[quote=Anonymous]You need to go with a custom home builder -- they are building to spec (on a client's request). Most of the teardowns are from higher-volume builders that are speculative (no buyer identified until home is built and ont he market. They have a book of a couple of designs, and just pull one that fits the lot well, tweak it as needed, and go with that. That's why you'll see one after another arts-n-crafts style house from the same builder. Custom build costs a lot more of course. Can be 50% higher if you use high-end finishes also. This is what we did, and are very satisfied. It's our "forever home" so not really focused on resale value, but generally I think a lot of the nice stuff we did won't flow through to increased sale price, but who cares if that's not an issue for 20-30 years from now.[/quote]
