  Same here, no courier. What gives?

  As SeraphimNeeded said, I achieved this today with Morthal without Thane status. I did the full quest of Investigating the Burned House (I'll save the spoilers) and the Jarl then said I could obtain Thane Status if I would help other people in town (I had done 2 previous Dragon hunts for the town so it said I was at 2/3 completed towards Thane). Either way I was able to buy the land from Aslfur in the other room.
  
  I never saw a courier at all, I simply was able to buy the land immediately after turning in the last part of the Morthal Burned House questline.

  When you start Skyrim after downloading the Hearthfire DLC, travel to a major city. There you -should- be greeted by a courier who has a letter for you, telling you to visit one of three Jarls (In Falkreath, Dawnstar and Morthal).
  
  Once you've acquired and read said letter, visit the Jarl. Drop 5000 gold into their pockets and BAM, you've got yourself some land and 10G.
  
  If the Jarl doesn't have a conversation option for purchasing land, go for something like "I'm looking for work." Then do the job, return, and you should be right as rain.

  You might want to add that you have to do a favor for the Jarl before his steward will sell you a plot of land.
