Are yall talking about sq foot living or total?

$135 for total sq foot sounds rediculously high.

I just finished building last yr and it cost me $135/ft2 living. That included the lot.

Living definitely. $135 was still higher than I was expecting, but I got quotes from 3 builders and they were within $1 of each other.

There are new homes in my neighborhood now that the same builders are asking $140-142/ft for. I guess I'm hoping prices keep going up now.
