in a stick frame market and one of the cheapest markets to build we build with margin at $190 or so a square foot. that will go up over time about 5% or 10% a year to keep up with new build price increases. we are buidling a 3 story walk up and source some of the lowest priced crews.

Many employers are seeing now as a great time to opportunistically buy or lease, usually downsizing, into new office spaces in the district during this period where there are still depressed prices, even on some Class A office spaces.The Resurgence of the Office Market in D.C.The resurgence of employers returning to the city with the pandemic fears now in the rearview mirror is apparent with Q4 of 2024 being the first quarter of positive leasing absorption for office space in the District over the last 10 quarters (Source) Another example is Boston Properties Group (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of Class A Office space in the United States, is building a 320,000 square foot new trophy office in Downtown DC, with 5 floors already pre-leased to the global law firm McDermott Will & Emery as well as the Rockefeller Group developing a 422,000 square foot office building slated for delivery in 2026 at 600 Fifth St.NW, which is similarly 50% pre-leased (Source).

I paid $165,000 for the 1600 sq foot home and I'm assuming I will have to put at least half that much into repairs as there is severe damage to floors and walls as well as black mold.

I want to make sure I am putting my best foot forward with this guy so I was hoping for some examples and feedback here.Let me know!

A lot more comes down to price per square foot than people outside that area understand. 

@Natalie Kolodij, "a cramp in their foot" - really?????

Also, while we can show records of median list price and cost per square foot, those are not necessarily helpful in determining future appreciation because factors such as new home inventory can skew these numbers.

You should be able to build an entirely new deck with concrete footing for less.
