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.

many areas of the country.

Hmm. I'm in Houston. 3000 sq ft, 6 bedrooms, 4 baths, brick, new roof, 4-car
detached garage. $120,000. 'Course the building WAS a duplex which was
upgraded via an internal door....
