"This House" on 3/4 acre in YOUR area... what does it cost?

[RUDisney]

Think so? You are in PA, as am I. All the sites I went to say about $95 - $100 per SF..... so right there you are 275K or more... Plus land. I wish we could do it at that price.... down here the land ( 3/4 acre ) is about 250K! Sigh.....

My sister's house is 2 years old. Very similar in size and structure. She paid about $250K with the land. It can be done. Depends on the area and the builder. Things are expensive here if you make them be. Now, that was without the landscaping. She paid about $10K for that last summer... plus, she had to blast to be able to dig her foundation. That is included in the $250K.

A lot that size is an extra $35,000 to $50,000 around here.

I would guess about $270,000 to $350,000 with the lot. Depends on exactly where you put it. They don't build anything like that around here, style wise. Love the wrap-around.

My sister has a house going up right now, 4,300sq foot. Big treed lot, great school distric. $370,000.

That is what is drawing my wife to it.

More than 1 to 1.5 million dollars... maybe more, depending on the surrounding area.

Although... you don't need to know from me, since I'm in North Jersey.


Beautiful house though.

Oh my. You don't even want to know!

I'm going to guess somewhere close to $1.5M. Let's just say that houses like mine (small, old, in need of repair) are going for $350,000 to $400,000. My neighbors house is 900sq ft, 1.5 bathrooms, 2-3 bedrooms, small kitchen and no garage and they are looking for $409,000. I don't think they'll get it but that is why I cannot afford a house around here.

Either I need to move near some of you, or I better plan on living at my parents house for forever.

 

[Papa Deuce]

definitely over $1 mill

Looks like PA is a bargain!... We are 25 miles west of CC Philly.

 

[mrsltg]

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $800k.

 

[Feralpeg]

That home on 3/4 acre would go from $1,500,000 to 2,500,000 depending on whether the lot was on a lake or not.

 

[3DisneyBuggs]

In my neighborhood I would say about 2 million.

 

[imsorry]

The layout is very similar to my house. We are on 1 acre lots. I would think around $600- $650,000.

Wow, I tried to edit and got 3 posts!!!

 

[MamaLema]

at LEAST 800, 000 around here. Probably more

 

[BriarfoxinWA]

Around here - $100 - $120 a sq. foot to build so $348K for the house. The lot would depend on if it were in town, what neighborhood etc.. or out in the country. So total would range from $400K to $450K

 

[eclectics]

Looks like the houses they just built around the corner from me. That house on a much smaller lot goes for 800,000 to 900,000 in my area (NYC suburb).

Rural Mississippi: About $250K depending on whether you put it in town or just outside of town.

It could also change depending on the upgrades to the house.

The important question to this thread is...

Why no poll?

THIS question would've made an interesting poll.

You're slipping, PapaDeuce!

You can go to Zillow.com to see what homes are worth.

I tried to use Zillow and my house came up for $50,000 less then what it recently appraised for. My parents house was $100,000 less then the appraised value. How does it find the values?

 

[UnderTheMistletoe]

We're in Annapolis, Maryland. The .75 of an acre in and of itself would be high priced. I would say this house on that sized lot would be between $900,000 and $1,200,000. MUCH higher if you were waterfront or had water access.

I don't know. My house came in right on and so did my condo in Miami.
What kind of appraisal was it? Usually bank appraisals come out higher because they want to give you the loan. Or maybe nothing has sold recently in your area, so they don't ahve anything new to base it on.

It would be 600,000 in my neck of the woods. I love it!
