Why site costs sink land deals
The purchase price is the visible number. The invisible ones — well drilling, septic, clearing, soil work, utility connections, and development charges — routinely add five to six figures, and they vary wildly by location. Estimating them before you offer is the difference between a deal and a money pit: “city sewer nearby” alone can hide a $100,000+ gap.
