An article from the Wall Street Journal Online, reports that despite the current economic downturn, there are some alternative real-estate related opportunities that are holding up. Rural land is becoming more valuable due to rising food costs, demand for corn-based ethanol and a growing desire by urbanites for a place in the country. According to land consultant Curtis Seltzer, asking prices for rural land "in most places seem to be holding their own, and are trending up in certain markets." Another alternative that is increasing in popularity is fractional real estate. Fractional real estate, where an owner buys a deeded share of a residence, is one way for people who don't want to acquire and maintain a second home to still have that vacation getaway. NorthCourse, a real estate advisory firm based in Parsippany, N.J., found that fractional real estate sales reached $1.98 billion in 2007, a 20% increase over the year before.
