Heh, you horse's ass, I realize perfectly well, as does everyone else
with a pulse, that the cost of land is a factor in what a house sells
for. But if you can read and comprehend, the question I asked has
nothing to do with the cost of the land. The question was about
CONSTRUCTION cost for a new home on a lot one buys, not the cost of
land. Now you want to go on and defend this nonsense advanced by other
chowder heads about construction costs varying 7 to 8X for the same
house built in different locations in NJ? I don't think so.


I live in central Jersey, near the shore. Recently my insurance company
valued my house at $150 /sq foot as the cost of rebuilding it. I would rate
the quality of this house as a little better than average. The above price
does not include the cost of constructing a basement.
