In any case, I take it as a matter of tradeoffs. And the financial side of it is one of the tradeoffs. I probably would not build my own house - despite all the benefits - if it cost me double compared to a house readily available for sale, for example.
- philomath_mn 3y agoI just moved into my semi-custom build. Nothing crazy, economical design (basically a big box), and it came out to ~$190 / sq ft which is crazy cheap, but still at least 25% too high compared to slightly older comps in my area. This should be our home for at least 15 years though since I have a good track record of remote work, family in the area, and young kids. So hopefully the extra expense won't matter as much in the long run I don't think building is ever cheaper unless you put years of your own labor into it and you are really good at that kind of stuff
