If you can prove you agreed on a deadline for paying the balance, you can refund the buyer and sell the land to someone else.

Good day,

As I see it, you have three options- You can contact a lawyer to write a letter of demand to him to pay the balance within a period of time, while informing him that the land still belongs to you. Or you can refund his money and resell your land to someone else. Or You can also sell as it is, draft a proper legal document and refund his money from the money you sold the land for. But contact a lawyer immediately to guide you as the situation unfolds.
