Cost of building a home is on the rise. We have just re-vising the price of our 3000 plan. The Cost of labor over all is down, but Materials are limited do to a lot of company shut downs, which in turns make the cost go up.
Lumber 30% since 1/2010
Concrete 15% since 1/2010 do to fuel cost.
HVAC 50% since 2007 look out cap and trade
Some things have gone down, but these are some shocking ones that have just surprised me.
Our 3000 plan is building for the same price today as it was in 2007 at the peak of the housing boom. Overall, just like anything, prices year over year will continue to go up or stay some what flat. Can you buy a new 2010 Ford f-150 for less today than in 08. I think not.
Have a great weekend and invite some friends over for a pool party, we are.
Sincerely,
Sunny Arizona
