integrations with Waze, Google Search and Google Maps unify operators’ availability and pricing data and performance metrics across these Google properties. These properties join Flash’s growing integration footprint alongside existing relationships with Ticketmaster, hundreds of major event venues and automakers like Mercedes Benz and Hyundai. Flash’s flexible developer tools and payment configurations support the integration of Flash experiences into a wide range of interfaces, from desktop and mobile browsers to mobile apps, connected car dashboards and enterprise applications for employee parking and fleets. About Flash Flash is a pioneering technology company bringing seamless parking and EV charging experiences to drivers through a first-of-its-kind digital ecosystem.
