What is a rough estimate on a new construction of a 1800sq ft home with patio and built in swimming pool in backyard. Looking to build a lot for 120,000 and build on it. Thanks for the replies.

Geez. So many unknowns in this equation. That being said, the pool will run you at least $40k so I hope that $120 is for the lot and not your actual budget.

Super loaded question because the pool cost should be separate and it depends on a variety of factors like what sort of finishes do you expect, what sort of house style, etc.

Anywhere from $115-$300 sqft

Could exceed 300 if a woman is running the show...So many variables...

Paying 120 for the lot...and then bldg. Looking for estimate on 1800sq ft house and pool by itself.

My house is 1900 and it's costing us about 225,000.

You buying a $120,000 lot? Just that's what it's going to cost? No size, city/town, etc?
So many unknowns.
Oh and if you want a pool just buy a house in my opinion.

Thank you Johnny for a frame of reference but it also could have NOTHING that the OP is interested in.
Ceiling height? 8' 9' 10'...higher?
ranch or multi-level?
Custom doors? solid core, raised panel, hollow core flush?
Moldings? costs vary widely...no crown? 3" 4" 5" 2 piece, 3 piece...more?
Granite everywhere? No where?
I could go on and on. Stout could triple this list in 5 minutes...

If you are spending that much for a lot, isn't it a disservice to put that small of a house on it?
ETA: not trying to be a dick. Just seems odd to me

Just me and my wife. Why do I need such a expensive home when we take trips year round?? 1800 for just us with a nice Patio and pool is what we want. Why spend on space when I do not need it. Its why I am not in any debt.

Hi there, Buddy. Hope all is well with you.
on topic...the lot can determine many things too...
Posted on 9/29/16 at 9:47 am to tigerbait3488
You need to call a contractor not ask the ot. There is too many variables
Posted on 9/29/16 at 9:48 am to Johnny3tears
Understand and will call...was just looking for opinions. Thx

How much you got?
Posted on 9/29/16 at 10:05 am to tigerbait3488
I understand you might now want a bigger house now, but what about being able to add on/expand to the house if you end up having kids?
120k for lot is good chunk of change. Must be in a nice neighborhood or big piece of land.

shite I just bought .65 of an acre of 35,000. Just remember that right now is a sellers market so buyers aren't getting a lot of bang for the buck.
