> New construction costs in much of the country are $100-200/sqft [1] I don't believe that for a moment. If you do, why don't you try to get a 1000sqft home built for $100K? Cheap housing! If that was actually possible (in the US), why isn't everyone doing it? Why is everyone complaining about housing prices instead of just having their own custom homes built for a mere $100K?
