Have you priced materials lately?
Framing package, mechanical, plumbing, electric, roof, concrete, windows, floor coverings, cabinets and millwork, etc...? The list of needed materials is large!
Not mention lot improvements and mitigation fees!
This is why homes are so expensive!

Let's see, 4,000 - 5,000 sq.ft. building lots are selling for $120,000+ in Snohomish County.
Then you're looking at $80.00 - $100.00 per sq.ft. to build the house.
It gets expensive very quiclky!
That is why, even though I am a contractor, I will stay in my 40 year old 2100 sq.ft. home.
I love the low monthly payment!
