On a 3,000 sq foot home that just got bid this week, I saw the lumber package at 180,000. That should have been around 95,000. Overall, on a 3,000 sq foot home, lumber can be from 10-15% of the overall cost. These days, it’s from 15-20-%. While that is relevant, I’m not sure it’s had much impact on the higher end homes.


What’s price per sqft? Haven’t started talking to builders but prob will in the next 6-8 months.

This was a very custom home. I’m told overall price to build is between 850,000 and 1mm excluding the lot.

It was bid on maximum possible cost basis
