re: Building a house. Build now or wait to see if prices fall?

The cost of building a house will continue to rise. That is just inflation. Tariffs does have an impact but it's minimal. My question to you is, how custom do you want your house to be? Two different people can build the exact same house but one can be $100k more in custom upgrades.

Some of the other items that can drive your cost up. Do you need pilings, are you doing tall ceilings, etc.

I'm 50% into a house build and the little items adds up...
