With that said, I would take a close look at the location and model before buying. What’s the worse case, you get a great home you enjoy living in.
I sold a house south of 44 last April that I built on a really nice view lot and held for 2 years. I almost doubled my purchase price which was a huge profit. That cash was put into another new build where I think there’s a substantial profit to made on the new house. View lots really help to sell a house here in TV. Good luck to the OP in your decision.
