I found the listing. $550k. Op, ok if I post it? I don’t think anyone here is going steal it out from under you.

Flood zone B with elevation of 18.7 feet.

"Active Under Contract" yikes!

That house looks super low based on the other houses that can be seen in the background.

This is a major Problem I have with new builds. Often very little is budgeted for exterior property work like fine grading, drainage and landscaping. I’ve done my fair share of 500k homes with landscape budgets at $7500 including sod.

GC’s don’t grade properly and often have inadequate sub base littered with trash, concrete debris, and numerous divots.

To the OP, I wouldn’t buy this house without major contingencies on addressing the drainage, verification of the finished floor elevations and a through home inspection.

I was being purposefully vague on it since this all happened after I was already under contract on it. I didn’t know if talking on here about it was somehow in violation of the contract in case the builder frequented tigerdroppings.
