I'd think housing prices will affect land prices.

The youngster I saw this morning will have to move on. Pileated
pairs, which are strongly monogamous, presumed mated for life,
require from 127 to 384 acres of territory here in Missouri,
depending on forest density. In northeastern and western Oregon,
studies found they need over a thousand acres. Populations have
increased in the last few decades especially in the eastern half of
the country due to old farmland reverting to forest. They keep the
same home territory but make a new nest cavity each year, so need an
ample supply of large trees suitable for major excavation. No more
than one brood per year of one to eight naked kids are produced. I
feel fortunate that they like it here at Heartwood.
