If I remember correctly, your original post said that you wanted to spend $350,000. At $300 a square foot, you could only build a 1000 square-foot house, because you still have to buy the lot. And I’m not sure anybody lets you build anything that small anymore.

I'm looking at a new construction listed in Londonderry, $699,900.00 for 3245 sq/ft, been on the market for 82 days which is kinda weird.
I know good lots in town if you can find one is 150K, that gets the house to $549,900 which equates to a sq/ft price of $169.50 Even if the land was free it rolls up to $215.68 sq/ft Yes for some reason your way better off finding something already built |

On zillow.com...
You can look up current for sale and past sold properties, new construction spec and resale and it will tell you value/ sq. ft. Although that may include land.

Again, it just doesn't make sense to build where we're looking. We are much better off buying existing construction than trying to build in this high flying market. I really appreciate the help, and now I understand why a lot in a desirable neighborhood might sit. |

So she decided to gut and rebuild the place. She told me she got an estimate of 260K but as of a week ago she told me that price has gone up 70K and that doesn't include a new septic which it needs. The place is going to be about 1600 sq ft not counting the walk out unfinished basement. I think she's going to have 400K into the rebuild by the time it's finished and it's still an A frame. |

Are talking Mass. or Meredith? Funny- I'm talking about 60's buildings! I know you can't know, but I'd be interested to find out how much the current building is insured for. |

Meredith, just let me say that she is sparing no expense. They are doing a fantastic job but it's still going to be a million dollar A frame when done.
