Default Re: Building a Home Vs. Buying a Home

There is more to the cost than just the land and the house itself. What about building regulations, sewage, water, landscaping, etc? And, you may not even know what your taxes will be on the home until after it is built. If you chose to build then go for it. But, I am not so sure you will "get more for less" on a new build. But, I have never built a home either. However, we did look into it, researched builders and were going to bid on a lot. But, after we ran the numbers, we decided against it.
