I assume talk to a realtor, but I'm not sure. Maybe a big national one would have people on staff who specialise in this scenario and have the appropriate rolodex? I just try to operate on the philosophy that if I wouldn't buy it if I didn't already have it then I should probably sell it. Sounds like this house fits that for you in that you probably wouldn't buy a house with government development looming over it. If you're not able to get much now its because you wont get much later anyway.
