We just put a contract on an existing house in the northern suburbs of
Atlanta. The cost per (livable) square foot works out to be about $53.00.


Sounds like a good bargain. I just had my house appraised for a re-fi and it
comes out to $176. per square foot of livable space. Does not include
garage. My home would actually sell for probably 30% more than the
appraisal.


It's pretty rare today to find a decent house for under $100/sq ft in
many areas of the country.
