If I were thinking about this, I'd opt to buy something existing or build new to fit your needs.
We are going in circles trying to figure out what we want to do. Haven't found anything we want on the market, considering buying one of the lots around us but the wife can't get past the price of the lot.
We have a sizeable lot for Jeff Parish (1/3rd acre) and have the room. Toyed with squaring off the back and adding a few hundred square feet, camelback, or just going straight up. I just don't think we'll have a solution until we meet with an architect and contractor.
To us, the displacement timing is more of an issue than the total cost, within reason. My gut is we'll be buying a lot and building new, or going with whichever is the quickest solution and still not have 100% of what we want

I can only imagine the price of that lot. With the way things are costing now, I'd think a bare lot is up there with the cost of a decent size starter home 20 years ago.
