[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teardown is not cheaper unless you want the new home to be cheap. [b]Our pop the top price was $300K and our teardown and rebuild price was $500K[/b]. We did not have room to go back. Op - ask a builder to come out an evaluate your foundation - that will tell you a lot about what your options are. [/quote] Both seem on the high side (by about 100K) unless you were going high end and redoing everything (popping the top and gutting the house).[/quote] Actually, those were the lower end quotes. Tear downs do not just include the price of the home - there is excavating, fees, demolition, etc. Those can add up to a lot, especially if you are in a jurisdiction that is not fond of tearing down homes. The $300K was for a 1600 SF second story, 4 beds, 3 bath and renovating (gutting) 800 sf of the bottom floor of the home (including another bathroom). [/quote]
