Buy land; they’re not making it anymore.

A long-circulating real-estate maxim urging people to purchase land because the supply is inherently limited. The earliest located printings present it as a humorous remark by an unnamed older man/Irishman, sometimes expanded with a punchline about population growth.

The line is an investment aphorism: land is scarce and cannot be newly produced, so demand pressures (especially from a growing population) tend to support or increase its value over time.

God almighty isn’t making any more land, but he’s makin babies every mornin’.

Buy land. They’re not making it anymore.

Buy land. God is not making any more of it.

Buy land. The good Lord stopped making it.
