I searched and didn’t see anything yet so…

Has anyone heard or had experience with buying or selling a home that is gutted post flood. I know there has to be an additional discount given because of the current condition. Any idea what roughly price per sq foot these house are being sold/bought for? $10/sq, $15/sq???

At those prices you're approaching land value (or less) sales. Not a chance in hell I'd let my gutted house go for land value.

I don't have a clue, but $10/sq ft can't be right. That's $20K for a 2K sq ft home.

Or in OT terms, that's $50K for a 5K sq ft home.

Even $15/sq ft seems really really low.

My daughter's home was gutted after Katrina, had water to the attic. Bought the home 7 months earlier for $90,000, sold it for $20,000. She did have flood insurance though.

If someone rebuilds a flooded house I assume it should have all drywall removed, replace electrical and HVAC. Then new drywall and trims, new doors and windows.

I assume plumbing is ok to leave in place? And tile on slab would be ok?

I am sorry for the folks affected by the storms. Just wondering what would be necessary.
