Holly Springs sold comps: $233/SF median (Redfin Aug 2026). Even at generous $250/SF with 6 homes on septic, deal runs negative. Sewer pump station limitation confirmed by listing agent (prior rezone attempt revealed pump capacity issue). MAO = N/A — no viable path.

Diligence Gates
GO: Location opposite Peterson Station at Sunset Lake (300+ apartments, 40K SF retail) is strong if sewer were available. STOP: Sewer pump station confirmed at capacity. No rezone to townhomes possible without major pump station upgrade — cost not disclosed. Seller knows and has disclosed the issue. STOP: At 3.97 acres with septic-only, density is severely limited; financials are negative even at best-case $250/SF.
Verdict

PASS — sewer pump capacity is a hard stop. The location adjacent to Peterson Station would be excellent for 10–15 townhomes, but without sewer the economics reverse. Pass unless Holly Springs commits to a pump station upgrade (monitor town capital improvement plan). Best case septic-only: –$185,443 loss (–6.2% margin).
