[quote=Anonymous]House built early 1900s.   We did a major renovation - complete re-wiring, plumbing, heating, added steel to structure, new kitchen, floors, some minor additions (that we worked to make look original).   Had to do it to make it livable.  When you start, you find some things behind the walls are scary  - so rewiring is added to list.    DH in the business and he did a lot himself so we did the project at probably 1/3 the cost.   But We did not do a "full" renovation  or "gut"  so roof will need to replaced in next decade or so, some windows to be replaced - Closets - sigh- are still too small.    House has a lot of charm - but old houses unless full gut, will continue to take money.

Teardowns, permits, fees, approval can be expensive especially depending on the jurisidiction     New building costs vary a lot - not for unreasonable factors - including a build that doesn't completely stand out in the neighborhood .  That's partially why you see a variety of quotes on this site. [/quote]
