I haven’t built in a few years so trying to get a pulse on the industry. No lot no site work- just a slab on grade basic builder grade home was quoted 500 per foot in Colorado. Obviously will be taking to more builders but surely that’s not even close? I was expecting 150-200 a foot for a basic home not counting the lot or site work. Any builders here?

not residential

New spec houses in my area are on the market for about $200/sq ft. I would assume the cost to build would be a bit less.

Last time I asked a superintendent, he said they were over $300ft; but I don’t know what all he included in that (well, septic, etc…). Custom home, not real fancy, but pretty dang nice.

New home here, $200ish a foot

Depending on where in Colorado. Denver/metro probably not...but a resort town? Easily $500/ft or more

$200 sq.ft.

Resort area

Shop around, but prepare to grab your ankles. Building costs are absolutely crazy here. I wanted to do a storage shed recently and was quoted $1000/yard for concrete.

Starter homes used to be 120-150 sq ft. Custom was in the 200 range.

Nowadays, 200 is starter home 3 bed, 2 bath track home.

400-500 for custom home.

High cost of living areas add 50%

$200+ per square foot. Although I just sold a new build for $192/sqft with the quarter acre subdivision lot included in the price.

I don't think you can get a builder here to call you back for under 400k.

Did a little research. I would say $200 per s/ft for the Magnolia area.

That’s the upper end of my budget for the house only- no site work. I could stomach that. For 500 a foot I’ll just not do it at all.. I gotta call some more builders.

It's just money
