Information on building costs
Hi all - looking for some general information on building costs in Austin.
I'm looking to move here and the first purchase will likely be a single family home as a primary residence.
I have three options:
1. Buy something ready to move-in
2. Buy a fixer upper
3. Buy land or a complete tear-down candidate.
Whats missing for me is the approximate timeframes and costs of construction and rehabilitations in Austin. Does anyone here have a sense of that?
I'm sure that part of the response will be "it depends on location and type of build" - I'm just looking for a range right now so I can figure out what would be the best strategy.
