You may not resell it readily without offering the buyer a "fantastic deal". I took this photo sitting on the shoulder of a busy 4 lane highway.
OK, it's noisy and that doesn't bother you.
That may be the least of the considerations a buyer will have when it's time for you to resell the home.
- Would you let small children play in the yard without supervision?
- Of course, you'll need a fence if you have children or a dog
- Will you plant trees to create privacy? They won't minimize the noise.
- Once you put in trees you won't have much area left for children, deck or dogs
- Did you investigate to determine what else may be planned for this major thoroughfare?
- If the the community doesn't have a pool or tennis courts that could have a negative impact with many buyers.
- Did you come out to the area about 9:00 PM to check traffic?
- Finally, did the "fantastic deal" include a security system?
It stands to reason that not every lot in a subdivision is in a prime location, but every one will be bought and can be resold. However, location is a primary consideration for the majority of buyers.
The real problem is you didn't have a Realtor® assist you in deciding on a home that would meet your needs, the needs of the majority of buyers and be a sound investment.
