An average nice house today is $275 for construction only. Not including engineering, architectural, landscaping etc. All of that included and it’s $300/ft.

Low-end would be $250 for construction only, provided the house is 2500 sq ft or larger.

High-end is whatever you want it to be.

[Mike K.]

It just goes to show why home prices are the prices they are on the re-sale market. You can’t build a 3000 sq ft house for under a million bucks. And you need land.

[Mike K.]

Right now, no matter what you build, unless you’re doing it yourself or mostly yourself you’re looking at $700k to build a nice rancher. Go up a floor and boom, you’re at a million bucks.

The cheapest lot now is $500k, all in. And construction costs are rising 15% per annum.

Using your figures I can build one including architecture, engineering, land and landscaping for $900k.

Add financing interest, permitting, and incidentals, and you’re there, if you’re lucky.

Off the sliding patio doors theres a movable gazebo that seller will leave for new owner. Gated entrance & fenced completely with tons of extra parking, this property has endless possibilities on its spacious lot!

At least you won’t need to replace the bottom 3’ of drywall when it floods next, if it ever dries out.

Nice gazebo, too.

^ that seems crazy. Is there not side by side home available in the core for that?

Probably not already zoned so favourably.

 

Maybe this:

This explains why the current owner, Lot 2, hasn't built on it after fighting with the municipality and the neighbours for years. It has been a few years sign he finally got the approval.

 

The folks across the street who had the stop over development signs on their fence are going to love the blasting and/or drilling that will be needed to clear the lot for building. 

[Mike K.]

Like the blasting that cleared the way for their lots?
