I was wondering when 300k became “affordable.” We all know the 300k plan is as bare bones as it gets too

Not trying to be snarky, but what would be considered reasonably priced new builds?

Really the only fix is governor sibsidized developments tat build 1-1.5k square foot homes that go for 200-250k. I just don’t know where you build these.

It’s hard to make the economics of single family 1200sqft house much cheaper than a 2000sqft house. All the soft costs and economies of scale just make bigger houses more popular when the land is cheap Townhomes are more cost efficient to build at the 200k price point

Go into a place like Cranberry. 1970’s Ryan Homes split entries with 3 beds, 1 bath and a 1 car garage at about 1000sf are going over $300k now.

You can’t build it cheaper with land values as they are.
