How Much Will it Cost to Build My Home from the Ground Up?
Your dream home is in sight! You have worked out the number of bedrooms and bathrooms you want. You have ideas for the kitchen, living room, fireplace, floors, fixtures and furnishings. Oh yes, you also want a pool with a custom deck, landscaping and a 3-car garage.
So how much will it cost to build your dream home?
Reported Price Per Square Foot
Surprisingly, it can seem there is no exact cost figure that can be given in response to this question. And at this point a lot of confusion can enter the budget equation.
A Google search about the cost of building a home in Hillsborough or Pinellas County, Florida, gives results suggesting custom homes cost between $100 and $400 per square foot. That’s a staggering difference. On a 4000 square-foot home, that means your project could cost anywhere from $400,000 to $1.6 million. How can you properly budget on that?
