This paper will attempt to explain the following conclusions: The housing market is normally in a “growth mode” (where new homes are required to accommodate an increasing population) or a “retraction mode” where the supply of existing homes is more than sufficient to accommodate demand. When in the growth mode, home values are closely related to the cost of new homes (replacement value); when in the retraction mode, all bets are off. The cost of building a house (the bricks & mortar) has, over the past several decades, increased, by almost exactly the same percentage as the cost of living (CPI); The total cost of a new house, including land, has increased by a much greater amount; The runaway cost of housing is due to rapidly increasing lot costs, resulting from:
An increase in lot cost results in a “multiplier effect” which causes housing costs to increase by more than the increase in the lot cost, as well as the structure. Artificial constraints like building permit limitations, impact fees, etc. result in higher lot costs which, owing to the multiplier effect, push housing costs even higher.

Top 10 things you should know about Buying New Construction.

10. Proper planning produces proper performance. Where is the septic going to go? What is the sun's orientation? Where is the house going to be situated on the lot? Is there enough room for the pool or the future barn? Should we buy the land first or design the home to fit the land? There are a million questions you could consider; each building project is unique. Some of the significant questions involve whether or not there is a walk-out basement, a pool, deck or patio, sun's orientation, etc. If a walk-out is a must you need to find a lot that will accommodate a house design with a walk-out. This may seem obvious, but it is often overlooked or misunderstood. If you are designing a passive solar home as part of a green construction project, then the lot's orientation to the sun is very important. Prioritize, gather information, consult and render an opinion, then realize that your requirements may need modification.
9. Own the plans. By owning the plans you keep your options open relative to meeting with several different builders. Be careful of plans bought from the internet or magazines. Many of these plans may have to be redrawn in order to meet state and local building codes. Ask around and work with a local designer or architect who knows the area. Some builders may own their own plans but they may be willing to sell the right to reproduce their plans with another builder.
8. Shop the plans to several builders. Create a full detail of what the builder is going to be asked to price. The price may only be as good as the information given to them. Many times I hear, "Bob the builder is building at $125/sqft and you are @ $150/sqft." I will then ask, "What is he quoting for allowances? What type of materials are they using? Where are the plans? What are your expectations and what level of quality are you looking for?" Often the information is incomplete and needs more clarification.
