A Guide to Buy virtual Land in Upland
Upland is a property trading game that allows users to buy, sell and trade virtual properties mapped to real-world addresses. It allows you to buy plots of land, and you can also make a return on the same plots, similar to the real-life rental property. Every land in Upland gets a 17% commission on the prices set. You can profit by selling off your property as long as you have the land ownership. Upland has some homes for sale in various cities around the US.
Properties in Upland are categorically placed in minted and unminted properties. Minted properties are owned by other players, while unminted are those that have never had an owner. So, how do you go about buying land in Upland?
The parcels of property in Upland are color-coded to differentiate them among all the parcels present.
- Bright Green: These include parcels that have not been minted and can be minted or purchased by any person, thus are available for sale.
- Dark Green: They stand for minted properties that UPX or USD can purchase. Their owners define the prices.
- Blue: The blue parcels stand for the land minted by other players and not listed on secondary markets. However, bids can be made on the lands, and owners are responsible for accepting or rejecting the various offers.
- Dark Blue: These are parcels that you own.
- Gray: These are lands that are not minted and locked, meaning no one owns them.
The General process of Buying land
Click on UPX World and choose Big Data properties. It includes a database with all property prices.
You then filter your search with the city you belong to. This is because one can only be able to mint property in the city they belong to. You can then choose Only FSA and change Property Status to Unlocked.
Select the Mint Price option, which allows you to filter properties based on their prices, primarily from low to high.
Search for the property within the game.
