Cost of new construction in North California

[Manas M.]

I didn't find any recent post related to this topic so I thought I'll start a new discussion. I see a lot of houses being torn down and new construction coming up in my Bay Area, California neighborhood.

I am curious to know what's the cost of constructing a new house in Bay Area would be. I know there are several factors depending on the size, quality, luxuriousness of the building, etc so looking for examples from folks with experience in the matter.

Please also list any other resources to estimate such costs.
