Well then, who the heck buys a $1.5 million house and then leaves it with a dirt lot for 2 years? Maybe they should have held some of the downpayment money in reserve for landscaping?
There’s no way I’d buy a 2 year old house for far in excess of a million dollars when it has zero landscaping. You’re looking at at least $50k post purchase just to put in grass, shrubs and irrigation.
