It was a tiny 1 story shithole starter home way out in the suburbs.

Nobody is building small homes like that anymore.


nailed it.

at least in texas, or more specifically where i live in texas, contractors aren't able to make profit on the smaller homes therefore they are focusing on 200k plus homes. Small piece of shite houses from just a couple years ago are up 30-40k, and many of these "first time buyer" type houses are getting multiple offers, and are off the market quick.

$200k is a big house. I'm lost.

$200k would not even get you a 50x20 small lot where I live.

Were contractors ever making a profit on smaller less than 200k homes?
