Builders often quote the cost for the building only, so you might check to see if it includes landscaping, fences, finish grading, driveway, etc. 

I should also mention that the house backs up to our new lightrail tracks, so I'm hoping to deaden the noise with a few creative ideas - landscaping, etc.  

Also handmen and landscapers.

At least in the Seattle market, American Homes for Rent do not take good care of their landscaping. 

If the cheapest thing they can build, (excluding 3 story 1400sf disasters), is costing them $300k and selling for almost $400k with zero upgrades, landscaping, appliances, etc, I just don’t see it as an impact.
