land speculation

Land speculation is the practice of buying land with the expectation that its value will increase over time, allowing the investor to sell it later for a profit. Speculators often purchase undeveloped or underdeveloped land in areas they believe will experience growth due to factors such as urban expansion, infrastructure development, or changes in zoning laws. While it can yield significant profits, land speculation carries risks, as property values can decrease or remain stagnant. Successful speculators research market trends, demographic changes, and economic indicators to make informed decisions about their investments.
