Selling LAND in Lothian, MD. Passed Perc, BUT...
Hi Everyone! It's not a waterfront property. I had it listed but they had it listed as Open Space, and it is Residential Agricultural... The previous agent advised me to perc for 2500sf and now the builders said they want it at least 3500. What options do I have? Do I really need to re-perc or is there anything else I can do or say?
Sounds to me like you'll need to reperc to satisfy this particular buyer or simply pass and wait for the next buyer. The buyer wants you to prove the risk that the land will support a larger drain field. Your realtors advice was reasonable for getting a presale, no house plan perc. You don't say the lot size or topography but generally So MD soils are not difficult if you're not near water front. If your lot is desirable enough and you hold firm, this buyer may take the risk themselves and have it reperced post sale for their specific house plan. Best wishes.
