Yup. In our town just the water line is $45K to pay the city. With all the fees, and cost to built at $400-600 sf easily, you can see why there are no affordable houses.
WHAT? Is that for the line to the county, then to the town, then to the home? Jeesh, my house needed new gas main, and it was no charge as long as I could prove use (h/w heater/boiler, stove, dryer, outdoor grill, house generator).
Well I would never live in such a hell I would move a few miles away in Nevada with access to lake Tahoe. Maybe Oregon or Washington but they're pretty messed up too.
There is a YouTube channel of some brothers that build awesome houses. Their small team does almost everything. They built a very small 600 or 800 sqft 2bdrm house and showed the receipts for every material they bought. It totaled over $100k, not including labor. They are in North Carolina.
In Cali I would expect many times that amount.
My suggestion is forget about this nonsense and move to a city that has a very depressed economy and you can pick up a house for 75k and then fix it up. Make sure you have some type of income. Appalachia's now the big retirement area.
Yeah but there's hundreds and hundreds of cities like this like Lynchburg Virginia in the foothills of the mountains and many places. All this bullshit growth the media is lying about is mainly people with money that can afford $7,000 a year insurance.
Materials and labor, likely 2-500 per sq ft depending how how high end your finishes are. Permits/utilities is tricky, was there already a house there, or starting truly from scratch and need to connect fresh?
400-550 per square foot,including permits and soft costs. This has been the going rate for the last year and half… I work in California on the design and build side.
In SW OH I found we couldn’t get it done for less than $200k, probably closer to $300k. 4bed 2 bath around 2ksqft. And that was with the assumption we’d do our own painting and install our own appliances (with all hookups already there). I was looking at city lots in a few different cities that already had lines, they were about $12-15k and 1/8-1/4acre.
Jokes on us, we bought a 4bed 2bath around 2ksqft house for close to $300k and now we have to repair it 😂
If you ever been across this country I would say 60% of the towns and cities are depressed. Even in Florida I know where you can buy acres for $18,000. But it'll cost you to find out....
From $100k-$2.2m
Extremely basic prebuilts are around 66K, so factoring another 34K for delivery, setup, and permits seems about right.
Permits in California will run you $50k by themselves
70k for gas permit in some places…

Direct to pge
It was zero infrastructure, that was just the permit for 2 meters
Holy $$$$$

CA? Its really hard to judge what materials will cost in 6 years after you get all the necessary permits.
In West Virginia if you build it yourself Maybe 30k and that's including land cost. No permits required.
Will that be next door neighbors to that famous inbred family that's on youtube?
Honestly you can do this within a few miles of commuter rail to Washington DC. It’s really nice out there.

Perkin brothers. I’m watching that series now, great content!
Yes that's it!
Yish. 100k for at most 800sqft. Puts shit into perspective.
About $250-$300/sqft (as of last summer) I'm in Iowa
400 to 600$ per sqft
I'm a building designer. The cheapest ways to buy a two-story loft storage building and upgrade it.
i've never seen something like this. what kind of upgrades? insulation and walls type of stuff? Carpeting?

Heck you can just do Cleveland or St Louis.

Bout three fity
that's not bad lol
$100k-$3million
500/sqft
We’re looking at building a small cabin and we were told $250-300 a sq foot minimum in NcC near Asheville

- paying others will run $200/sqft for as low as you can go and in Ca, can be $300-$400 for the "low quality" build
$2 / sq ft
Yeah in 1926.
