A good rule of thumb is that the land “Cost” (sales price plus the above expenses to get the site ready to build) should not exceed 25% of the total project cost. There are obvious exceptions such as high end lots and smaller home sizes but the 25% rule is a nationally accepted starting point. The best way to know the “Cost” of a site is to consult with a building professional before agreeing to a final price and closing date.
