What area of the country would this be in? The price is a bit lower than
found here in NV, but not my much. We have actual new starter homes
advertised in the $80/sf range, but by the time you are ready to live in
them, completing what's left off, you're at $100. To get to where you're
talking, it'd be $150/sf or more.

Houston suburbs.

A good time to buy a house in this area. Since this last tax break
expired, sales have slowed considerably and volume builders are starting
to feel the pinch, again.

I've looked at Leon's floor plan and it is an excellent deal, and a sign
of the times. And Leon certainly knows more than enough about
construction to be comfortable with the build quality.

I certainly can't build a comparable home in the near SW area for that
sf price. Then again, I couldn't give away a single story house where I
build, even though I would prefer one myself and think it is a smarter
choice.

AAMOF, if it weren't for SWMBO, who's business is her passion and
extremely location sensitive, I'd consider selling and following Leon's
"upgrade" to a four car garage.
