20 Years Out West: Ranch Real Estate in 2025 and Beyond

As we wrap up 2025 and Mirr Ranch Group’s 20th year, Haley is joined by MRG founder Ken Mirr for a wide-ranging conversation on where the market stands today, and where it’s headed next.

With two decades of experience in the rearview mirror, they break down the trends shaping ranch real estate across the West, from who’s buying and what’s driving deals to why costs continue to rise. Ken shares insight into how wealth, stewardship, and land use intersect, why the ranch real estate market remains resilient, and where opportunity may emerge in 2026 and beyond.

Join us for a special interview as we look back at the lessons learned over the last 20 years, reflect on 2025, and look ahead. We'll explore the future of land ownership and how to navigate the increasingly complex world of ranch real estate. 

And most importantly, from all of us at Mirr Ranch Group,  happy holidays!
