So if I were looking at 1800-2000 sq above ground with finished basement, what is the rough cost to build with a low cost or average builder? $150-200 per sq ft above ground and $150 for basement? In Fairfax county.
Say I need to also tear down existing home in a 0.25 acre flat lot. |

| Op here again. I checked out the NDI website and turnkey was around 300k for over 2500 sq ft. But then people in the NDI thread said some optiins you really want to add. Anyway, if NDI pricing is fir low end homes, how about for middle of the road builders? Is Columbia Hones one? I can't tell pricing on their website and I drove by a nice house the other day with that sign outdoirs. I know Sekas is on the higher end. |

You can build a nice house for $150/sqft. Finished basement should cost about 60-70/sqft - it's cheap to finish it off.
Checkout ANV. They are good at some things, and not so good at others. But they are in that comfortable middle of the road position that's better than NDI/Classic, but not as nice as the better ones like Chadsworth, Bowa, etc. That said, 2000 sqft home is kind of small for a new build. Are you sure you want to build something that small? It's going to be a tough sell later. I would aim for at least 3500sqft, possibly 4k if you can swing it. |

All ANV prices are on their website. It depends on the model. |

Stanley martin, NDI and ANV prices don't include basement
Why would you build such a small house when a larger one is very little more. |

Not everyone wants an over sized house. 2000 stft is plenty of room - especially if designed well. |

True but if it's not your forever home then would be a mistake during sale time. Even if you don't plan to leave. For another 10 years. |

There is a shortage of newer, moderately-sized homes. I think it'd be in great demand if priced appropriately. |

The extra SF. between 2,000 and say 3500 SF will be the cheapest part of the transaction.
You really need to look at this as a land deal - if you build a house that small, you will have problems later |
